I enjoyed researching and writing this book. It involves a rarely covered topic - military deserters - and I wanted to bring in an aspect of the modern military that not many of us give much thought to: the fact that many serving personnel are very skilled, highly trained and educated, and carry a great deal of valuable information in their heads, which certain enemies would pay highly for. It was this fact that gave me a fresh new angle for Harry's story, while remaining very topical (and keeping him focussed on catching up with Paulton - although you'll have to read the book to find out if he does that or not!) I hope it makes for as a good a read as it was fun to write! **
