Description

Like No Other Soldier continues the true story told in Fishers of Men of Rob Lewis's life after he leaves the Force Research Unit (FRU).

Staying on in Northern Ireland as a civilian after years of working on undercover missions against terrorists, Rob eventually gains employment in Bristol, undertaking security work, but things don't work out and Rob ends up living in a squat.

After a job offer from an old colleague, Rob heads to London to work in close-protection security for some of Hollywood's royalty - Tom Cruise, Liam Neeson, Nicole Kidman and Mel Gibson among them - and later becomes involved in the rescue of some very well-connected people from a dangerous religious cult. Rob's life seems to be getting back on track.

But Rob's work soon becomes more covert, and he ends up being on the wrong side of a police armed response unit whilst undertaking surveillance tasks, and is later arrested as a suspect when the 'Stevens Enquiry' building in Belfast - where detectives investigating the alleged collusion between his old unit and Loyalist paramilitaries are based - is set on fire.

As Rob becomes involved in ever more shadowy surveillance and private security operations, he attracts further unwanted police attention, this time from the Serious Organised Crime Agency, and he is charged with fraud, found guilty and sentenced to prison at HMP Wandsworth. Can Rob prove his innocence and reclaim his life?



About the Author

Rob Lewis was born and brought up in the South Wales mining valleys and decided to join the army at sixteen, and thereafter carried out tours of duty in Germany, Northern Ireland and Cyprus. Rob volunteered for Special Duties and after passing the arduous selection process was deployed to Northern Ireland as a covert surveillance operator. Sometime later, Rob again undertook a formidable selection and was employed as an agent handler carrying out sensitive human source handling operations in the border region of Fermanagh. After leaving the forces Rob has worked in the security and investigation industry. Rob Lewis is the author of Fishers of Men (John Blake, 2017), the gripping true story of an undercover agent in Northern Ireland.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
