ABOUT

Roger was born in Tenby, South Wales. He admits to running wild at the expense of his education before he joined up and served for twenty four years in the British Army where they took him in hand. His Army service took him to Germany, Cyprus with the United Nations, Belize (Central America) and also included  various posts in the UK. He served for a further six years in the Territorial Army in various units and cap badges. In the Army his much neglected education was put back on track and he is forever grateful for the amazing training that they provided and the opportunities that opened up for him because of the underpinning knowledge that the Army gave him.

His first four years in the ranks of the Royal Corps of Signals were as an Electronics Technician. His one regret is that only by only serving for four years in the Ranks and not the qualifying six he is ineligible for a place with the Chelsea Pensioners.  He was commissioned into the Royal Ordnance Corps and qualifed ‘Pi’ as a Specialist Fuels officer and held various appointments before leaving to  join the oil and gas industry.

He spent seventeen years in the oil and gas industry as a company’s Senior Operations Manager before setting up his own consultancy. Roger became a consultant to a British government Agency and to City and Guilds. As a consultant compliance inspector and trouble shooter he worked for various organisations in  conflict zones including Russia, the Nigerian Delta, Equitorial Guinea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kosovo and  Azerbijan. As an Joint Guidelines Inspector he was able to give back some of the knowledge acquired over a lifetime of service.

His passion is art and he uses his paintings for the covers of the books he writes. His great regret is he was never able to go to art school – it just wasn’t an option in his time. He now lives quietly in Hampshire.

SPYMASTER ADAGIO

ebook cover_book 1.jpg

Paperback 978-1-83563-033-4

Hardback 978-1-83563-252-9

eBook 978-1-83563-229-1

Fast moving soldier spy story with complex plots, chasing down a device that could open the NATO battle computer to the KGB. From the British Minister serving the KGB to a beautiful Russian lady assassin with links to the highest echelons of Moscow society, the story takes us from South Africa to Moscow and London and on to Central America and back. A flashback story in the middle of the book “The Cyprus Affair” gives rise to the vendetta by Brigadier Tsygankov of the KGB against Major Brown (ex SAS) who is now part of the British Secret Services.

 “Reviewed by Journeyman on Format: Paperback, there is a clear protagonist and nemesis, and the animosity between them is explained and developed throughout the story. Sets the stage for a good sequel as well. A good relaxing read on a flight, on the train to work or on holiday. Anyone who likes the 007 Bond series or novels by John La Carre such as "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" will enjoy this.”

The fourth book in the Major Rodney Brown series sees a changing of the guard with General Tsygankov withdrawing in retirement to his dacha and a looming shake up in the KGB which will soon lead to its resurrection as the FSB. This volume is predicated on the findings of Colonel Jimmy, the ‘compliance man from hell’ as far as his enemy is concerned. The plot involves long running, all pervading frauds perpetrated and driven by the KGB, supported by its agents in the UK government service and persons holding controlling positions in the construction, Defence and National Health services. The Prime Minister Majorette Thatcher wants revenge. Rodney Brown, recovering from his wounds, is recalled by Brigadier Robinson and once again leads his team in a race against time to recover the stolen money for the Prime Minister who fears for her future and finds that Britain is not alone.  Rodney Brown’s notoriety leads the KGB in a blind fury to remove him permanently, culminating in a showdown in a safe house in the country.
