Billy Billingham, Call to Kill
Another one from the SAS boys and actually this one wasn’t bad. I got this one fabulously cheap, about $15 from memory. Which was a fluke as it was a new release at the time, pre cost of living crisis and all. I’ll take it! Features Matt ‘Mace’ Mason, a pleasingly predictable SAS character as…

Ollie Ollerton, All or Nothing
While I generally prefer hardcopy books, I scammed a Kindle copy of this about a week before official release for a whole $2 due to what can only be attributed to an Amazon error.

Once a literature snob with a preference for erudite texts, especially those written in Australian or British English. One day I had an epiphany: Who has time for that all that stuffiness that goes nowhere anymore?
And so now I read almost exclusively for entertainment. Fantastical, at times outrageous, sometimes plain B-grade thriller novels, mainstream self-development, business coaching and the odd bit of travel writing. If it can be found on the shelves of your airport’s WH Smith, I’m probably into it.
