Ruthless but principled mercenaries Mike Randle and Suzie Drake, back from their last hazardous commando mission in Africa, realise it’s almost time to give up their lethal profession. The pressures of the job, and their own budding intimacy towards each other, lead them to reappraise their lives and careers. But a job half finished is a job undone, and when the despot known only as The General kidnaps Suzie, transporting her back to his jungle hideout in a bid to regain his stash of foreign millions, the skills of both protagonists, as well as MI6, Special Branch and Interpol, are called upon to meet his threat. Written in a dynamic, punchy style, with dashes of humour and suspense in equal measures, Time to Act follows in the best traditions of the action-thriller genre.
