Keep your eye on this author, he's going to be a big name in thrillers before long." - Matt Hilton (author of the Joe Hunter thriller series) During the fall of the Soviet Union an elite team of operatives were trained on the steppes of Russia. Loyal to the Provisional Irish Republican Army, they were created for a single purpose; to bring about the downfall of the entire British government in one terrifying attack. They were known only by their codename, Black Shuck. In the years that followed—betrayed from within by the internal power struggles of the IRA—the team members were hunted down. Forced into a battle for their lives, three survived, fading into the turbulent streets of Northern Ireland. To this day, their identities remain a mystery— but nothing can stay hidden forever. ---------- Patriots & Tyrants is a suspense laden, action filled collection of stories featuring characters from the upcoming Black Shuck thriller series that follows former IRA volunteer turned American patriot, Declan McIver.
