Michael Terence Publishing Releases "Rifles, Rebels and Rockets: Blood in Africa

The book, set in the Central African Republic, follows the story of four battle-scarred veterans, Matty Fox and his comrades, who are recruited by an American oil company to undertake an exploration mission in a region marked by civil war and lawlessness.

The veterans, who thought they had survived the worst of Afghanistan, find themselves in a new and treacherous environment. A case of mistaken identity draws their mission into the crossfire of the ongoing conflict. They are relentlessly pursued by anti-government rebels, and the team soon finds themselves in a brutal fight for survival, facing unimaginable violence and the unforgiving jungle.

Cut off from rescue and relying solely on their training, the team must rely on each other to navigate the dangerous landscape. The novel delves into the psychological depths of the characters under extreme pressure, drawing on Ellis's diverse professional background, which includes military operations, corporate security, and emergency response.

Steve Ellis, born and raised in Lincolnshire, has always been drawn to stories of grit, determination, and the human spirit in the face of adversity. His debut novel, "Bullets, Bandits and Bombs," showcased his ability to weave intense, fast-paced narratives with complex, believable characters.

The book is published by Michael Terence Publishing, a UK-founded hybrid publishing house and literary agency. Founded to give worthy authors a platform, the company promotes their success through online and traditional channels.
