A Minefield Full of Penguins

The stunning first book from the British indie author T B Carter.

Some jobs come with a uniform, or maybe a company car. Xavier’s new job came with a company sword.

After twelve years in the army, civilian life for Xavier is a struggle. He hates his new job. His girlfriend was much nicer to him when she only saw him on leave, and he’s no longer allowed to blow stuff up. Not even a little bit.

When an old school friend offers him a job looking after an abandoned house in Wales he eagerly accepts. Then things start to go wrong. His girlfriend really doesn’t want to leave London, the police want speak to him about a murder, and he discovers the previous inhabitants of his future home mysteriously disappeared.

As events unfold, the deadly skills Xavier never thought he’d use again are put to the test.
