    About this ebook

    Hellfire Series: Episode 1 of Book #1: A Whisper of Armageddon

    Hold onto something, you're in for a wild ride!

    If you like your thrillers at breakneck pace with great characters and a hint of humor, then you're going to love the Hellfire Series.

    Harry Thorne and Ethan Gill are heroes — both warriors with a knack for getting themselves into trouble — and taking their friends with them.

    Harry is recovering from being shot in the ass while saving a kid in Afghanistan, he thinks his career as a marine sniper is over.

    He’s wrong. US Marine Master Sergeant Ethan Gill won't let the Brit sit in the sun just because of a itsy-bitsy AK round in the butt, not when all hell is breaking loose over London.

    The US President has arrived in London and so have three former KGB snipers and a terrorist on a deadly mission. So Harry teams up with Ethan - two Marines from opposite sides of the world take on snipers, terrorists, insurgents, and just plain crooks!

    So begins a heart-thumping sniper battle over the rooftops of London with the lives of thousands at stake.

      EPISODE 1 

      It was barely dawn, but it was mid-August in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, and the temperature was already climbing towards sweltering. Harry Thorne took a sip of water from his flask and wiped a trickle of sweat off his eyebrow. He didn’t need to be in this dump, his father was a wealthy barrister, so he could have had a privileged upbringing and a cushy life, but he hadn’t, he’d fought authority all his young life and bounced from one school to the next until he’d burned out his welcome. Which made his decision to join the marines all the more surprising, but it had been the making of him. He’d been a fat kid, but now at twenty-eight he was as fit and lean as a marathon runner and tanned to mahogany by the desert sun. The same blazing sun that had put thin streaks of white in his dark brown hair and given his hazel eyes squint wrinkles that would have driven a vain person nuts, but bothered him not at all. With his light frame and lack of height, he could have been a jockey — except he couldn’t ride. His build was ideal for his chosen profession of sniper, where a light frame and compact height meant he could get into firing positions that a bigger man would have to pass up for second best. But his wiry build and lack of inches wasn’t the only reason he was an expert in his trade; it was the punishing training, the constant practice, and his God-given talent, for which he was eternally ungrateful.

      He took off his non-regulation camouflaged boonie hat and wiped the sweat off his brow, even though it would be replaced within a few minutes. He’d been watching the compound for four hours and was getting really sick of the view, the bugs, the discomfort, and the whole bloody thing. This had all the hallmarks of a total standard-issue screw-up.

      The spooks had received a tip-off from the locals that this dump was being used by the Taliban for some nefarious purpose — bomb making, training, or some shit like that. So here goes 3
