The Hong Kong Series

"…What an incredible book. You see the news, but in this story, you learn a lot about the human side…."   Young Australian ex-pat Jacob Watson has it all: a high-paying job managing a property portfolio for one of Hong Kong's tycoons, access to the city's elite, and a life of luxury.   But as protests against Chinese interference in Hong Kong escalate, Jacob's world is turned upside down.   Will he continue to prioritize his career and wealth, or risk it all to join the fight for democracy in the city he now calls home?   This action-packed and enthralling thriller from author Mark David Abbott will keep you on the edge of your seat as Jacob navigates the dangerous political landscape of Hong Kong.   Book 1 in The Hong Kong Trilogy.   Praise for Mark David Abbott "The author puts the reader in a situation that a common person could realistically find themselves in... The reader, therefore, finds himself immersed in the story rather than experiencing the story as an un-involved by-stander." "The author is an exceptional story teller which has become a rarity these days."

What do you do when two million people hate your guts?   Sergeant Andy Wong, of Hong Kong's famed Police Tactical Unit (PTU), Bravo Company is an honourable man who loves his job. When the people of Hong Kong take to the streets to voice their displeasure against government policies, it's Andy and his fellow colleagues who are tasked with maintaining law and order and putting an end to the riots and disruption that begin to plague the city.   But after months of constant duty, days and nights on the streets enduring verbal and physical abuse from the public, ostracised by his friends,  and a deteriorating relationship with his family, the cracks begin to show.    When the lines between truth and falsehood, good and bad, become  increasingly blurred, and faced with a wife who barely speaks to him, and a daughter he never sees, Andy becomes increasingly conflicted.   Who really are the bad guys?   Where should his loyalty lie?   Who is helping the rioters disappear from right under the noses of the PTU patrols?   WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS SERIES:   ★★★★★ A very thrilling read.
