This story will I hope, encourage some of you to follow in my footsteps.

From Professional Artist, to Police Officer, to Legionnaire and back to Artist.

Fighting with The French Foreign Legion is an honest attempt at explaining what led me to taking the monumental step of becoming a Legionnaire at the tender age of thirty eight. It takes you through the strict selection process where the chances of making it are only one in fifty.

Every successful volunteer has to follow the same arduous path, endure the same physical pain while being pushed to their limit and beyond.

You will accompany me through my voyage of discovery. o Join me in the ceremony 'La Remise de la Kepi' when I actually become a Legionnaire.

After basic training and having chosen to join the Second Parachute Regiment based in Corsica, you will accompany me through parachute training, my commando course and everyday life in the Regiment.

Explore the joys of Saharian Africa and southwards into the heart of the tropical rain forets of The Republic of Central Africa to meet the Pigmys. o You will visit places that no tourist has ever been to. o Face the reality of real warfare, the excitement of battle and the realization that everything is not as clear cut as it first seems. o From Africa to the Gulf to Sarajevo

This is also a story of suffering on a huge scale and how the unique multi-national, multi-cultural composition of The French Foreign Legion plays an important role in the ever increasing demands of UN peace keeping missions.

Below is the cover design for a new book I have just completed and is in the process of being proof read. It is bang (excuse the pun) up to date with the events of todays world and although 100% fiction, I have drawn on my years of police and military service to write something that I hope you will find not only exciting, scary and a good read, but will give you something to think about.

I now have to find a publisher as Pen & Sword who published my autobiography don't publish fiction. So, if any of you are in the business, please give me a call.

Now that I have finished my first novel I have started the sequel. o It is called THE REAL PRICE OF TERROR and follows on from where I left off in DEADLY BLACK RAIN. o I am well into it and have designed the jacket cover (See below). o Doing this helps me get my head into the story. o Comments about any of my books, good or bad, are always welcome and can be made by sending me an email at: alex@troon-promotions.com
