"Predict the threat. Prevent the attack. Protect the Principal.” “Assess the threat. Counter the danger. Escape the kill zone (or A-C-E).” “Billionaires. Bullets. Betrayal.”

British author Chris Bradford sure knows his way around acronyms, alliteration and catchy rules-of-thumb as central thematic set-pieces in his high-octane action-adventure series, Bodyguard.
