AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Privileged and entitled, David Phillips, realised he had to mend his ways when he faced, not one, not two, but three, crossroad moments in his life. First, he suffered under the guilt of shouldering the blame for losing a crucial rugby game. Second he has to deal with the shame of a drunken episode with a woman who steals him blind during the night, and third, when he is confronted with the very real possibility of losing his place at Oxford university because of poor results.

'Determined to reclaim himself and concentrate on his studies, David joins the SAS reserves. Initially treated with disdain by the hierarchy; he redeems himself by leading the team that rescues an SAS Sergeant - one of their own - from a group of terrorists.

'With his appetite for risky enterprises whetted and possessing a unique ability to innovate solutions to difficult situations, David finds himself involved in a series of adventures, including a brief affair with the estranged wife of his commanding officer. He also leads a team of commandos to rescue a British 'businessman' from a group of Jihadis in Kenya.

'Now married with two children, David finds himself at Webster's, a large and successful financial advisory firm. He concocts a scheme to flush out the perpetrator of an attempt to steal highly confidential information. His subterfuge, in the guise of an apparently spontaneous office affair, has far-ranging implications that put his marriage, his career and even his life in jeopardy.'
