Reseña del libro "Bittersweet Sacrifice (en Inglés)"
Neil Curland is a former soldier. His time in the British army served, Neil has returned from the globetrotting lifestyle courtesy of Her Majesty's forces, and is now working as an advertising executive for a local West Country newspaper group. It's a far cry from the excitement of his former life, but the hours are regular and the money gives him the opportunity to indulge his passion; custom motorcycles. Neil is a lifelong biker, most weekends would see him riding some completely impractical creation across counties and countries to indulge in serious partying with likeminded individuals. With nothing too taxing on the horizon and money in the bank, Neil is kicking back and enjoying an Indian summer heat wave when the worst storm in three hundred years throws the Country and his world into a post-apocalyptic turmoil. Caught up in his own personal hell, Neil finds himself unceremoniously dumped at the feet of the exotic Natasha. The attraction is instantaneous; you could cut through the sexual tension with a knife. What begins as a passionate labour of lust soon migrates into a deeper, darker erotic attraction, but Natasha comes with a dangerous past which just won't lie down and die! Brian Dix is a mercenary, a terrorist for hire. On the payroll of the Provisional IRA, Brian's mission is to develop links with his traveller kinsmen; to sell Libyan weapons to outlaw gangs and organisations on mainland UK with the ultimate goal of undermining and bringing down the British government. It's a tall order for the psychotic Dix, and he can't concentrate on the bigger picture when things are not right at home. An archetypal 'rolling stone', Dix is a man of few possessions, if he considers something belongs to him, God help the man who tries to take it from him! When the deranged Dix kidnaps Natasha's child, Neil is forced to re-visit his former life in the armed forces, bringing together a motley crew of ex-servicemen as a task force, with the skills to challenge the Provo's at the height of the 'troubles'. The natural wit of the 'Squaddie biker' brings a level of 'graveyard' humour to what is otherwise a deadly serious situation. Obsession, passion and erotic brinkmanship weave a convoluted path between misunderstanding and coincidence. Cruel twists of fate see the couple separated by customs, religion and continents as their lives and loves veer off in opposite directions. Will they ever see each other again? What does fate have in store for Neil and Natasha? Be careful what you wish for!
