Ex SAS Chris Ryan writes combat action thrillers.
OK for a light read. But tend to be a little too gung ho and melodramatic.

The only reference I could find to or quote from this anthology was a essay on street kids on Changemakers
I’m in love with the power of words. As a child I’d take my magical sword to the enemy, my heart to the maiden and my hungry mind to a thousand worlds on offer. Words taught and entertained. Matric found me winning the English prize but despite having thought I’d be the adventuring journalist uncovering insidious plots by evil politicians, my journey of discovery was only beginning.
Where I’m now finds me as a freelance, music agent whose words often market bands and events, writing biographies, press releases and web content. I own several websites and it’s there where i write creatively for myself (blog, poetry) and the music industry (CD reviews, band interviews etc.).

Written by Tash Aw, We The Survivors is as good a read as any I have found.
He has a comfortable, easy style and his narrative about nothing much, held my attention, despite everything it was not. If there was a theme it was grinding poverty and the futility of trying to change things that remain the same. Life inevitably returning to where it begins.

Readable but only just. I needed the help of Google to recall the story line of this book by Mark Billingham.
