Code Name Foxtrot


Book Description

Code Name Foxtrot takes place in 2004 and is the first GMJ Book in chronical order, but the 6th in the Series. Here we deal with the death of a soulmate and a man driven to take revenge for her untimely death. This is where the story really starts and much is revealed about the narrator, Geoffrey Foxtrot. We reveal why Foxtrot hates Sir John McElroy, the MI6 spymaster that we meet from time to time in the GMJ Books. We also flashback in time to when Foxtrot, then still a serving Police Special Forces Company Commander, tries to rescue his kidnapped former commanding officer, Angelique's dad, against orders. Legendary Special Forces officer, Geelslang Peter Ndebele, then a platoon leader, goes with, volunteering his platoon and the rest, as they say, is history. As we know, the rescue fails and the two officers leave the Special Forces to become Egg Breakers. Meanwhile, Angelique Dawson has lost her first husband to cancer and starts to wonder about Geoffrey Foxtrot, the man that became her preferred agent, and much later her soul and husband, ending as the Egg Breaker Ground Commander. In fact, the entire GMJ Series is about the developing love story between the deadly spymaster, Angelique Dawson and Major Geoffrey Foxtrot, protecting her. Description: Former Police Special Forces Company Commander, Major Geoffrey Foxtrot's wife, Marwa, is killed in an IED attack in Iraq. Marwa, he always knew, was a DGSE agent (the French spies) but he never knew how senior she was or what she was up to. Upon her death he learns much and is not about to take this insult lying down. He claims revenge and with the help of his South African Secret Service handler, spymaster Angelique Dawson, and his best friend, the legendary former Police Special Forces platoon leader, Geelslang Peter Ndebele, he heads for Iraq to find the killers. Angelique Dawson also has problems. Her husband dies of cancer at the same time as Marwa, and in their anguish, Foxtrot and Angelique turn towards each other for comfort. They will eventually fall in love and marry in Code Name VFO565, an enduring romance between two souls that were always meant to be. We discover the reason for Foxtrot's hatred of Sir John McElroy, the MI6 spymaster. And Foxtrot must make a difficult choice concerning revenge. Code Name Foxtrot is a tale of revenge, of a man sparing no one. Only Angelique Dawson can stop him, perhaps... If you wish to read about Covert and Special Forces Operations in sub-Saharan Africa, the GMJ Books are the place to start.

Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything


Book Description

Meet ten-year-old Lord of the Rings nerd Jason Fox and his high-school freshman sister, Paige. Jason can't believe he and his sister are both vying for front-row seats to the release of the movie. There's no denying that things will never be the same with heartthrob Orlando Bloom's involvement in Jason's favorite series. Don't forget their underachieving older brother, Peter. With three strong adolescent personalities in one household, colorful stuff often hits the fan; dad Roger usually ducks to avoid it, while mom Andy tries to keep it from staining the rug. Orlando Bloom Has Ruined Everything lampoons memorable moments from 2003 and 2004, such as the East Coast blackout. In the FoxTrot version, an "ink outage" renders several days' strips only partially drawn. "I called Funky Winkerbean. He says the ink's out over the entire grid," Jason reports. In another series of strips, Jason's latest money-making scheme involves creating an animated film to rival the box office blockbusters of Pixar and Dreamworks: "It's the tender story of a leech's search for his missing son. I'm calling it Finding Hemo. The success of FoxTrot has yielded consequences creator Bill Amend may never have imagined. The strip has been used as a question on the game show Jeopardy! and as an answer in the New York Times crossword. It's a fitting irony that FoxTrot has become a fixture of pop culture, the very phenomenon it parodies with such keen wit.
