Game of Justice
by Mark Radford

It's the year 2027 and Britain is ruled by a corrupt Animals Rights Organization that punishes animal cruelty with a brutal “game of justice.” Military Crimes Officer Carl Treyer unwittingly becomes professionally and personally involved in a politically charged case when the battle between the animal rights regime and an underground rebel movement literally shows up at his doorstep.

The sinister General Skara and his loyal followers lead the officer down a twisted trail until the rebel group intervenes. Soon Carl meets with both factions, attempting to perform his job, save his fiancée, and maintain order in the land. With so much at stake, however, he finds himself losing his cool at inopportune moments.

At only 110 pages, this novel gets right to the action with a “murder” in the very first paragraph. Brevity defines this work, with action taking precedence over descriptive details about physical characteristics, surroundings, speech patterns, and other nuances. There's no wasted time or space here. Radford's writing style is not only brief, but very direct, with character motivations clearly manifested for the reader. Because of its interesting political premise, action scenes, and descriptive violence, Game of Justice should appeal mostly to male readers fond of military science fiction and political thrillers.
