Roger Cave | 47 comments Background
Alec Fincham is his Governments man of last resort, and these days he seems to be always busy. As professional soldier in the Special Boat Service (similar to a US Navy SEAL), he’s a highly trained killer. At heart he is a soldier, honourable and proud, but in modern times, his skills are needed by M.I.6. when there is no one else to turn to.

Fincham and his small team have to fight many a battle through the entire series of the books, which see him travel the globe. The adventures are set in the US, Sicily, Rome, Egypt, Australia, Singapore, Bahrain, Afghanistan and Iraq amongst many others.

Synopsis
Fincham is sent to Kazan to buy diamonds on behalf of British Intelligence. However, he is not the only interested party, as it’s more than diamonds everyone is willing to kill for. Not knowing who to trust, he takes on some unlikely allies and must fight to survive. If that was not enough, the FSB are also interested in speaking to Fincham...

She's dangerous. She's leathal. And she's after the same thing he is

Roger Cave | 47 comments Yep, it's there, Feliks, and a kindly soul from from the US has also read and reviewed it.

Sorry for the late response, not been around much recently, work's keeping me busy, and I'm 45,000 words into the next in the series!

Roger Cave | 47 comments Hi all
At the moment I'm having to study for an exam, so the writing is taking a bit of a back seat. Fincham will return though, in Accelerated Dragon.

In the meantime, here's what Fincham is all about, and a list of the books in order (although they don't have to be read that way).

Alec Fincham is part of the SBS, he’s based out of Poole in Dorset. His missions have taken him to America (Florida), Egypt, Australia, Singapore, Afghanistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Sicily and Italy, Crete, Ukraine, Libya, Oman, Abu Dhabi, Venezuela and Germany.

Due to his military record, Fincham is seconded to the Special Operation Department of M.I.6. as a man of last resort. Although he is part of the Special Boat Service, he takes his orders from Sir Charles Cunningham at Vauxhall Cross.

He, and his team, have been selected to take on terrorists, drugs and arms dealers, mercenaries seeking revenge, and pirates.

They travel the world, and they are constantly in danger. They place their lives on the line, so that we may lead a better way of life.

The books are action\adventure based, with a little investigation, espionage, and combat thrown in. The reviews have been positive, so if the sound like your thing, then give them a try. You can also ask questions around the books and I'll attempt to answer them.

And the books, of course (£1.00/$1.00 and up).

The Barcza Gambit
Sicilian Defence
White King
Zugzwang
Octopus Knight
Medusa Defence
Deep Blue
Grand Prix Variation
Queen's Knight
Snake Variation
Torre Attack
Monticelli Trap
Torre Attack
Red Queen

Mongoose Variation
Lion's Jaw

Thanks all for taking the time to read

This book (these books) still do not turn up properly in searches, I'm sorry to say....

I should be able to type 'Alec Fincham' or 'Alec Fincham #' or 'Alec Fincham #13' and get an immediate hit. It does not occur that way, I swear.

In the past few minutes I was hard put to discover even vaguely what title is #13; only this forum post of Roger's helps me grasp the sequence. The books listed in the Fincham series page do not list any #13!

Just a tip. This is a task for a Goodreads librarian....
