So I watch the author on tiktok and always liked his videos when I stumbled onto the fact he wrote a book , I thought to myself “why don’t I give it a try he seems like a sound lad “ boy was I glad I did it gripped me from chapter one and I even started feeling like I knew the characters myself ( although I didn’t ) although I don’t condone breaking the law in any way this guy opened my eyes into the pressures surrounding such crimes , and if you haven’t watched this guy on tiktok u should go over he’s great and very informative when giving answers to related questions viewers ask him , back to the book , if you want a good read , a true story from a likeable person this is the book for you ! Upon leaving the British Army he found himself directionless and became heavily involved in organised crime. I met Rich through voluntary work at HMP Oakwood and was interested to read the book to find out more about what had led him there. leaving the forces left a huge void in Rich’s life and subconsciously he begins to fill the void with a number of things, this included his role in the security industry but that didn’t satisfy his need to be a part of something.

Active duty triggered something in Rich and he felt that his risk taking behaviour was being satisfied when he was always in the line of fire. Rich gained promotion soon after, but life in the army especially in Germany was beginning to change. Rich’s transition out of the army was going wrong and he gradually moved away from the security industry and begin to apply the same skills set and training to his new life, distributing drugs.Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.
