Welcome to seven heavyweight thrillers, where each of the main characters formerly worked in the military or world of intelligence. Interestingly some of these authors also have military backgrounds, including Matt Johnson, David Gilman, James Deegan, and Brad Taylor, the authenticity of their knowledge hits home as you read. While most of these novels feature characters who live and operate in the shadows, I have also included Matt Johnson’s Robert Finlay, Finlay is a Metropolitan Police Officer (formerly of the SAS). Hayley Chill joins the men in this pack of novels, she operates in Deep State by Chris Hauty, Chris is a screenwriter and his ability to stamp a vivid sense of reality over proceedings makes Hayley a force to be reckoned with. Every single one of these novels is a high-octane read full of action and adrenaline and they come with my highly recommended stamp of approval.
