Screw the Nut 2: Rescue Ryan


Sometimes you don’t choose the mission. The mission chooses you.


Coming March 2026


The mission

After the smoke clears in Ireland, Mark Ryan is presumed dead.

Only he isn’t.

He’s alive - barely - locked away under a false name in the darkest wing of Britain’s most notorious prison: Belmarsh.

Anders Beck has tried to walk away from the life. But when the CIA comes knocking with an ultimatum - break Ryan out, or watch him disappear for good - he’s left with no choice.

What begins as a surgical strike quickly unravels into a desperate fight for survival.

What begins as a rescue

As Anders and the team are thrust into a globe-trotting escape, they’re dragged deep into the underworlds of London and Central Africa.

Hunted by governments.
Betrayed by allies.
Facing enemies old and new.

To survive, they’ll have to rely on old instincts, unbreakable brotherhood - and more than a little luck.

What this mission becomes

This is a story about loyalty under pressure.

About what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.

About the cost of brotherhood when the world turns hostile.

It’s a high-stakes rescue that spirals into something far bigger - where survival depends as much on trust as it does on firepower.

This isn’t just a prison break.

It’s all-out war.

Buckle up.
