Dear Readers
Please could you help me with some honest feedback for a new writer who is about to present to a big publisher. There are 5 synopsises below, are the stories engaging, would you read the sleeve and say I d like to read this book, or share your advice on how we can make it better!
01 - Chase
Henri Chase, a soldier, presumed killed in action returns from the dead only to find his world has been turned upside down.
His wife is dead, committed suicide and his daughter had disappeared into the fostering system. Several years after the search for his daughter began she is killed in a tragic accident. All hope of reclaiming anything from the wreckage of his old life are gone, forever.
Five years on, the demons still plague his every waking moment, but in those dark years an urban legend was born.
A man, a predator, a killer was hunting. His Domain, the streets of London. His prey, the thieves, drug dealers, rapists, murderers and anyone else reaping rewards from ill gotten gains or preying on the helpless. But in these violent acts of punishment he was becoming what he hunted, what he hated.
Fate is about give him second chance, redemption and a opportunity to turn his back on the road he had taken.
Following an alcohol and drug fuelled assault on a drug deal, Chase drops his guard and is picked up by an unknown security team lead by a man from is past.
The options were simple - be tried for his crimes, which would ultimately mean lifetime imprisonment or full cooperation in hunting down a pending threat on London.
Through hallucinations, dreams, and memories we will learn of Chase's time in the army, his wife and daughter. We will meet the Good man who still hides in the shadows of his own mind.

04 - After Hours
'Good morning Malibu. Some of you good people are at home with loved ones, some of you are working the night shift walking the beat in the Bay Area or hauling a heavy load long distance outta state. It's midnight thirty, I'm Jamie Davenport, here with you til the sun comes up or the radio goes down'
Her father, a ex Private Investigator, her mother a revered lawyer.
Jamie was destined to be a voice of the people, a rebellious young journalist who just can't turn a blind eye.
Join Jamie's journey in setting the world to rights in her own irrepressible way.
Aided by a father who isn't ready to hang up his hat and a mother who does know best.
No subject too tough, no law unchallenged, no door she won't kick down.
Stepping out from behind the mic, Jamie deals head on with real life and the dark side of today's society.
She'll be with you 'til the sun comes up or the radio goes down.
05 - Tunnel Rats
"Non gratin anus roddentum" - Not worth a rats ass. US 25th Infantry motto.
Private Jonathan 'Cookie' Lewis faced a battle far greater than any challenge he'd endured during the Vietnam war.
Traumatised by a disastrous mission that resulted in fatal injuries and life changing wounds to the 25th Infantry.
How could he go back? back into the darkness, the damp claustrophobic tunnels that just took three more of his friends.
Cookie Lewis had to fight every natural urge to run, if they knew he'd lost his nerve he'd be out on the next transport home.
This was not an option. He was part of the regiment and wouldn't turn his back on them.
They may not mean a rats ass to the rest of the army, but to each other they were brothers.
The brotherhood of war is stronger than life itself.
The story of one mans journey serving in a special team of Infantrymen, the unsung heroes of the Vietnam war, The Tunnel Rats.
