Author's Note

Seven people stand between a dictator and complete totalitarianism. Amongst these are:
John November, a master strategist with a habit of rolling his eyes.
Nathan Bravo, a sniper with an almost world-destroying sense of cynicism that earned him the nickname of 'Twat'.
Mickey Tango, a self-loving moron with a talent for rocket launchers and lightning-sheaths.
Stuart Kilo, the medic, the army veteran and the man who is most done with everyone's shit.
Vivian Foxtrot, the scout who shows her affections by beating her friends up and finds it difficult to be humble.
Adam Sierra, the all-rounder who has been described as 'socially acceptable to make fun of'.
Louise G, a presumed woman who sits behind a computer screen with a packet of crisps giving the group their contracts.
Our dictator, Phillip Loxley, is a man who loves men and women alike, loves to drink, but loves complete and utter power and obedience even more.
Now, you'd think that these seven unique people would have somewhat of an advantage over the dictator since they're seen as the best in their field. This may be true if they weren't constantly making fun of each other, beating each other up and just generally irritating John. Saving Britain may not be quite as easy as they'd have liked...
A lot of swearing in this book but no explicit sexual content. Also a lot of fighting, but that's hardly a bad thing, right? It's not finished and it's still being revised but I'm hoping the book will be finished by the summer. Half done already so who knows? I'm open to constructive criticism and praise (who isn't?) and even if it's just a review saying "Hey, that bit has a mistake/that bit sounds cool..." I would really freaking love it.

Sounds promising - I like the humour embedded in this along with the genre-thrills!
