Meet James Fallon, founder, and CEO of Global Solutions International. Fallon, an ex-SAS hard man turned bounty hunter for whom nothing is off limits. From sea piracy to black ops he’s up for it. Anytime. Anywhere.

From its formation in July 1941 until April 1980, most British people had never heard of the Special Air Service Regiment. Its very existence was unknown.
Then, on April 30th, terrorists seized the Iranian Embassy in London. The London police force, the Met, had no answer. The Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, handed the task to the military, and they brought in the SAS.
Five days later, on May 5th, Brits, along with 300,000,000 people around the world were entertained live on television, as the Special Air Service launched Operation Nimrod and demonstrated their prowess in a 17 minute master class take down of that siege. And everyone in the world became aware that Britain had a Special Forces unit second to none.
Then along came the historians and the biographers to spread the word about the SAS, and its feats.
And seeing a golden opportunity to exploit this, the fiction writers followed.
Having read a lot of SAS adventure thrillers, I've concluded that most writers of these novels paint a false picture of things and show little respect for the great Regiment. Their heroes are invincible bullet proof hard men, with Jack Reacher like characteristics, sent on impossible missions. And in time these formulaic novels become repetitive and boring.
This is one of the reasons I wrote "The Sum of Things". Because the SAS reality is somewhat different.
Special Air Service troopers are ordinary men who, through intensive training, are capable of extraordinary feats. Training that teaches and instils endurance and resilience. Through this they learn to dare and win and achieve their objectives.
They also get to know their limitations, and that's important.
Such a man is my protagonist, James Fallon.
So I invite you to take a step into reality, it's far more enjoyable and much more satisfying.
