about me

Originally, from Glasgow, Scotland, my business career enabled me to travel extensively internationally over many years, especially in Europe, Russia, the countries of the former Soviet Union and the Middle East.
Have lived in Saudi Arabia, the British Virgin Islands, Spain and the Czech Republic. Now I live in Xàbia, Spain.

I am not a fan of the paranormal, vampires, science fiction, preferring thrillers, historical novels. novels set in other cultures (a big fan of Japanese authors).

Nemesis in Spain

George J. Thomas

A thriller inspired by the burst of the property bubble in Spain. The Russian mafia seek revenge on the criminal property developers involved.


Alexei a retired Russian Spetsnaz officer has developed a lucrative career in contract killing. A fluent Spanish speaker, after military service in Cuba, the St. Petersburg mafia hire him to recover investment funds stolen by a Spanish property developer and corrupt Town Hall officials.
An unexpected meeting in Andorra with a member of an ETA terrorist group, whom he instructed in bomb making, during an earlier assignment in Spain, provides Alexei with a willing accomplice in his ventures. The relationship develops into a romantic partnership in crime.
After recovering 9 million euros from the Spanish developer in Andorra and eliminating him, Alexei turns his attention to Spain and the funds stolen by the Town Hall officials.
The FSB interrupt Alexei’s plans, pressuring him to carry out an unofficial assassination in Mallorca on behalf of the Russian government.
The armed attack on a Chechen Mafia run “girlie” club with the help of ETA commandos does not go quite to plan, leaving Alexei wounded. The Guardia Civil are slowly closing their net on the perpetrator of the murder in Andorra, the destruction of the Russian mafia villa in Mallorca, and the attack on the nightclub.

 

Nemesis in Asia

George J. Thomas

Plucked from his carefree life in the Caribbean, Alexei searches the fleshpots of Bangkok to infiltrate the illegal arms trade.


Continuing from Nemesis in Spain, Alexei Guliyev, a retired Spetsnaz officer has a new assignment taking him to Thailand and Cambodia to infiltrate the organization of an international weapons trafficker. The challenges of tracking down arms caches in jungle-covered temples in remote areas of Angor Wat; facing up to the still fanatical remnants of Khmer Rouge fighters guarding the weapons, winning their trust and helping them in sorties against Myanmar army groups, gives a fascinating insight into the remote and dangerous world of the illegal arms trade in south east Asia.
