No Safe Ground

Inspired by true events, No Safe Ground follows Matt 'Johno' Johnson. Once among the best—an elite British Special Forces operator, now a close-protection contractor. He is haunted by an ambush in Afghanistan that killed three of his men. Isolated and battling PTSD and guilt, he feels a sense of unfinished duty.

After a deadly encounter with the Zeta cartel in Central America, Johno escapes and takes a job in Northern Iraq, searching for redemption. The task: protect, extract, move on, should be simple. But in Iraq, nothing is ever straightforward.

In a world where every ally could be an enemy and every mission a trap, Johno is forced to confront his greatest battle yet, his own conscience. With enemies on every side, is he the protector, the pawn or the hunted? He must decide what kind of man he wants to be: a survivor, a soldier, or an avenger.

A visceral, gripping cinematic thriller of modern warfare and moral reckoning. Set amid the rise of ISIS, the book exposes the covert war waged in the grey zones between nations, faith, and power.

This is one man's desperate fight to reclaim his life in a world where redemption may prove deadlier than any enemy. In a terrain of secrets and scars, Johno faces one truth: there is no safe ground.
