Can LeRoy succeed in the ultimate test of survival long enough to uncover the face of man’s cruellest ever enemy.Author Note:For the benefit of my awesome fans across the pond, this novel is written in UK English and may include a few colloquialisms and spellings that you don’t recognise. There is, understandably considering the circumstances, a bit of swearing involved. We do swear a bit in England, just put it down to eccentricity, or maybe our spirited Anglo-Saxon heritage.Another unusual trait of the Brits, is to use humour in stressful situations. Just ask anyone who’s been on active service with the British Armed Forces. It helps to keep one sane!Now you’re all prepared, I hope you enjoy the stories.Cheers for nowNick Adams
