Battle Ready is his answer to that low point, distilled into a clear framework anyone can follow. At its core is a simple but powerful process: find your true purpose, visualise a concrete outcome, identify the habits holding you back, and replace them with sustainable, positive routines. Rather than abstract theory, the book is built around actionable exercises designed to fit around busy, real-world lives, so readers can start applying the lessons immediately. Ollie draws parallels between the mental toughness required to survive Special Forces selection and the resilience needed to navigate everyday setbacks, showing that courage is a skill that can be trained rather than a trait you either have or lack. The result is an honest, no-nonsense companion for anyone ready to stop standing still and start moving forward, whatever \"battle\" they are currently facing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA clear four-step system: purpose, visualisation, breaking bad habits, and building positive routines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal, hard-won lessons from SAS selection and Special Forces service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonest reflections on depression, addiction, and personal setbacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical, actionable exercises designed for busy everyday life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a genuine Sunday Times bestselling author\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatthew \"Ollie\" Ollerton is a former Special Forces soldier who began his military career at 18 with the Royal Marine Commandos, serving in Northern Ireland and during Operation Desert Storm in Iraq.

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.

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.
