A novel by

 
 
From the author of The Harrogate Crime Series. ('Bridging the Gulf' was previously published as 'Engulfed' as an eBook.) This fast moving, thought-provoking thriller is set partly in the stunning beauty and history of Turkish Cyprus. The novel follows one man's struggle against faceless bureaucrats bent on negating the existence of Gulf War Syndrome. Roy Hanna is a driven man. On his return from the Gulf War, in which he was injured and his comrades killed, he appears to be a successful salesman with everything he could want. Behind his facade, he believes he is suffering from Gulf War Syndrome and that the Government is carrying out a massive cover-up. The lives of countless sufferers lie in ruins. He is determined that the Government should pay and he embarks on a bombing spree to ensure that it does.

Imagine joining the Army to fight for Queen and country and then find the Gulf War turns your world upside down. Welcome to Roy Hanna's world, where we are drawn into his life of anger and betrayal. I found myself lost in his lonely and bitter mind. Descriptive writing that makes you feel as though you are there with Roy, whether it's in the Gulf War, U.K or Cyprus. Malcolm Hollingdrake has written a powerful, emotive and thought-provoking book with PTSD at its root.
