They are loaded with nonstop intrigue, espionage, elite Special Forces technology, suspense and plot twisting action. A thrilling read, with real-life parallels and possibilities to chew on.
Black Operations involves activities that are highly clandestine and often outside of the standard intelligence/military protocols. It involves a significant degree of deception, to conceal who is behind it or to make it appear that some other entity is entirely responsible.
Welcome to the world of VIPER, a Secret Elite Black Operations Squad. A closely guarded British Secret and handed down from one Prime Minister to the next. Operations are sanctioned only by the serving British PM, through the Commander of Viper.
Equally gripping, his new The Dark Side crime novels turn the spotlight on retired Detective Inspector Bob Cox, a man torn between law and justice, navigating the razor’s edge where morality blurs. Bob has always been on the right side of the law, but now he crosses the line and turns to the dark side of life.
Teaming up with a very old and close friend, he set out to take the law into his own hands. But it doesn’t stop there; he now has a taste of the other side of the thin blue line. With the expert knowledge of police procedures, forensics, surveillance techniques and his life experiences he decides to target other individuals who have evaded the law.
Injustices dealt out in the name of political correctness, human rights, and the law of the land feature very strongly in Bob’s world now. The gloves are off and without fear, hesitation or compromise he is going to right some wrongs.
Across every genre he touches, David Baker delivers a trademark blend of rigorous research, relentless pacing, and characters driven by courage, loyalty, and the heavy weight of consequence — stories that demand to be devoured.
But David’s storytelling doesn’t stop at the battlefield or the crime scene. He is also the creative force behind the much-loved Midge the Mouse, which are heartfelt children’s stories originally spun as bedtime adventures for his two daughters, later brought to life on the page with illustrations. These 7 books are a work in progress because of pressure from his now grown-up daughters and will be coming shortly.
