As for the writing style – well I felt the dialogue was clunky, lacked fluidity and read like some bad acting scenes with many disjointed short sentences.

Middleton's autobiography, First Man In: Leading from the Front, was published in 2018, becoming a Number 1 Sunday Times best-seller.

This is the second of Ant Middleton's "Mallory" series and I was looking forward to this after enjoying the first ("Cold Justice"), it did not disappoint. You’ve heard his true story – now go deeper into Ant Middleton’s world with his ultra-authentic thriller series.Yes, he does sometimes edge towards the very cusp of probability, waging a one man war against some very skilled and deadly mercenaries, but the enjoyment of the story, and of Mallory as a character, meant that I was more than willing to go along with it. Starting out in television back in 2015, Ant Middleton would begin his career as a television personality, starring as the chief instructor in Channel Four reality-training show ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins. Red Mist” is the second of the Mallory series and whilst you don't need to have read the first book “Cold Justice”, you are so missing out if you don’t read it as it sets nicely Mallory’s past which goes a long way to explain this complicated character’s present. It’s full of tension and suspense and takes us in a violent and adrenaline fuelled ride which builds exponentially to a dramatic end.

Over the course of his career he has served in the Special Boat Service, the Royal Marines and 9 Parachute Squadron Royal, achieving what is known as the 'Holy Trinity' of the UK's Elite Forces. I for one am really looking forward to the third instalment of this series and hope it’s as good as the previous two. Sometimes I just want a good old fashioned action thriller to read, one that is going to keep me entertained from start to finish. Middleton was the Chief Instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins, a reality quasi-military training television programme produced by Channel 4, which was first broadcast in 2015. Mallory enjoys such a task and it’s not long before the bodies start mounting up along the way from Paris to Marseille and on to Geneva.
