Trigger Point

2015

Meet Wolfe. Ex-SAS and haunted by the ghosts of his fallen comrades. He left the army with a chest full of medals and PTSD. Now he faces the toughest challenge of his life. Preventing a hostile coup in the UK. He's recruited by Britta Falskog, a former member of Swedish Special Forces now working for MI5. There used to be something between them, but it's all business now. Read Book One - Trigger Point - now Sir Toby Maitland claims to be standing for Parliament. But his ultra-nationalist rhetoric is more than just a vote-grabber. Set up by MI5, he hires Gabriel as a spokesman/enforcer. Working undercover, Gabriel travels to the US with Maitland. His brief, discover Maitland's plan and then stop him. With deadly force. He gets embroiled in a drugs-for-cash deal with Hells Angels. Then must convince Maitland where his loyalties lie, on a farm in Michigan run as an arms depot by an ex-South African security service operator. With the Prime Minister due to overfly Maitland’s estate en route to a military conference, and a paramilitary force gathered in preparation for a coup, time is running out for Wolfe. As the action swings from the English countryside to Chicago, upstate Michigan and back again, expect plenty of kinetic action in calibres from 5.56mm up to the mighty "fifty cal". Plus martial arts, knife-fights and car chases. Wolfe may be learning the ways of spooks, but his military skills are still razor-sharp. As he gathers intel along the way he teams up with an ex-Delta Force operator, Shaun Cunningham. The two men bond over shared experiences in service until a horrifying development smashes the partnership. It all starts here Trigger Point is the first novel in this series of all-action thrillers. It follows Wolfe from the SAS into the murky shadows of covert assassination ops for The Department. Other books in the series see him combat Chechen terrorists, a death cult in the rainforest, political corruption and Russian crime gangs. But first there's a planned coup in the UK and Gabriel is tasked with killing its leader. DOWNLOAD YOUR COPY OF TRIGGER POINT NOW

Reversal of Fortune

2015

In this short story, a walk with his friend's terrier turns into a mission to exact retribution on a local bully when Gabriel finds one of his female neighbours crying at the wheel of her car. Lander Reeve is a mega-successful bond trader with a big mouth and an even bigger SUV. He's been running Gabriel's neighbour off the road and Gabriel decides it's time to put a stop to the man's behaviour. For good. A midnight mission to recce the bully's property gives Gabriel the idea for some poetic justice involving some heavy-duty steel cable and some emergency red triangles. No gunplay (or not from Gabriel) but plenty of action in this diversion from Gabriel's bloodthirstier exploits. We also learn more about the influences that shaped his character. Praise for Trigger Point, the first full-length novel about former SAS-captain Gabriel Wolfe... “Action, double-crosses, villains galore… a rattling good thriller! Early Bond meets Jack Reacher - a thrilling debut outing for a new action hero.” Damien Seaman, author of Berlin Burning and The Killing of Emma Gross.

Blind Impact

2016

FIRST YOU FLY, THEN YOU DIE When British Special Forces veteran Gabriel Wolfe is involved in a collision with a delivery truck, he lands up in a military hospital, where he discovers that someone is fatally sabotaging top-secret RAF flights using a new performance-enhancing drug. Now, with two British women snatched by Chechen separatists, and the Farnborough Airshow fast approaching, Gabriel has to rescue the kidnap victims and prevent another pilot’s death. \\\* Kasym brings the long-bladed knife up so Chloe can see the orange glow of the passing streetlamps reflected in the polished steel. The move works. It usually does. She becomes completely still. Sarah, Chloe’s mother, stares open-mouthed at the blade. It has a very narrow tip and glints viciously along its stone-whetted edge. So begins the kidnapping that plunges Gabriel Wolfe into a search and rescue mission in the Baltic state of Estonia. But there is more at stake than the lives of two British tourists. Someone is tinkering with a performance-enhancing drug designed to help British fighter pilots exploit the potential of the Typhoon fighter. Caught between Russian mafia bosses and Chechen terrorists, Gabriel has to find the hostages before the crowds at the Farnborough Airshow witness a jet fighter flown into the ground at 900 mph by its hallucinating pilot. The mission calls for street-fighting skills, military strategy and a stint undercover as a doorman for Jonny Rocketz, a sleazy bar in Talinn’s red light district. Gabriel is up for the challenge, but he’s still carrying guilt for leaving a comrade’s body behind in his last, disastrous mission for the SAS. Will it overwhelm him just when he needs to be at his most focused? This is the second full-length outing for Gabriel Wolfe, former SAS soldier and freelance security consultant. If you like your action heroes to have an intriguing back story alongside their military chops, he’s the man for you.

