Overview

Since 9/11, the door between the pilots and the passengers on an airliner must be locked and impossible to break down. But what if the pilots are dead? Tristie Merritt leads a renegade band of ex-soldiers. Their daring scam will take millions from a furious British government and give it to veterans' charities -- if MI5 don't catch up with them first.

"gritty and authentic" - Andy McNab

"Hard driving, fast-paced...BOLT ACTION is a helter-skelter must-read.' - Sam Kiley, author of Desperate Glory

It has all the necessary ingredients - MI5, MI6, the CIA, the White House Situation Room, Al-Qaeda inspired terrorists, British military heroes, mid-air heart-stopping drama and the intrigue of the Islamabad bazaars. You won't be able to put this one down!" - Colonel Mike Dewar

Meet the Author

Born in London and raised in Fiji, Charlie Charters spent his working life based in Hong Kong and now lives near Malton, North Yorkshire, which rightly considers itself the horse-racing capital of the known world. One of his first memories is of traveling with his mother, an award-winning filmmaker, as she tried to piece together the rackety strands of Somerset Maugham's life-changing travels through the Pacific. Those trips, and being caned on his 13th birthday by a headmaster whose own father it turned out had similarly thrashed the schoolboy Roald Dahl somehow gave him an early desire to become a writer. However he did very little about this until turning forty, by which time he had worked, variously, as a racing tipster, war reporter, radio DJ, award-winning TV producer and presenter. He is married with four children and a Labrador that likes to watch the news. BOLT ACTION is his first novel.

    WOW!!!!

    Charlie is my darlin, so the song goes. Hard to believe that this the authors first published book. Well done, hard to put down....I can,t wait to read his next effort. Actually did not require suspension of disbelief....which I have found to be an all too common failing these days. THANKS for the thrill ride !,!

    The first of this book for me does not hold my interest.

    Maybe I haven't read enough of this book to be objective but I can't get interested in the foreign names that this book starts out with. It drags on with places in the world that some people have a hard time understanding the culture. Maybe if I could get into the book a little more I will be able to see how the plot progreses. I am not a person to give up easy. Right now I am into another book that I can relate to from the begining.

    Original gripper with good eye for details

    This is a well written, hang on and read all night book. I just had a hard time putting it down. Sad day that its the only book published by the writer.
