When one of their own suffers an unspeakable tragedy in an act of terror, four lifelong friends are drawn back to a dangerous past they’ve left behind.
Leaving their civilian lives, the friends return to Northern Ireland, where they once served together in the Parachute Regiment during the Troubles, seeking justice in a land they know all too well.
At the same time, British Intelligence has been tracking suspicious movements between Northern Ireland and London, aware of an emerging threat yet unaware of the vigilante force stirring beneath the radar. While each group seeks to bring enemies of the state to justice, their paths dangerously converge, forcing a reckoning with loyalty, revenge and the price of peace. As the stakes rise, the boundaries between right and wrong blur, setting the stage for a showdown that could ignite conflict at home and beyond.
‘Adam’s military experience and research have excelled on to paper creating a story that takes you through decades of dispute and deceit in a forgotten conflict that took so many lives.’
- Matthew Hellyer, Ex 22 SAS
Adam Knights spent nine years in the Parachute Regiment, serving on multiple tours worldwide, including Northern Ireland during the Troubles. His experiences in conflict zones sparked a deep interest in the psychology of terrorism, particularly in how young men from troubled backgrounds take vastly different paths based on their surroundings and influences.
A keen amateur military historian, Adam focuses primarily on the Second World War and British Army deployments since 1945. His passion for history is matched by his commitment to understanding military strategy, leadership, and resilience, themes that often shape his writing.
After leaving the military, Adam transitioned into the healthcare industry, where he established and successfully ran his own businesses. An entrepreneur by nature, he thrives on building and leading companies while maintaining a strong connection to his military roots.
Now based in Buckinghamshire, Adam spends his time with his family and continues to support veterans' charities, ensuring that those who have served receive the help and recognition they deserve.
