A military thriller with a sting in the tail ending . A tense thriller held together with a passionate love story.
A diverse group of people set up a community in the Highlands of Scotland. Two of their boys enjoy a friendship whilst wandering the mountains and canoeing the rivers. This all came to an abrupt halt when an act of extreme violence results in one of the young men going to prison and being radicalised by militant Islamists. His friend goes to university and thence is commissioned into the Parachute Regiment. The two young me next meet in the inhospitable Helmand Province in Afghanistan. Their journey become a complex dance of death via Iraq, Syria, and culminates in a massive terrorist attack in London. This is also a powerful story of love and faith where lessons learnt in their boyhood community becomes the roadmap for a country. It takes a female voice to complete this thrilling but important story that may give rise to thoughts of how we all might enjoy a democracy without politicians or political parties. Very much a story for today.

The Demon Dispatches

By R. J. Perryment

When a discarded laptop is recovered from a Ghanaian e-waste dump, a series of chilling emails is discovered — messages between two demons chronicling the chaos of the modern world. From pandemics and protests to artificial intelligence and global war, these infernal “dispatches” reveal how division, fear, and confusion have become Hell’s most effective tools.

Told with razor-sharp wit and unsettling realism, The Demon Dispatches is a darkly comic, deeply moral satire in the tradition of C. S. Lewis’s The Screwtape Letters — reimagined for the digital age. Both terrifying and illuminating, it reminds readers that even in an age of corruption and noise, the light still shines in the darkness.
