Deadlock

A modern military action thriller that instantly pulls you into the authors mind. Modern warfare doesn't get more realistic than this.

The scene is set, everyone is positioned, like coiled springs they wait to strike. But the question is, who is now the hunter, and who the prey?

As a nation is threatened to be overwhelmed by the aggressive pursuits of another, its population fight for its very survival, its defence left to those willing to take a stand. Not for King or country, nor for vanity or thoughts of glory or fame. But for friends, family, and the very place they call home.

Join us in the next exciting instalment of the Operation Fools Mate series, as we follow our characters as some desperately try to fight their way home, others try to save theirs from destruction and some try to keep the country from collapse.

Remember heroes walk amongst us, but they are not born, they are made by those that love them…

M L Baldwin is a former Tank Commander who joined the Second Royal Tank Regiment in 1996 and served with them on operations in Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan over a 19 year career. He was Mentioned in Despatches (MiD) during his last tour of Afghanistan. After leaving the forces he decided to try his hand at becoming an author, which is where you join him now in his journey. Inspired by the likes of Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy, he wrote his debut series of books for Operation Fools Mate back in 2023 which he hopes people will enjoy reading as much as he enjoyed writing them. Using his own first hand experiences of life on the front line of combat operations, he hopes to bring a level of realism and excitement that will both shock and excite his readers. After all, the modern battlefield is full of technology but ultimately, it's the human element and a certain degree of luck that play its part the most. His expertise in his field have garnered widespread acclaim and featured interviews on BBC Radio, whilst his articles in leading publications such as The European, NationalWorld, MSN, the Daily Star (UK), The London Economic and others, have helped solidify his reputation as a sought-after authority in the field. Keep watching for more exciting titles. In his own words, "I'm not finished yet, I'm only just getting started."
