about the author

Umesh Moudgil was born in India in 1965 and moved to the United Kingdom with his parents in 1970. As a young boy growing up, he experienced all the changes to our multiracial society. Always very shy, he enjoyed writing and had fun in his school years. Growing up in a close-knit Indian household, family was key for him; he has three siblings, all older than him. His parents were the rocks growing up and always wanted the best. Umesh, however, did not want to study and he would always be asking questions. Now married with three children, writing is a form where he can express himself and bring his characters to life. His beliefs are seen clearly in his writing and his characters show the emotions that he feels are good.

about the book

The colour of your skin or where you come from should never affect how people look at you. The world changed after September 2001, when the twin towers were downed by two highjacked aircraft crashing into them and into the Pentagon. People of all creed and colour condemned the attacks and the murder of innocents in the name of religion. Brothers in arms do not care about the colour of your skin; for them, it is about the loyalty you have for one and another. When you are in heat of the battle, who cares if the person fighting next to you is from a different religion; he is your brother, he has your back and will die and fight with you.What 9/11 did was paint a red target on every person of colour as a potential threat. All religions preach happiness, peace and love.Aman, a young British Asian, fights for these very reasons – loyalty, love and honour is his backbone. His brothers in arms do not look at him because he is Asian but just as another soldier doing his job and being there as a unit. The valour shown by these young soldiers can only be admired; most of them, if they return, will never be the same mentally and physically. Many will suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, proud men with deep scars of the theatre of war.
