I do love the feel of a book in my hands.
There is something wonderfully intimate about shutting out the world and journeying into a story.
To say that I have a lot of books in my abode would be to commit crimes against understatements.
For me, those are real books and I love all of them.
However, I cannot envisage a situation where I would willingly head to the airport without my Kindle on-board.
For this digital immigrant, the idea that I can travel with a small device that can contain hundreds of books is a wonder to me.
When The Squad was published in June I was asked when a Kindle version would be available.
I didn’t know the answer to that as my publisher had not taken that decision.
The rise of the E-Book has not meant the end of physical books.
However, the portability of digital books stored on a Kindle or similar device is hard to argue with.
Consequently, I’m happy to announce that The Squad is now available on Kindle.
You will see that the advert on the bottom of this page has a link which will take you to Amazon.
The print edition is available in Ireland from Waterstones.
In Scotland, it can be purchased from Waterstones and WHS.
A signed copy of The Squad is available direct from the publisher and a link is at the bottom of this page.
The feedback on The Squad has been excellent so far.
WHS have it as their book of the month.
Of course, some psychic reviewers miraculously appeared on Amazon when the book was still being printed. The Squad was available for pre-order and hence a review could be posted.
These literary types were unanimous in their condemnation of a book that they could not have read at that point!
However, dear reader, I’m sure that you’re more rational about such matters.
If you buy The Squad in any format I do hope that you will enjoy the journey.
Hi Phil,
I read the book on Holiday and thought it was excellent. I have also posted a review on Amazon.
The negative reviews are clearly written by individuals, still in the denial stage of grief and hurting badly. ?
Deary me, they say we are obsessed.
Many thanks.
I’m glad that you enjoyed The Squad.
Cheers Phil, that’s me got my holiday reads, Voices from the grave, and the squad. Is the squad a follow on of any of your other books. P.S have you ever visited Dunree on your travels through Donegal.
Many thanks.
No, The Squad is a novel.
Fort Dunree is very atmospheric.
I know the area well.
Phil, I ordered a copy for myself and my father.
There seems to be aproblem on the Amazon side and they’re saying they haven’t been able to get them.
Can you help?
You can contact the publisher directly.

dying for amazon to get some copies in bought with fathers day gift card and still awaiting on them restocking
Digital media is indeed a wondrous thing – however, I consistently encounter problems when attempting to wipe my arse with the online versions of both the Daily Record, and the Evening Times.

Agree comments regarding physical books but use Kindle when travelling. I follow George R R Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire. Last volume would have taken up my luggage allowance with Ryanair! Have read Kindle version of your book. An excellent read and engrossing story well fleshed out. Didn’t see the 747 crash coming, a surprise ending. ? Can see why booksellers would make it book of month!
Thanks Alan,no point in buying the book now eh?
There is no such event in the book.
Alan must be confused.
I think that’s why he put a smiley face after that remark. 🙂
Thanks John, must stop trying to be clever/amusing. For avoidance of doubt this is not a spoiler and is not even remotely near the ending. Buy the book, you will enjoy it!
That’s how he never saw the crash coming, Phil… you can’t see what’s not there. ?
Thank God you didn’t conduct a film review of Titanic. I reckon you’d spoil the ending. ?
Cheers Phil, that’s me got my holiday reads, Voices from the grave, and the squad. Is the squad a follow on of any of your other books. P.S have you ever visited Dunree on your travels through Donegal.
