Steve Barker
Action & Adventure Author
I was born in 1962 in Farnham, Hampshire, England. I lived in several places before moving to Southampton near the south coast, where I lived before I joined the British Army.
I left School in 1979 and, within a month, joined the Royal Green Jackets in Winchester; after completing training joined 3RGJ in Cambridge. I continued to serve until 1989.
In 2017 I was diagnosed with PTSD from three life-threatening events during my service. As part of my treatment at Combat Stress, someone suggested I should begin writing.
I have always written short pieces of work which never go past the printer—writing the first two books on cruising as I love cruising.
During my last two-week stay at Combat Stress in April 2019, I wrote my first ever book on poetry called ‘Poetry from the PTSD Mind,’ which takes the reader on a journey from the bad times to the good.
When the world got locked down in 2020, I spent my time writing the first of the Covert-Ops series Danger in Paradise, followed a year later by Danger on the Island. Then in 2022, the third book in the series, The Golden Camel, was published, and in 2024, The Extraction.

Reviews
This isn't a genre that I often read, but it sounded interesting, and I thought it might be something that I could sink my bookish teeth into. This military thriller takes the reader to the Australian outback, and I found there was an atmosphere that kept me invested. I wanted to know more about the characters and connect with them, especially Steve.
Though this seemed like a hefty read to begin with, I found it was quite easy to get through once I started reading. I liked reading about these characters because they were strong-willed and determined. This book felt like a change for me, but it's definitely worth a read.
