Covert Ops: Danger On The Island

Danger on the island

Beneath the Isle of Wight’s calm, stolen military tech ignites chaos. Steve Barker leads a covert veteran team into an island underworld of arms dealers, traffickers, and smugglers. Betrayals multiply as recovery becomes war: relentless suspense, covert tradecraft, brutal combat, tense interrogations, and high-stakes extractions drive a ruthless, twist-loaded mission.

Covert Ops: Danger On The Island

Echoes of Waterloo

Dragged from Salisbury Plain into Waterloo’s inferno, my covert team fights to survive without rewriting history. Disguised among riflemen, we steal intelligence, ambush cavalry, and shadow Wellington’s lines—haunted by paradox, hunted by enemies, and tempted to intervene. Honour, restraint, and ruthless precision decide whether we return—or become ghosts for good.
