Ex-Special Forces soldier Alex Abbott has escaped the Middle East under a cloud and now scrapes a living in Singapore as a gun for hire, estranged from his family and haunted by the ghosts of his past. When a new, dangerous path looms, Abbott must confront old sins he thought he'd buried. Authentic and gripping, this is thriller writing from someone who has lived it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEvery battle leaves its mark. That's the idea driving Scar Tissue, the first novel in Ollie Ollerton's Alex Abbott series. Alex Abbott is a former Special Forces operative whose career ended in disgrace in the Middle East. Now based in Singapore, he survives as hired muscle, drowning his regrets in drink while the people who once mattered most remain at arm's length. Life on the margins is tolerable — at least he's not back in Baghdad — until a new job draws him into danger that forces old wounds back to the surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat sets Scar Tissue apart is the authenticity Ollerton brings to every page. Having served with the Royal Marines and Special Boat Service before working as a private security contractor in Iraq, Ollerton writes combat, tradecraft and the psychological toll of violence with precision only genuine experience can deliver. The result is a tightly plotted, fast-moving thriller that never loses sight of its central character's humanity — a man trying to outrun his past while the past keeps catching up. Fans of hard-edged, morally complex military thrillers will find a compelling new voice and a series worth following from the very first book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDebut fiction from a No.1 Sunday Times bestselling non-fiction author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic Special Forces detail from a genuine ex-operative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, twisting plot set across Singapore and the Middle East\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFirst book in the ongoing Alex Abbott series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for thriller and military fiction fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback, perfect for shelf or gift-giving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMatthew 'Ollie' Ollerton is a former Special Forces soldier best known for helping shape Channel 4's SAS: Who Dares Wins and SAS Australia.

They never mention alcohol. Ex-special forces soldier Alex Abbott has a lead on the killer of his dead brother, if only he can stay off the booze long enough to hunt it down. But the skeletons in Abbott's closet are mounting up faster than the bodies in the bags, and Abbott needs to get his focus back if he's going to get his revenge. In the shadowy underworld Abbott moves through, every lead comes with a body count. Drawing on Ollerton's own decorated career in the Royal Marine Commandos and Special Boat Service, All Or Nothing delivers tactical detail and raw emotional grit that only someone who has lived it could write. Following the acclaimed debut Scar Tissue, this second Alex Abbott thriller ramps up the tension and violence, following a broken hero forced to confront both an external enemy and his own self-destruction. This is a thriller that doesn't pull its punches, perfect for fans of gritty, character-driven action fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a genuine former Special Forces soldier for total authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecond explosive instalment in the acclaimed Alex Abbott thriller series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced, gritty military action perfect for thriller and crime fans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom the star of Channel 4's SAS: Who Dares Wins and SAS Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback, ideal as a gift or for your own collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMatthew 'Ollie' Ollerton is a former Special Forces soldier and was one of the founding Directing Staff on Channel 4's hit show SAS: Who Dares Wins and more recently SAS Australia.
