Dusty Boots to Boardroom; follow your dreams
Life is short-so why not follow your dreams? After years of building separate careers, Catherine and I were drifting apart. The solution? A bold leap into the unknown: a journey deep into the wild heart of Africa. What followed was a journey of reconnection, challenge, and discovery. From unexpected detours to transformative encounters, this is the true story of how an African adventure reshaped our relationship, our perspectives, and ultimately, our lives. This is a tale of one couple's long drive home. This is more than a travel memoir, taking the slow, less driven road, it's an invitation to embark on your own adventure and emulate our journey. We capture the true voice of Africa, those making the continent work. Unexpectantly, we also bumped into the 'great and the good'; Hollywood actors and environmentalist, the odd mercenary and past warriors.What does one do after a military career? The book reflects on how the military mind adapts to the Boardroom.After 35,248 km on a single slow puncture (two Land Rovers, a few clutches and a bent steering rod), they arrive home in England, wiser, closer and more assured. They will not be the last, nor were they the first African adventurers, for very single journey is unique. Go find yourselves!

Bunyan-ul-Marsoos
In Bunyan-ul-Marsoos: Pakistan's Silent Thunder, witness the gripping, behind-the-scenes chronicle of a military counteroffensive that shook South Asia and redefined modern strategic warfare. When tragedy struck in Pahalgam and India launched provocative missile strikes on Pakistani airbases in 2025, the region teetered on the edge of all-out war. But Pakistan's response wasn't chaos-it was calculation.This powerful, real-world thriller explores the origins, execution, and aftermath of Operation Bunyan-ul-Marsoos-a meticulously coordinated mission symbolizing unity, precision, and divine resolve. Drawing its name from a Quranic term meaning "a wall of steel," the operation showcases how Pakistan combined air power, cyber warfare, and military intelligence to deliver a message of unshakable deterrence.From high-level briefings at GHQ Rawalpindi to the roar of fighter jets striking key Indian installations, the book lays bare the psychological, political, and spiritual dimensions of the operation. This is not just a story of missiles and military might-it's a testament to faith-driven discipline, strategic restraint, and the enduring spirit of a nation under fire.For readers of military history, political thrillers, and current affairs, Bunyan-ul-Marsoos is a must-read exploration of how silence became thunder-and how one nation turned provocation into purpose.
