Well, I've finally finished the damn thing. Its been driving me around the twist for 3 solid years now.
Many of you have read my previous books. This is a novel I've wrote called Wasted Resource. Have a look via the link below and double click on the Book image as it allows you to read the first chapter.

It will be on Amazon too, soon, but is currently hot of the press.
Synopsis:
Four former soldiers, who are brought together by fate, realise their military skills have become a wasted resource. They form as a team, utilising their specialist skills to steal a vast sum of money, previously recovered by the police and guarded by the RAF Regiment. The task is initially deemed impossible, but a stroke of luck changes this.
Two illegal immigrants on the run from their own country, enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel. They plan the same heist without knowledge of the other team, carrying out a raid on one of two heavily guarded security vans.
The money is stolen, leaving one group empty handed and pursuing the other; resulting in kidnapping, torture and death. Eventually, the captors are led to a hidden weapons cache in Northern Ireland, where the money is stashed.
Newly promoted, Detective Sergeant Dave Watson is assigned by the police as lead investigator and highlights the likelihood that the robbers have military skills and backgrounds. CCTV film footage is acquired from the channel tunnel and motorway cameras and is scrutinized, identifying the team and also two Kurds as known hardened criminals
Meanwhile, M.I.6 express an interest in recruiting the former soldiers, wanting to setup a covert operations group and cover up their part in the robbery. However, changed plans alter this course and the team are double-crossed, leaving them to attempt to getaway!
Cheers
Steve

I review books ( and other products) for Amazon. If you want I'll review yours ( for free!) if you send me a copy. But I call them how I see (read) them so no favours, just an honest review.

Strangely, there's a character in my book who is also called Beast.
