The Faultlines of War series

At its heart, this series is about more than combat.
It is about what war does to people.
What duty asks of them.
What family means when generations carry the same burden.
And how courage is sometimes found not in the fight itself, but in living with what comes after.
If you enjoy gritty British military fiction, emotionally driven storytelling, and characters shaped by honour, trauma, endurance, and loyalty, then the Faultlines of War series may be for you. Whether you begin with The Lost Hero, throw yourself into Ghost in the Woods, or feel the emotional weight of When the Shooting Stops, each book carries its own story while building a wider legacy that continues to deepen with every instalment.

The Heat of Regret.

His war ended years ago.
The man he left behind never forgot.

Michael Clarke has tried to bury Basra, the dust, the guilt, and the promises he could not keep. But when a message arrives from Hristo Stojanov, an old interpreter turned deadly enemy, Michael is dragged back into the one chapter of his life he can never escape.

As past and present collide, Heat and Regret tells the story of a British soldier, a broken promise, and the terrible cost paid by those abandoned when the war moved on. From the mortar hit compounds and deadly streets of Basra to a modern-day hunt driven by grief and vengeance, this is a dark, tense and emotionally charged military thriller about loyalty, betrayal and revenge.

For readers of Chris Ryan and Andy McNab, Heat and Regret is a gritty British war thriller where the action is brutal, the emotion cuts deep, and the past comes back armed.
