RISK (Work in Progress)

 After a summer of watching sporting spectaculars, I am surprised to find that I have managed to complete almost fifty thousand words of my latest manuscript, another historical fiction novel entitled RISK. Set in France during WWII, it follows the adventures of a young soldier as he strives to avenge the deaths of his brothers. I am writing the novel as a sequel to LES RUINES, published earlier this year in paperback and e-book formats. http://www.amazon.com/Les-Ruines-ebook/dp/B00731P2GQ/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1328041631&sr=8-9

On his final mission,he fails to reach his target; ‘missing presumed dead’ becomeshis epitaph.
