Hostile Takeover - Drayson Takes On His First Mission In Angola

DORKING, U.K. - Aug. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- George Alexander today announced the publication of Into the Abyss: Hostile Takeover - the  first in a new series of geopolitical action thrillers about Alex Drayson, a former Special Forces Commando turned arms dealer and mercenary. When Drayson meets the charismatic Angolan opposition leader, Adrien Savitundo, he agrees to help him execute a military coup. Drayson is quickly drawn into an operation that will change his life forever, taking on the mysterious Chinese interests that prop up the Angolan regime. It soon becomes apparent that in Savitundo's dark world of corruption and competing power politics nobody can be trusted, and nowhere is safe. 

 

"Hostile Takeover was great fun to write, and I hope it will be a joy to read," said George Alexander, "In Drayson I've created an anti-hero who is both despicable and impressive.  The things he does are appalling, but the reader wants him to win the day in the end.  Hostile Takeover will appeal to anyone who loves a good story, but particularly to those with an interest in Africa, geopolitics, and the international arms trade."

 

Into the Abyss: Hostile Takeover is set in the Surrey Hills, Pimlico, Angola, and the South China Sea.  It is  available to download for Kindle, iPad, Kobo, Nook etc. from Smashwords at https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/342821.
