Underworld

Underworld is the violent and controversial story of how SAS Sergeant Michael ‘Mike’ Burton, two trusted friends, and a single, remarkable woman, Theresa, infiltrate the mean streets of Belfast. Here, with a combination of high technology and human courage, they embark on the ‘neutralisation’ of the most dangerous gangsters in that crime-ridden city.

'A high-octane mixture… the SAS, the IRA and organised crime are the explosive ingredients of Shaun Clarke's latest thriller. Forget the subtitles - Clarke grabs you by the throat in the opening pages and refuses to let go.'

-Yorkshire Evening Post

“A rich and dangerous brew…”

-Dorset Evening Echo

“Clarke builds up the tension superbly, with smatterings of often chilling violence…”

-Hartlepool Mail

“Well observed, sharply written… this is heart-pumping stuff…”

-Birmingham Post

“What the real SAS thinks of this is anybody’s guess, but Shaun Clarke’s violent thriller, Underworld, might well make them feel uncomfortable… [It] ticks away like a time-bomb.”

-Birmingham Sunday Mercury

 

 

Red Hand

'In Underworld, his previous novel, Shaun Clarke presented us with a picture of the IRA gangs who since the cease-fire have turned to crime for easy money. Red Hand is the balancing act, the story of corrupt Protestants who come under Clarke's searing scrutiny. Little wonder that he brings to life so evocatively the suffering of a city.'

-Newcastle Journal

“An intelligent thriller with a tight, contemporary plot and credible characters.”

-South Wales Argus

“A hard-as-nails yarn about Belfast in 1999… With Ulster’s problems so often on our TV screens, the subject and setting of this novel won’t appeal to all, but I found it compelling stuff.”

-Manchester Evening News

“Mayhem and carnage make it a high octane, heart-pumping read.”

-Paisley Daily Express

 


Operation Millennium

Britain is in the grip of Millennium fever. The disenfranchised, disillusioned, die-hard remains of society's forgotten dream are up in arms, with the fearful megalomaniac, Prince, as their leader. After planting several bombs in key London locations, their next target is Buckingham Palace - and the Royal Family! So a Quick Reaction Force (QRF), led by SAS Sergeant Lenny Cusack, is called in to prevent this atrocity from taking place. But time is running out… Operation Millennium is the first SAS novel to place the Regiment in a cyberwar setting - and it grips with a basilik menace.

“Portrays a Britain in the grip of social breakdown, with religious and other fanatics intent on destroying society… A convincing and very readable thriller.”

-Manchester Evening News
