Brothers in Arms
Summary
Darkly funny, shockingly honest, Brothers in Arms is an unforgettable account of the brutal reality of war - every boring, scary, exciting moment - and the bonds of friendship that can never be destroyed. If you could choose which two limbs got blown off, what would you go for?’ Danny said. ‘Your arms or your legs?’ In July 2009 Geraint (Gez) Jones was sitting in Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, with the rest of The Firm - Danny, Jay, Toby and Jake, his four closest friends, all junior NCOs and combat-hardened infantrymen. Thanks to the mangled remains of a Jackal vehicle left tactlessly outside their tent, IEDs were never far from their mind. Within days they’d be on the ground in Musa Qala with the rest of 3 Platoon - a mixed bunch of men Gez would die for. As they fight furiously, are pushed to their limits, hemmed in by IEDs and hampered by the chain of command, Gez starts to wonder what is the point of it all. The bombs they uncover on patrol, on their stomachs brushing the sand away, are replaced the next day. Firefights are a momentary victory in a war they can see is unwinnable. Gez is a warrior - he wants more than this. But then death and injury start to take their toll on The Firm, leaving Gez with PTSD and a new battle just beginning.

Legion
Summary
"Brutal, audacious, and fast-paced." (Anthony Riches, author of the Empire series) AD 6: The greatest army assembled in a generation. Battle, plunder, and glory await. But not for Legionary Corvus. He and half of his legion have been left behind to garrison the province of Pannonia, a wild place where the mountains are as deadly as any foe. Corvus despairs as he watches his closest friend Marcus march to war, not knowing that his own eager thirst for battle is about to be quenched; a huge rebel army has revolted against the Empire, and Corvus and his few comrades are all that stand against them. "Blood and guts, but also a clever exploration of the moral ambiguity of war and loyalty to a flag." (Mail on Sunday) "Historical fiction written by a real war veteran who knows all there is to know about blood and bonding in battle." (Weekend Sport) Legion is the eagerly anticipated prequel to Blood Forest (Ambush) and Siege.

Summary
When kidnappers dump their hostage’s body in the Rio Grande, grief-stricken border agent Dominic de Leon promises to bring justice to those beyond the reach of the law. "Kill them all." The dying wish of a man who has lost everything he held dear. The words are spoken to Dominic de Leon, a border patrol agent who is no stranger to death. Dom’s life has been ugly. From his father’s belt to the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, he has been a victim and the instrument of violence. Now, he will visit it upon the people who have taken his brother from him. An insurgency is raging on the border, but outside of the law, Dom will have to be an army of one, waging a war for revenge at night and fighting a battle for fatherhood in the day. The odds are stacked against, but Dom has never been one to worry about danger. His word is what matters most to him, and his word says that he will kill them all.
