As far back as anyone can remember Guy has been an introverted creature, with an insatiable appetite for knowledge, and a sardonic sense of humour.
Throughout a childhood in London spent watching cold war propaganda gems such as He Man, an adolescence confined in various institutions, and a career that has encompassed stints in academic research and the sports industry, Guy has been a keen if somewhat cynical social observer.
Humour of the sardonic variety is a recurring theme in Guy's writing. His first novel, Charles Middleworth, is an insightful tale of the unexpected. Like the author, the protagonist in Necropolis and Sepultura is a darkly humorous individual – though, unlike the author, he is a sociopath. His latest effort, Tomorrow's World, is a satirical book of vignettes about the future.
Trouble has a habit of finding some people.
Kitchenhand Deron thinks he's hit the jackpot when a routine delivery of vegetables turns out to be contraband. Unfortunately, it belongs to somebody else. And they want it back.
Financier Hamish has got involved in the arms trade and business is booming. However, over in Yemen he's made a formidable foe. One who will stop at nothing for revenge.
Solicitor Ken is fed up with the nine-to-five. An illegal venture with girlfriend Laura brings the job satisfaction he craves, but also attention from organised crime. This could all go horribly wrong.
All three men are in over their heads. If they don't find a solution fast, it could be the end of them.
