Ex-Special Forces soldier Johnny Vince has won many battles, mentally and physically on and off the battlefield. But now, haunted and suppressed by the demons of the past, the 'black dogs' have found their victim: Johnny Vince.
Not able to escape his PTSD, alcohol abuse, violence, self-harm, and detaching from society, he has ended up on the edge of life.
Volatile at his lowest point, a light at the end of the tunnel is presented. With the emotional mission to save a friend in a similar circumstance, a few of the old crew decide to help him. But why? With Johnny's emotional sensory overload, who can he trust? Is Johnny the 'rogue' that many want bagged.
With an extremely painful outcome, Johnny has to re-set, literally to the beginning. The plan is set. But, knowing trouble follows Johnny...

Inspired in 2013 by his favourite author, Damien Lewis, Richard Joyce began to write his first of the Johnny Vince series. Right from the first book, Operation Blue Halo, he continues to finely blend historical facts and events, combined with raw emotion, suspense, and unexpected twists.
When not writing, researching, and editing in his 'man shed', Richard enjoys time with his wife and dog on beach walks; oh, and a sneaky beer. As well as raising funds for charitable affairs that are connected to his writing, he is now busy typing away for a new book, away from the Johnny Vince series.
