A professional
ex-soldier emerges from
his self-imposed quiet
civilian career to take
on the rescue of an
abducted young African
woman.
Book
Description
A
young woman is kidnapped by
members of her family to be
‘sold’ as repayment of a
failed property business
deal. The evil landowner, a
self-styled ‘witch doctor’,
brokered this arrangement
for his own perverted
pleasures.
An ex-soldier who had
somewhat lost his way in
life is offered the
opportunity to take on a
contract to recover the girl
from her captors in Africa—a
rescue mission funded from a
surprising source not
normally connected with a
mercenary action.
The tale of the quality of
the man recruited for this
fast moving mission of mercy
is outlined against his
troubled resettlement into
civilian life and efforts to
restore his pride in
himself.
The fast moving operation
takes our soldier of fortune
from the UK to The Volta
Region of Ghana in West
Africa culminating in a
quick but savage encounter
in the pursuit of the
abductors and their victim.

This is a tale of the
experiences and opinions
of a former army officer
(seeking to change his
way of life) after
thirty years serving in
H M Forces. The total
change from a regulated
and controlled military
establishment to that of
working in isolation in
West Africa, without
communication, and with
limited support from the
outside world, came as a
shock—and he had to deal
with it
