TRIAL BY FIRE - A new Ryan Drake novella is on the way!
In a tense and action-filled novella, Ryan Drake and his team must go to Ukraine to find a compromised CIA source – but is new unit member Keira Frost up to the job?
Tech specialist Keira Frost has just graduated to the big leagues. But despite numerous commendations for outstanding achievement and a tour of duty under her belt, it’s a reputation for insubordination that precedes her with Agency f Read more of this blog post »

“With its wide, tree-lined boulevards and rich architectural heritage dating back over a thousand years, Paris had long been considered a jewel amongst Europe’s capital cities; a place that had inspired the dreams of romantics, artists and connoisseurs of every kind, from every country.
But for Drake, crouched in the shadows of a dimly lit stairwell that smelled of stale urine and damp, it was an entirely different prospect. The rundown residential apartment block in which he found himself was, in contrast to the ornate architecture the city was known for, a product of cheap 1940s utilitarianism. Stark, bleak and inhabited by people who clearly wished they were living somewhere else, it certainly wasn’t the kind of place he’d visit by choice”

“A set of four Browning L9A1 automatic pistols complete with attachable silencers was perhaps the most important aspect of their gear for this mission. The weapons were standard issue in the British military, plus a few dozen other countries, and were basically just modified versions of a design that dated back to the 1930s. Old they might have been, but they were tried and true, and hopefully enough to see the group out of trouble if it came down to it”

“Of more interest was the weapon Watts carried in a shoulder holster on her ride side. The movement had caused her jacket to open a little, exposing the side arm. A Glock Model 22, chambered with .40 Smith & Wesson ammunition. Effective range, up to 50 metres. Standard issue for Agency security personnel.”

Wow! Thanks for such kind words, Sam. Very much appreciated, and great to hear from people who really get what I'm working towards with this series.
My best wishes,
Will
Hello again Mr Jordan. You probably know that I got Ghost Target for my smartphone on Android Google Play Books. I read it and finished it. My verdict? I loved the book. There are many things I want to say but I'll stick with the most important. The ending. Such bravery in picking that path, won my admiration. I consider you the most courageous spy novelist of the year. Don't fear the narrow minded reviews which bitch and moan about the creative choice you made.
As a great man once said:
"“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
You are one of the men in the arena of thriller writing.
You have proven yourself willing to not be one of those timid writers who neither seek to dare greatly or have any vision for their work. There are many of those people out there. It is a pleasure to find someone like yourself who defies such timidity.
In conclusion, I thank you for writing such a fine spy thriller which managed to provoke some very passionate reactions from me.
You will continue to go far and prosper in your writing career with Ryan Drake. I wish you all the best. Have a good one.
