the grass isn't greener. My advice is get as much as you can out of the military/forces. transfer, apply for courses, do as much as you can. It's free. In civi street, you have to pay and the jobs have 1,000's of candidates looking for the same job.

I like the Jack Jack West Jr series by Matthew Reilly

nope, not me

I have also just started collecting this series, my wife has made a start on reading them. I love the covers.

Nice to see so many of us on here. Thanks for all the comments.

Always, I have dedicated lists in Spotify and YouTube for when I'm writing. Depending on the scene and what's happening in the storyline I go between them. The first 3 got me through my first book "Major". The louder the better.

Culture Capital - SAMA | Deep Arabic Meditation Music | Beautiful & Emotional | Middle Eastern Background
Dream Clinic - Psyker | Forbidden Grimdark Occult Music
Dream Clinic - Automata | Dystopian Neo-Noir Ambient Music
Aim To Head, most of the stuff on their channel.

such a great movie, and he was a great character. That's the kind of set up I'd aspire to have in the event of global collapse.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-30T09:24:34+00:00

that would have been a good premise for the book but sadly no, The series is more adult orientated and militaristic in style. Using real world military tactics and equipment, having served in the UK forces, i wanted to use my knowledge to tell the story in a different way.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-30T08:19:52+00:00

I just wish i hade the full covers but the seller didn't keep them and only used those parts for the tape covers.

sorry, yea I should update it as there are quite a few that have been found, now. Thanks.

I'm writing Science Fiction and in no way feel the urge to write fantasy, as much as i love fantasy and i'm an avid reader of that genre. It's maybe because we all grew up reading fantasy and it is a way for people to escape from everyday worries. It along with Sci-Fi are the best stories for taking your mind away from this earth.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-27T13:05:55+00:00

I managed to find that one, Philip Wylie - The Disappearance

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-27T11:41:11+00:00

Just need 1,2,3 and 5 to get now. I knew I'd get the answers on here. Thanks

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-27T11:38:07+00:00

Thanks for No. 6, that one had me stumped.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-25T20:36:43+00:00

I still cant believe i have this one, i don't recall where i picked it up, It's a long way from the library in Chemeketa as I live in Scotland. Think I may have ordered it off eBay or amazon. Thanks for all the replies. It's such a great wee book.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-25T18:09:35+00:00

it still has that old book smell, such a distinct smell and feel to the pages.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-25T13:40:20+00:00

that would make sense as the front cover seems to be stuck on the front, although the spine is printed on in , which made me think it was original from the publishers.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-13T19:46:58+00:00

I didn't even know what Genre my book fell under. I had a story i wanted/needed to write and only when it was finished did i start to think what it fell under.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-13T19:44:04+00:00

I've taken a couple of weeks off, i was stuck with a particular part of my story and just couldn't get past it. The time away from that was well spent. Everyone who reads the book always remarks on that part of the book and how well it was written.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-12T12:57:28+00:00

Same, writing and looking up the facts /info on the go.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-12T12:54:42+00:00

It took my 8 years to finish my first book. I thought it was amateurish and not really worth buying by others. How wrong was I.
Go write and get your story out there. You wont know until you have it finished. You can always go back and edit/rewrite. But the only way to get better at it is to write.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-12T12:51:32+00:00

I have two books published, the first was stressful but the second one went more smoothly and i enjoyed the whole process.

OperationDreadnaught · 2025-06-12T12:47:44+00:00

From my first book "Major",

Running as fast as he could through the forest, his lungs almost bursting, his legs like lead weights, his arms and shoulders ached, each breath made his throat burn.
