At the end of July 1981, world heads of state gathered in London for the wedding of Price Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. Among those present was President Jawara of the Gambia, whose absence was exploited by Marxist rebels to overthrow him. Rightly fearing armed intervention from neighbouring Senegal, the new revolutionary council seized hostages including one of the President s wives and several of his children and emptied the prisons in a desperate search for allies in the coming struggle. In the first couple of days, as opposing factions of the Gambian police force wrestled for control, many of the released prisoners succumbed to the temptation to settle old scores, and almost two thousand Gambians lost their lives. In tourist beach hotels several hundred Europeans waited and feared the worst.Only one group of men was considered capable of stabilising the situation the legendary Special Air Service the SAS So, at Jawara s request, three men of SAS 22 Regiment were sent into this cauldron, supposedly to advise the President and his Senegalese allies. But within days, circumstances and the men s bravado turned them into the spearhead of the counter-revolution, heavily embroiled in both the pursuit of heavily armed criminals and the dangerously delicate business of rescuing hostages."Soldier N SAS: The Gambian Bluff "is the electrifying story of how, against all the odds, these three highly skilled soldiers defeated the rebels and restored President Jawara to power."

East Africa, 1975. The dictator Idi Amin's reign of terror in Uganda is faltering. In a bid to pacify his increasingly mutinous army, he attacks neighbouring Tanzania.

As British sovereignty over Hong Kong entered its final years, the prime concern of the colonial administration was to effect a smooth transition of power to China. But for the Triads, whose ruthlessness ensured their supremacy in the colony's thriving underworld, it was business as usual. Every night, crammed with contraband, their powerboats continued to run the gauntlet of police and Royal Marine patrols. For Sergeant Des Cooper of the Special Boat Squadron, a trip to Hong Kong offered a chance to revisit places he had got to know many years earlier. He jumped at the opportunity to accompany an anti-smuggling patrol, but during a search of a vessel he uncovered a cargo far less predictable than the electrical goods that were usually seized. Suddenly the spectre of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists looked menacingly real. Cooper and his highly trained team would risk their lives in their bid to crush a plot that threatened not only Hong Kong but the entire globe. This is classic military fiction at its best.

In Cold War parlance, the British government liked to think of it as a counter intelligence mission. To the Russians it would be seen as an act of international piracy. In an operation cloaked in secrecy, the elite men of the legendary Special Boat Squadron were to go up against the most sophisticated and hi-tech surveillance systems the Russian Navy possessed with only some crude, hastily-built wind-powered craft at their disposal. Little did they know that things were about to go terribly wrong. Marine D SBS: Windswept sees the SBS put to the ultimate test, with all their tactical prowess and monumental daring required to rescue the situation. There would be no second chances as failure could see the volatile Middle East blasted into all-out war. This is classic military fiction at its best.

Summer 1994, the Bahamas: an English doctor working at a clinic in the Turks and Caicos Islands suddenly disappeared, leaving only one trace – a fast-fading smell of chloroform in his bedroom. A week later, in nearby Florida, another man was found shot dead in his car, apparently the latest in a long line of European tourists murdered on the highways of the Sunshine State. US police found one link – Cuban gangster and British citizen Fidel Arcilla. At once the British government was invited by Washington to put its Caribbean house in order, and they in turn called on the Marines of the legendary Special Boat Service. Battling South American drug lords, Haitian generals, Cuban exiles and the Miami underworld, these elite soldiers would stop at nothing to achieve their objectives.

In the aftermath of the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940, Roger 'Jumbo' Pountney is ordered to form and train a small group of canoeists. Taking as his paddler and second-in-command Lieutenant Philip Ayton of the Royal Marines, they command a body of men, known as No.1 Special Boat Section, who are as ruthless and independent as any that fought in World War II.
