Andy McNab has lived his books, if not in exact locations or time then in his past through similar actions, training and locales.

I find it hard to put these books down as Jack, for all his Quirks and brutality, is a modern day hero! ... (continue)

A true romance through time. Audrey takes us on the journey of two people, two lovers, seemingly from different times but born only a few years apart. It is magical and tragic, thought provoking, funny, graphic, surreal. I honestly loved this and could not put it down. :)
