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?

Having read 'Fishers of Men' when it was first published, I was intrigued to read this 'update'. I can honestly say that I was not disappointed, it's a brilliant read. Rob's writing is easily digestible and he definitely has a knack of keeping it simple whilst immersing the reader in the storyline. Would recommend.

Covering the authors career from leaving the British Army, this book covers the author working the "circuit" in both close protection and private investigation. It also covers him running a business in shipping protection on the coast of Somalia.
A really enjoyable read, written in a very relaxed style which always left you wanting more.
It would have been nice to have a date on different parts of his career and a little more detail on some of the operations but those points are very minor.
Thoroughly recommended, I am going to check out the authors first book now!
