Fight Through

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I have had a lot of help and encouragement in writing this series, in particular with this, the third part of the series. Retired bomber pilots, snipers, SFX experts, current helicopter pilots, a glamour model, serving and retired coppers, ex-servicemen and a former company commander turned banker.

Oddly, suggestions for a fifth and sixth book have been trickling in, and you do not even know how the story ends. I may be reluctant to write out the appearance of last minute characters such as moody teenage daylight walking vampires, and good looking vegetarian High School zombies. You know how trendy I am!

My thanks go to my Father Ted Farman and Andy Croy for editing. Andy and I both served in the Wessex Regiment in the 1980’s, but we never met. To my niece Helena Brackley for research on Guiana and the European Space Agency. To Bill Rowlinson, Nick Gill, Tracey Elvik, Tobi Shear-Smith, Maxine Shear-Smith, Ray Tester, Steve Enever, Stuart Galloway and Chris Cullen for test reading; proof reading, advice on how to shoot, stab, blow stuff up and still show a well turned ankle. To my cousin David Farman, currently the only practicing Biggles with a current instrument rating in the family. I hope he settles into his new role of ‘Gentleman Pilot’ with ease, and a little élan. Thank you for the technical advice of the CH47 Chinook.

Finally, but by no means least, to Haydee Velasco Flores for generously offering to lower her professional fee in order to translate the books into Spanish. It is on my wish list Haydee.
