The explosive debut novel from Ollie Ollerton
Launching a blistering new thriller series starring ex-special forces soldier Alex Abbott.
Set in 2003, just after the fall of Baghdad, Scar Tissue is filled with detail drawn from Ollie’s own experiences gained as an SBS soldier on the frontlines and subsequently working as a gun-for-hire in the white-heat of the Middle East. Scar Tissue, available now, introduces the world to a new kind of hero Alex Abbott, an ex-special forces soldier whose troubled past is about to catch up with him.
‘When I first started talking about my life, I realized how many stories I had to tell. For me it was the natural next step to use these as the basis for some realistic, and hopefully entertaining fiction. Personally, I’m tired of reading about heroes who never put a foot wrong, and always have the perfect quip. That’s why I came up with Alex Abbott.
Here is a man I think we can all relate to. He’s not perfect, he makes mistakes, but he’s trying to be a better person. I’ve spent my post-military life trying to help others. I hope that I can continue to do so by telling stories of resilience, struggle and personal transformation, this time in fiction form.’
