Shadow is under a month away from release, and I’m excited to see the next Marc Dane novel in the hands of my readers – but before that, I’m bringing you the second chapter of Rough Air, a new and exclusive short story!

In “Turbulence” – part one of Rough Air – private security operative Marc Dane and his hacker colleague Assim Kader were shadowing Mateo Garza, a former money man for a vicious Colombian drug cartel; but when Garza unexpectedly boarded an international flight from Bogotá to Dallas, Marc had no choice but to follow this quarry…

In part two, Marc is caught in the middle of a violent hijacking when cartel assassins take over the plane; with no weapons or equipment, only Marc’s ability to adapt and improvise will keep him alive…

My next Marc Dane thriller Shadow hits bookstores at the end of May, but before that I’m giving away a free serialized short story to all my readers, and the first chapter goes live today!

In the aftermath of the events of Ghost, former MI6 field technician turned private security contractor Marc Dane is on an undercover surveillance mission for the Rubicon Corporation’s Special Conditions Division – his assignment is to track Mateo Garza, a man with a key connection to La Noche, a brutal South American drug cartel.

It’s meant to be a low-threat assignment – but when Marc’s quarry boards an international flight from Bogotá to Dallas, things quickly spiral out of control!

Trapped on an airliner with murderous assassins, a lethal mystery and no weapons or equipment, only Marc’s ability to adapt and improvise will keep him alive. Fasten your seatbelt; Rough Air ahead…

Rough Air will be serialized into five parts, and you can find Part One: “Turbulence” right Here.

The second chapter of Rough Air will be available for download a week from now; in the meantime, feel free to post your thoughts about part one on Twitter, Facebook or any other social media using the #DaneOnAPlane hashtag! I look forward to hearing what you think!

And don’t forget, you can sign up to my Reader’s Club mailing list (details at the bottom of this page) and get each chapter of Rough Air a day earlier than everyone else, emailed directly to your inbox.

The clock is ticking down to the release of my next action thriller Shadow – but before we get there, as a thank-you to my readers for all the support and something free for people new to the series , from this Friday I’ll be posting chapters of Rough Air – a brand new Marc Dane serial short story!

Rough Air is set between the events of Ghost and Shadow, following Marc Dane as he uses his wits in a tense stand-off against a group of hijackers on board an airliner. I did some interesting research into what you might use to stop a mid-air takeover, given all you get on a commercial flight is plastic cutlery… You’ll have to read the story to find out what I came up with for Marc!

Rough Air will be serialized in five parts, and made available as downloadable pdf files which you’ll be able to find Here.

Check back on Friday for Part One – “Turbulence” – or if you can’t wait that long, sign up to my Reader’s Club mailing list (details at the bottom of this page) and get each chapter of Rough Air a day earlier than everyone else, emailed directly to your inbox…
