DEAD MAN'S ANCHOR
A Danny Stretton SAS / Black Ops Thriller - Book 1
By 'Foxtrot' Oscar Dunn

Danny Stretton should have died nine years ago.

A veteran of the 22nd SAS, Stretton survived an operation in Afghanistan that destroyed his unit and supposedly cost his best friend, Steve Parker, his life. Since then, Danny has existed in the margins - functioning, drinking just enough to steady the shakes, waiting for something to end.

Instead, something begins.

When a UK terror plot is traced back to stolen British military explosives, Danny is pulled into one last deniable operation. The trail leads to Poland, to a shadowy arms dealer, and to evidence that shouldn't exist - proof that the British government may be complicit in selling its own weapons back into the black market.

Then the mission collapses.

Branded a traitor, hunted by elite operators, and cut loose by the same system he served for nearly two decades, Danny is forced into a brutal truth: he was never meant to come home. The job wasn't about stopping terrorism - it was about burying a mistake.

And Danny Stretton is the mistake.

As the net tightens and former allies are ordered to kill him, Danny uncovers a conspiracy that reaches from Whitehall into the private war economy of American PMCs. But the most devastating discovery is personal - because the past he's been drinking to forget may have been built on a lie.

A lie that turns his survival into a declaration of war.

Officially dead and operating off the books, Danny becomes a ghost - injured, hunted, and more dangerous than ever. What follows is a relentless fight through Europe's underworld, elite black ops units, and the moral rot of modern intelligence warfare.

This is not a story about saving the world.
It's about what happens when the world decides you're expendable.

WHAT READERS CAN EXPECT