1765

The young girl flinches as she’s sewn into a suicide vest A young girl detonates her suicide vest on a crowded London bus. Ex-SAS covert agent Gabriel Wolfe is caught up in the carnage. Rushing to help the bleeding and traumatised victims he sees his own bloodied face reflected in hundreds of steel ball-bearings. The nightmarish vision triggers his PTSD but it also goads him into action. Wolfe calls his boss at The Department. ‘I want to find the man who ordered this. Find him. And kill him. That man is a delusional French psychopath called Christophe Jardin. Fine wine, classical music … and extreme violence The angry child of upper-class Marxists, Jardin has a taste for classical music, fine wine and extreme violence. Styling himself ‘Père Christophe’, he runs a pseudo-religious cult deep in the Amazonian rainforest in Brazil. He recruits his disciples in London then selects the prettiest and the most vulnerable to join him at his compound where he indulges his depraved appetites. To get to Jardin, Wolfe will have to face down a sadistic Colombian cartel boss and a vicious biker gang. “To join us you must give up everything” Working alongside Metropolitan Police anti-terror officers, Gabriel infiltrates the cult by posing as a willing disciple. But when he travels to Brazil, things go badly wrong. Lost and alone in the cult's compound in the Brazilian rainforest, Gabriel is tortured, brainwashed and fitted with his own suicide bomb. With the stakes raised to breaking point, Gabriel needs to draw on all his training and resources to avoid obliterating a crowd of civilians at the launch of a new power station before returning to confront the man he came to kill. Where he receives a mind-numbing shock that almost destroys him. Readers’ opinions “A hundred miles an hour adventure tale which starts with a suicide bombing of a London bus. On a trail of vengeance Gabriel travels far and wide to avenge these deaths and nearly becomes a victim himself in the hands of a cult that has death at its heart. The tension lasts throughout this well told tale. You'll find it hard to put it down.” Richard Cole “The pace of the narrative is fantastic and draws you right on to the next chapter. I really like the way Andy Maslen creates his locations. Whether the hero is in Oxford Street or in the jungle or the English countryside, he somehow manages to conjure up all the sights, sounds and smells to convince you it's real.” H.V. Sherborne “I really enjoyed this book, only problem is that it is hard to put it down! Have bought more and now on book 5. Fantastic throughout!” Jessie The third book in an enthralling series This fast-paced, thriller is packed full of break-neck action. Be prepared to lose sleep as you promise yourself ‘just one more chapter’. A hero like no other Readers have compared Wolfe to other familiar action heroes. Jack Reacher. John Milton. Ben Hope. Spider Shepherd. Mitch Rapp. But in truth he is his own man. He's no super-soldier or indestructible man-mountain. If he's shot, he bleeds ... and he hurts. His PTSD, which he battles along with his country’s enemies, gives his missions a sharper edge. But make no mistake. Wolfe is a good man to have on your side in a tight spot. And he always finds time to help those in trouble, whether or not they are paying for his services. DOWNLOAD YOUR COPY OF CONDOR NOW

If you want a book (or even a series) of books that will provide exciting holiday reading, or any other time, then these are the books for you.” Mrs K Miles “This fifth instalment will not disappoint Wolfe fans. In Fury, Wolfe finds himself battling with an unknown enemy who clearly has designs on destroying his life, which includes targeting those close to him. As the story unfolds we see Gabriel venturing around the world as he chases down clues to help him identify his attacker whilst protecting those who mean anything to him. A great romp that will have you on the edge of your seat!” Badabing666 First Casualty "I regularly read books of this action/adventure genre and I recently discovered Andy Maslen and his character Gabriel Wolfe.
