Scar Tissue is the explosive debut thriller from Ollie Ollerton, former Special Forces soldier and star of SAS: Who Dares Wins, launching the Alex Abbott series. Ex-Special Forces soldier Alex Abbott has escaped the Middle East under a cloud and now scrapes a living in Singapore as a gun for hire, estranged from his family and haunted by the ghosts of his past. When a new, dangerous path looms, Abbott must confront old sins he thought he'd buried. Authentic and gripping, this is thriller writing from someone who has lived it.. About the Book. Every battle leaves its mark. That's the idea driving Scar Tissue, the first novel in Ollie Ollerton's Alex Abbott series. Alex Abbott is a former Special Forces operative whose career ended in disgrace in the Middle East. Now based in Singapore, he survives as hired muscle, drowning his regrets in drink while the people who once mattered most remain at arm's length. Life on the margins is tolerable — at least he's not back in Baghdad — until a new job draws him into danger that forces old wounds back to the surface.. What sets Scar Tissue apart is the authenticity Ollerton brings to every page. Having served with the Royal Marines and Special Boat Service before working as a private security contractor in Iraq, Ollerton writes combat, tradecraft and the psychological toll of violence with precision only genuine experience can deliver. The result is a tightly plotted, fast-moving thriller that never loses sight of its central character's humanity — a man trying to outrun his past while the past keeps catching up. Fans of hard-edged, morally complex military thrillers will find a compelling new voice and a series worth following from the very first book.. Debut fiction from a No.1 Sunday Times bestselling non-fiction author. Authentic Special Forces detail from a genuine ex-operative. Fast-paced, twisting plot set across Singapore and the Middle East. First book in the ongoing Alex Abbott series. Ideal gift for thriller and military fiction fans. Brand new paperback, perfect for shelf or gift-giving. About the Author.
