Commando
Commando is the first in a trilogy of military sci-fi books which follow the Royal Marine Space Commandos. If you like action-packed books about space marines who are British, you’ll love this book. Join the Marines of Lympstone Company as they protect the colony world of New Bristol against an invasion.
A colony is under invasion. It’s time to send in the Commandos.
When the Royal Marines are called to New Bristol, they’re expecting their mission will be just another insurgent hunt. What they face when they arrive is anything but a spot of local trouble though.
After a brutal firefight, Lieutenant Warden finds himself leading the remaining Commandos in defence of the colonists. Their enemy has superior numbers, weaponry and armour. They see the colony as a soft target, but they weren’t counting on facing the Royal Marine Space Commandos.
Warden must bring the fight to the enemy, and bring it with all the fire and fury he can summon. With only their basic weapon packages and equipment available, it’ll be a tough fight.
Can one young Lieutenant and a score of Marines bring an end to the invasion?
I’m writing the book with a collaborator, my brother Jon. We have two more exciting instalments planned in this trilogy and then two more trilogies after that to take the story into other areas of the world we’ve been building.
