The Return

Introducing Paul Stanton SAS. The year is 1985 and down in Bandit County Sean Mullins and his IRA killers have a foolproof plan and the firepower to start a minor war. Dead soldiers and destruction are what they’ve been ordered to deliver and Stanton’s men are the target. Thus begins a story of betrayal and revenge set within the murky politics of Anglo-Irish relations of the time. Given an impossible task Stanton embarks on a manhunt that takes him through the killing grounds of Ulster and into the South of Ireland. Finally in the dark Goth underworld of Berlin’s Wall Zone he delivers the Return his Government his men and his honour demand.
