WASTED RESOURCE

Blurb

Four former soldiers, who are brought together by fate, realise their military skills have become a wasted resource. They form as a team, utilising their specialist skills to steal a vast sum of money, previously recovered by the police and guarded by the RAF Regiment. The task is initially deemed impossible, but a stroke of luck changes this. Two illegal immigrants on the run from their own country, enter the UK via the Channel Tunnel. They plan the same heist without knowledge of the other team, carrying out a raid on one of two heavily guarded security vans. The money is stolen, leaving one group empty handed and pursuing the other; resulting in kidnapping, torture and death.

Adapting to civvy street is by no means easy for any soldier. This novel highlights many of the difficulties that former soldiers are faced with. Additionally, it highlights the waste of specialist skills that could be used to the detriment of society, whereas they would be better utilised if they were redirected to help protect and strengthen the security of the nation.
