Critics Review
I am astounded by the way you told our tale. Absolutely brilliant.
Very inspirational and shows police officers for what they are normal people, people who can get hurt. A police officer goes to work every day not knowing what he/she will face. Their bravery should NEVER be underestimated. Fantastically written, you feel like you know the officers such is the writing style. I like how hard hitting the very real fears/emotions/mindset of the officers involved has been portrayed. Bravo to all those involved.After reading the book I can honestly say what a privilege and honour it is to have been able to contribute to it. The way each story is written really captured the moment and I couldn’t help but feel humbled. It really is a fantastic book.About The Author
