First of all thank you so much for taking the time to read my work. If you enjoyed it, then I would be extremely grateful if you would consider leaving a short review for me. A good review means so much to every writer but especially to self-published writers like myself. It helps new readers discover my books and allows me more time to create stories for you to enjoy.
To make it easier for you I have included the direct links to the review pages below:

Acknowledgments
This book wouldn’t have been written without the generous assistance of others and I would like to take the opportunity to thank them here.
Chris McGrath for his detailed insights on working in the region as a journalist. Without Chris, there would have been a lot of factual errors in the story, something I discovered only after forty thousand words, prompting a frantic re-write.
Anthony Wallace for his incredible array of contacts.
My Iraqi Habibis, Warka, Fay, and Shams who serve as my living translation app for the Arabic language as well as providing insight into the many different cultures in the Middle East.
David Gaughran, Fabiane Cidade, and Roberta Ferrias, for their assistance with the Portuguese scenes.
I also took advice from various ex-Police and Armed Forces personnel, who taught me about weapons and what it is like to be under fire. Ray DeVere, Ron Turner, James Rangno, thank you. Your input was invaluable.
My editor Sandy Ebel, who despite being handed a manuscript weeks late, still managed to edit and polish the story in time for release.
Of course none of this would have been possible without the support of my wife, K. This story was written during the COVID Lockdown, when we were confined to an apartment for nine weeks, a time when I struggled to be creative, and she struggled with having me moping around the house all day. Thank you, K.
