You’ll be kept guessing to the very last page!
As the son of an MI6 operative, former officer in Britain's elite Parachute Regiment, pilot, yachtsman, race car driver and world traveller AFN Clarke brings his own unique and eye-opening experiences to this novel.
Authors Note:
The Orange Moon Affair is dedicated to Terry Forrestal, ex-SAS and brother-in-arms, may he rest in peace. He was a fine soldier yet had that streak of larrikin in him, so I think he'd like this book and the character, challenges and exploits of Thomas Gunn.
Book length: 256 pages.
