FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UNITED KINGDOM –2,600 Feet Per Second is a fast and furious thriller that finds protagonist and former-royal marine sniper, Chris Beem, reacquainted with the fallout of actions that happened almost forty years prior during the Falklands War.

An impressive tale of revenge, the kidnapping of Chris’s wife and daughter, and his outsmarting its female baddie, 2,600 Feet Per Second also finds the author using to full and dramatic effect everything he learnt and experienced during his ten years serving in the Royal Marines.

And whilst writing a novel that garners consistent five-star reviews is an accomplishment in itself, this author’s determination to overcome his debilitating dyslexia and to put on paper the novel that formed in his head whilst training for a marathon back in 2008, further adds to its appeal.

A page turner for all, this novel’s short sentences and compact chapters, also make it a standout literary choice for fellow dyslexia sufferers.

Synopsis:

Chris is a web designer who has a happy, comfortable life in Lincoln with his wife and daughter. However, when he comes across a rucksack full of money on his morning run, his life is quickly turned upside down. Chris's former life as a military sniper comes back to haunt him thanks to a mysterious, vengeful enemy, bent on destroying his life. Along with the money, the mastermind has left him photos of six regular, unconnected people, and a list - the Kill List. Can Chris keep up with the demands of this invisible, unhinged revenant from his past? Even better, can he beat her at her own game? With the stakes higher than ever, Chris "Laser" Beem must step back into his long-forgotten past, enlist the help of some old friends, and do whatever it takes to save his family and get his life back - even if it means murder.

Garnering praise from all that pick up a copy, Amazon reader five-star reviews include:

“What a tremendous debut novel. I Certainly recommended for readers of action-adventure stories. The pace is fast. The technical details fascinating. The humanity also comes through. Enough surprises to keep you engaged throughout, and with a punchline few will see coming. I’d be surprised if this wasn’t picked up by Amazon Prime or Netflix. Bring on the sequel.” – Stephen May

“This debut novel by Nick Love is a triumph, it is a fast-pacedaction-packed thriller, which has many twists and turns but also has a splash of humour throughout, it was a highly enjoyable read, which gets you gripped from the first page, I will definitely be recommending.” - Elizabeth

“I’ve just finished this book & I'm killing time till the second one comes out. Its fast paced, has plot twists & is a complete page turner. I can highly recommend.” - theste

“Dyslexic author Nick Love’s debut novel follows the life of Chris ‘Laser’ Beem, an ex-Royal Marine sniper whose happy family life is turned upside down as his military past catches up with him in dramatic style.

The story unfolds as Chris struggles to protect his family while he executes a grizzly series of assignments, set for him by a ruthless foreign pursuer whose motive is initially a mystery. The wealthy heiress uses Beem’s finely tuned military skills to carry out her decades-old vendetta against an apparently unconnected group of people, most of whom appear to live a relatively normal existence in the UK.

As the plot unfolds, the identity of the heiress and her connection to Beem becomes apparent, as does the ugly connection between her victims. The novel’s twists and turns keep the reader on the edge of their seat, right through to an exciting climax, which leaves the door open for the planned sequel, due for release later in 2023.

The book is a heart-thumping roller-coaster of a novel, made real thanks to the author’s own military experience as a Royal Marine Commando in the 1970s and 80s.

It is all the more remarkable, as the work of a ‘Profoundly Dyslexic’ author whose determination to write and successfully launch the novel will be an inspiration to others whose self-belief has been impacted by Dyslexia.” –Jezzer

Due mainly to Nick almost debilitating dyslexia he for many years believed it would not be possible.That was until in 2008 whilst training for the London Marathon a story formed in his head and stuck there, so he started to slowly capture the mental images created during those long and lonely runs. Nick eventually finished the novel and with the help of ‘Jericho Writers’ who had it expertly edited, the book has now been professionally published by Olympia Publishers.
