Fighting for The French Foreign Legion

Fighting for the French Foreign Legion is an honest attempt at explaining what led me to taking the monumental step of becoming a Legionnaire at the tender young age of thirty eight. o My story takes you.through the strict selection process and training, to my 11 years with.the Legion 2nd Parachute Regiment based in Corsica.

During this time I saw active service in Africa, Iraq and Bosnia.

Hopefully my story will appeal to the huge demand for anything about life in the.Legion, but it is also an insight into the security problems we face today worldwide..

The book is published by Pen & Sword Books (ISBN: 978 1 84844 085 0) and is available in all.good bookshops. o I have been told by my publisher that the book is now in reprint because of the demand. o You can buy a copy via this link to Amazon now. You will see that the Amazon price is going down as order numbers rise. i i If you would like to buy a signed copy, .please contact me by email at alex@troon-promotions.com (Subject: Book), or by phone on.01292 311855 or call in at A Journey Through Time, 51 Ayr Street, Troon and place an order.

Below is the cover design for my first novel which I have just finished writing. o It is bang (excuse the pun) up to date with the events of todays world.ll Although 100% fiction, I have drawn on my years of police and military service to write something that I hope you will find not only exciting and a bit scary, but also a good read. o It should give you something to think about in relation to how we are all manipulated by politicians and the press to suit their own needs.

It is being proof read at the moment and I hope that it will find its way into print shortly. ii I now have the writers bug and have just started writing book No. 2 called 'The Real Cost of Terror'.

I have been encouraged to start writing novels with a 'real' background, by the encouraging comments I have recieved from those of you who have read my autobiography. ii All I can say is thank you and I hope that you won't be disappointed.

Comments about any of my books, good or bad, are always welcome and can be made by sending me an email at: alex@troon-promotions.com
