Storm Force

Matt Bradley, former street gang teen, now a tough operator with an elite mountain rescue team.

His wife Amanda vanishes in plain sight. There are no clues, no obvious motive.

With the team leader stranded in a plane crash, he must lose his emotions and focus.

His mission to find her pits him against criminal thugs working with a shadowy offshore network of killers.

Where is she and why was she targeted?

To save her, he must ‘fly blind’ against the clock in steep, remote wilderness.

Drew Baton is 56, born and raised in New Zealand and lives in Auckland with his wife/partner of 25 years. He trained as a commercial pilot and instructor but found his true calling as the owner of a tourism business looking after international visitors. He is an avid reader and enjoys writing, travelling, and physical fitness. In his earlier years, a 21-day Outward Bound experience led into hiking, alpine training, search and rescue stints in New Zealand with further hiking offshore. These pursuits served as the inspiration for his first thriller, Storm Force.
