Read by Jonathan Keeble. Former SAS Captain Will Jackson is a man with nothing to lose. A veteran of the most dangerous missions & his life torn apart the day a terrorist attack killed his family, he leads a life of grief-stricken obscurity. People higher up the chain of command have other plans, however. They're in a mess, & unless they sort it out, thousands of innocent people will pay the price. & so they make Jackson an offer that will take him straight back into a brutal theatre of war. Only one person can help prevent the disaster that is waiting to happen, & that person is being held by the Taliban insurgency in the depths of Afghanistan. As Will prepares to undertake this final mission, he does so in the knowledge that it will stop a devastating terrorist attack
- as well as achieve an ulterior motive of his own. But in the murky world of international terrorism, things are very seldom what they seem. Will starts to learn that nobody can be trusted; & that sometimes, you just have to fight fire with fire.

Firebird

Set in a dystopian vision of the future, Firebird and her brother Ford live in a swamp on the edge of the city with their father and grandmother. They make a living by trapping eels - or so they believe until they discover that the eel smokery has been closed for a year, and that the family's money comes from the bags that Firebird makes from dried eel skins. Their shock at discovering that their whole lives have been based on lies - of which the most shocking is that their mother is still alive - coincides with a cataclysmic storm which destroys the swamp and kills their father. Slowly the family has to reassess their whole way of life and, indeed, who they actually are.
