The rain came down like a baptism, washing the dust and blood from Sergeant First Class John “Jo” North’s hands. He knelt in the mud of a foreign land, the acrid smoke of a burning Toyota Hilux stinging his eyes.
The fire painted the night in shades of hellish orange. In the back of the truck, four men lay still. Bad men. The kind who beheaded aid workers and sold children.
Jo wasn’t thinking about them. His world had narrowed to the man in front of him.
Captain Marcus Thorne lay on his back, his breath coming in wet, ragged gasps. A piece of shrapnel from the IED they’d tripped had found the gap between his body armour and his hip. Jo had his field dressing pressed against the wound, his other hand gripping Marcus’s shoulder.
“Stay with me, Captain,” Jo said, his voice a low growl over the drumming rain. “That’s an order.”
Mike Nomads, an ugly divorcee middle-aged adventurer navigating the treacherous waters of family law, spending his days wrestling with legal briefs, his weekends bicycling and mountain climbing and his nights wrestling with existential dread in the form of action-packed short stories. His protagonists, thankfully fictional, never file for alimony and always manage to escape explosive situations with a witty one-liner and a perfectly timed headbutt.
