A nation under attack. Treason stalks the corridors of power. Can Harry Hawkins turn the tide? Harry Hawkins has finally found peace in the bosom of his new family. A loving wife and a new son have given him the contentment he has sought for so long. But then he wakes up one morning to find chaos spreading through the streets of Britain. From warzone-like football matches to terrorist bombs, from … football matches to terrorist bombs, from large-scale prison breakouts to inexplicable mass street fighting. With fake news dominating the media and the authorities struggling to connect the dots H realizes that his domestic idyll is over.
He receives information from a security service whistleblower that key players within the British establishment have been corrupted by those behind the chaos, and are involved in supporting their activities and aims – whatever they may be.
As the mounting chaos threatens to pull the country apart H comes to understand that he and his colleagues are in uncharted waters; no one in authority can be trusted and all usual channels of communication are subject to surveillance by Britain’s enemies. Can H, and the off-the-radar people’s army he puts together, identify the source of the chaos, shut down its operations and help restore order before a climactic outrage brings Britain to its knees?
If you like gritty, high-octane novels with terrific twists you’ll love Bloody Liberties – let it take you on a thrilling rollercoaster ride through a contemporary world of violent criminality, technological chaos, political intrigue and everyday heroism.

London Large, Blood on the Streets #1 – A well written, action filled, suspense novel set in present day London. The multiple battles of old school vs. new police, Russian and Albanian mafias, and the elites of government. The pace is fast and the reader is intrigued by what is on the pages. I couldn’t put the book down. I contacted the authors to review their books after reading Tipping Point, the intro of the old school raising of several of the major characters. Tipping Point should be read first, if possible. 5*
London Large, Bound by Blood #2 – A well written, action filled, suspense novel set, in present day London, that picks up from Blood on the Streets a few months later with the same characters plus. The prime focus is still the continuing battle against the Albanian mafia. I couldn’t put this book down any more than I did the first book. I contacted the authors to review their books after reading Tipping Point, the intro the old school raising of several of the major characters. Tipping Point should be read first, if possible. 5*
London Large, Bloody Liberties #3- Blood and thunder, to borrow a British phrase. A well written, action packed, suspense filled novel that grabs the reader by the throat and doesn’t let go until the end. Then you think about what you’ve read. I couldn’t put the book down; I was immersed in the horror that is so possible today. Good old fashion soldiering, new technology and human perseverance; the combination making a great read. The twisting plot was well thought out and believable; the dialog realistic; and the technology spot on. If you haven’t read the prequel and the first two books, you need to do so. Liberties can be read without them, but they enhance the story and you understand the viewpoints of the characters better. 5*
London Large, American Lockdown #4 – Absolutely the best of this good series. Fast paced; action packed; suspense filled; evil and deadly. It’s even harder to put this book down, the others were difficult to stop reading, but this one makes the others look like child’s play. Every character is well developed and we have the gang from previous books. The plot is a roller coaster ride of horror, hate, revenge, anger and love. Full of emotions: simmering to full blown; you name it, it’s covered. How much can H take? I wonder what the next book will be since it will be difficult to top this one, but I’m sure the Robson Brothers can handle it. This is a 10 star book! 5*

Also, there’s some information in this book that is mentioned in the first book and causes confusion for the reader that hadn’t read TP. The other books have background about how H develops his feelings, good and bad, of the people, good and bad, in his life and work. Also, his mates are featured. Good background stories. 5*
