Book Details
Bangkok, Thailandia: quattro devastanti esplosioni hanno scosso la città senza preavviso. Due importanti istituzioni sono state rase al suolo, lasciando zero sopravvissuti. Non c'è ancora stata alcuna rivendicazione. Le ambasciate britannica e americana sono state vittime delle esplosioni. Ciascun Paese avvia le proprie indagini autonomamente, ma per affrontare un "nemico invisibile" diventa indispensabile unire le forze. Nel frattempo, un membro del SAS viene inviato dal governo britannico a incontrare i suoi ex-colleghi Gareg, Bob e Dave, che gestiscono un hotel tradizionale a Koh Samui. Si sviluppa così tra Bangkok, Koh Samui e le giungle che si espandono al confine tra la problematica Thailandia meridionale e la Malesia, una trama avvincente in cui bisogna trarre il massimo da armi e strategie anticonvenzionali per cogliere di sorpresa il nemico. Un'opera emozionante, che riporta alla mente la questione irlandese degli anni '70 e '80 e tiene il lettore incollato alle pagine!
Author Description
Owen Jones, Amazon Best-Selling Author from Barry, Wales, has lived in several countries and travelled in many more. While studying Russian in the USSR in the '70's, he hobnobbed with spies on a regular basis. After university, in Suriname, he got caught up in the 1982 coup, when he was accused of being a mercenary. Later, while a company director, he joined the crew of four as the galley slave to sail, from Barry to Gibraltar on a home-made concrete yacht during Desert Storm. En voyage, the yacht was almost rammed by a Russian oil tanker, and an American aircraft carrier - The Atlantic Challenger.
In 2004, he started his first novel, Daddy's Hobby (from the seven-part series 'Behind The Smile: The Story of Lek, a Bar Girl in Pattaya'), but he didn't finish it until 2012. However, his largest collection is 'The Psychic Megan Series', twenty-three novelettes on the psychic development of a teenage girl, the subtitle of which, 'A Spirit Guide, A Ghost Tiger and One Scary Mother!' sums them up nicely. However, since 2012, he has written fifty-odd novels and novelettes, including the military drama Dead Centre; the spy novel Andropov's Cuckoo; a fantasy Fate Twister; a philosophical vampire comedy The Disallowed; a whodunnit Tiger Lily of Bangkok; and Spiritualist drama, A Night in Annwn (Annwn being the ancient Welsh word for Heaven). Not only that, but many have been translated into foreign languages and narrated into audiobooks.
Since 2004, he has lived mainly in the UK, Spain and Thailand. He now leads a somewhat quieter life in his wife's remote, northern farming village writing, editing and increasing the number of translations, and narrations of his novels.
As he says: "Born in the Land of Song, living in the Land of Smiles".
