Experience authentic covert operations as my highly skilled team penetrates hostile terrain, planning ruthlessly and striking cleanly. We navigate high-risk environments with precision and courage, executing intelligence-driven raids, silent extractions, and rapid withdrawals under fire—leaving shattered networks and silence behind.
I lead a hostage-rescue team into hostile territories, where impossible odds tighten like a noose. Every breach is knife-edge tense, every heartbeat charged. Trust fractures, reforms, and hardens as we fight, improvise, and survive—extractions under fire, lives saved, ghosts added.
I move from sun-soaked Caribbean Island to the unforgiving Australian Outback, trading salt spray for heat shimmer. Jungle rot, coral harbours, red-dust horizons—each backdrop breathes, frames contact, and sharpens senses as missions ignite, lives at stake, decisions calculated, time hostile.
Each mission knots into a larger conspiracy, threads crossing where I least expect. Allies fracture, loyalties flip, and quiet rooms turn lethal. I read the terrain, adapt, and drive forward—relentless suspense, hard turns, and ambush surprises that refuse to release.
I’m a British Army veteran; battle-hardened leadership keeps the unit tight. I weigh ethics against necessity, choose the least-worst option, and carry cost. Through compromised intel, civilian risk, and pressure, I plan, brief, adapt, and drive the team through missions.
Feel the shock of contact as I breach, clear, and move; controlled bursts, snap decisions, and brutal close-quarters fights. Tactical strikes punch holes in enemy networks, momentum surges, narrative drives—immersion in covert warfare’s chaos, where seconds decide survival under fire.
Beneath the gunfire, I fight for more than mission—family, loyalty, and the promises I refuse to break. Choices cut deep, consequences linger, and every op tests who I am. The thrill tightens because hearts, not targets, are on the line.
Every op runs on authentic tactics and hard tradecraft. I rehearse until muscle memory bites, brief-back, red-team, and refine routes, signals, and contingencies. Kit is audited, comms layered, angles cleared—precision and expertise that military-thriller diehards recognise instantly in every scene.
Across six books, I drive a continuous arc of interconnected missions, each operation seeding the next. Threads tighten, enemies evolve, consequences compound. Readers settle in for a truly immersive thriller experience—one relentless campaign, momentum carrying from first page to last.
Very good books these, with emphasis on the kind of action and adventure you see in the SEALS US TV series and things like the UK Strike Back hit TV series. When I read these I thought Back to the books of my youth I used to read. You'd call those US pulp fiction action adventure classics today probably. They were like these books here are today, full to overflowing with action and adventure, excitement and daring do. From Mack Bolan's Able Team to Phoenix Force style. Old school type hero novels of the professionals at the Sharp End of the War on Terror that has never ended and still goes on today.
Good Read An excellent book with plenty of twists and turns, it keeps you engaged to the end. Love the interaction between the main characters. Even though I’m not ex-military found it easy to follow due to the handy Glossary.
Looking forward to the next book
Not a book reader myself but I read this as I know the author and I am so glad I did, 1st thing I want to say is when’s the next instalment I’m hooked, it’s got everything I expect from a blockbuster film if you’re looking for a military grade story with lots of twists and turns look no further, it’s an easy to read story and keeps you wanting to turn the page. I got so into it that I was saying I will put it down after this page, but you can’t because you have to know what happens next lol
OW! Steve the author has drawn on his military service with the British Green Jackets around the world and his intensive cruising experiences to captivate the reader with first-class research and to deliver a fast-paced, entertaining thriller that takes you from your armchair to the islands of the Caribbean.
We are taken on a mission that is not all that it seems to be as the reader is taken on a helter skelter journey that needs precise planning and coordination to fulfill the mission.
Steve seems to really draw on his many life experiences that emanate from his well thought out characters that portray many facets of his own persona including his battle with PTSD and its continuing effect it has on his current life giving the reader an insight into problems associated with combat stress.
In all, a very entertaining book, and I would highly recommend it if you like fast-paced thrillers with the unusual twist at the end.
A well-researched thriller, Steve Barker is a most compelling storyteller.
Just about to begin his latest novel, The Extraction.
The authors characters come alive on the pages due to his covert military experiences and it’s good to see a love interest in Lucy who is one bad ass femme fatale.
The 2 new characters Derek and Lucy that joined in the last book have found their places in the team and I really hope that the author keeps them in.
This is a fast-paced thriller that you won’t put down until the end.
Loved it!
