About the Book

The scene is set, everyone is positioned, like coiled springs they wait to strike. But the question is, who is now the hunter, and who the prey? As a nation is threatened to be overwhelmed by the aggressive pursuits of another, its population fight for its very survival, its defence left to those willing to take a stand. Not for King or country, nor for vanity or thoughts of glory or fame. But for friends, family, and the very place they call home. Join us in the next exciting instalment of the Operation Fools Mate series, as we follow our characters as some desperately try to fight their way home, others try to save theirs from destruction, and some try to keep the country from collapse. Remember heroes walk amongst us, but they are not born, they are made by those that love them...

About the Author :
M.L Baldwin is a former Tank Commander who joined the Second Royal Tank Regiment in 1996 and served with them on operations in Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan over a 19 year career. He was awarded a Mentioned in Dispatches (MiD) during his last tour of Afghanistan. After leaving the forces he decided to try his hand at becoming an author, which is where you join him now in his journey. Inspired by the likes of Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy, he wrote his debut series of books for Operation Fools Mate back in 2023 which he hopes people will enjoy reading as much as he has enjoyed writing them. Using his own first hand experiences of life on the front line of combat operations, he hopes to bring a level of realism and excitement that will both shock and excite his readers. After all the modern battlefield is full of technology, but ultimately, it's the human element and a certain degree of luck that play its part the most. His expertise in his field have garnered widespread acclaim and featured interviews on BBC Radio, whilst his articles in leading publications such as The European, NationalWorld, MSN, the Daily Star (UK), The London Economic and others, have helped solidify his reputation as a sought-after authority in the field. Keep watching for more exciting titles. In his own words, "I'm not finished yet, I'm only just getting started."

Review :
The political undercurrent running through Deadlock is palpable. Baldwin doesn't shy away from dissecting the weakened state of British defence forces, highlighting how successive governments' meddling and mismanagement have eroded their capability. His commentary on the overreliance on the United States is unnervingly prescient, adding weight to his warnings about a precarious future that we see evolve day by day right before our eyes in 2025. Operation Fools Mate: Deadlock is a masterclass blending military realism with speculative fiction. The book's authenticity stems from Baldwin's firsthand military experience and his ability to explain and humanise the conflicts and decisions that soldiers face. Far from glorifying war, Baldwin paints a bleak picture of its toll on people and nations as a warning, which we would do well to take note of. I repeat what I said about Baldwin in my Operation Fools Mate 48 review. The storyline touches on a political undercurrent that is so relevant now that it confirms that Baldwin probably has insider knowledge. This time, the narration in Operation Fools Mate-Deadlock is so realistic that Baldwin's appearance as a government advisor on The News at Ten is not just likely; it's a realistic suggestion. For fans of the trilogy, Deadlock is a gripping continuation that balances action-packed set pieces with humorous introspective moments. For newcomers (jumping ahead is not recommended because you will miss some vital backstories), Deadlock is a compelling peek into Baldwin's world-a world uncomfortably close to ours. Baldwin's words are more than fiction; they're a wake-up call to the fragility of global, and particularly UK, security and the resilience required to navigate its challenges. M.L. Baldwin's unwavering gaze at the brutalities of modern warfare leaves an indelible mark on the soul, ensuring readers are not merely spectators but emotionally (sometimes to the point of queasiness) invested witnesses to the lives of the characters and the unravelling of our nation.
