Overview

Going All The Way is part two of the 'Bootneck Threesome' trilogy and the follow-up to the top ten biography Going Commando, which was featured in Soldier Magazine, the Daily Telegraph and the Weekend Sport. Mark Time's latest military memoir brims with emotion, bouncing between hilarious disasters and sobering confrontation. 'The folly of youth needn't define who we become.' Mark Time Now a commando, yet still more a poster boy for children's underpants than the Royal Marines, Mark Time hones his newfound military skills and discovers the noble art of transvestism. He plunges into a world of sun, sea and sangars, where he jumps between the dystopian world of colonial peacekeeping and the hedonistic lifestyle of a military with no wars to join. Whether he is scuppering fermented diesel in the jungle or being sledgehammered by the unfiltered suffering of conflict, Mark carries a dark secret that weighs heavier than the equipment he carries on his back. Often controversial, this book's provocative nature is certainly not for the faint-hearted, yet is a humorous and uplifting account of a troubled bon vivant. Like his first book, Going All The Way will appeal to a wider audience than the usual military fare, offering insight into many topical issues including military strategy and mental health, all glazed with his synonymous humour, as Mark's ethos lies in 'painting the world with colour'. WARNING: Contains scenes of sex, violence, and commandos wearing lipstick. 'A cross between Jeremy Clarkson and Tom Sharpe' Navy Net. MARK TIME is a former Royal Marines Commando. After the success of Going Commando, Mark has written articles for the national press and been invited to interview on TV and radio.

Author Information

Mark has made overcoming adversity an art form. The Royal Marines was his first metaphorical Goliath, but with fortitude and resilience as his sidekick, Mark battled through physical and mental disadvantage to become a commando by the age of 17. Camaraderie, adventure and integrity became his watchwords for the next 12 years before succumbing to the lure of adventure outside the military. The 'Bootneck Threesome' trilogy is his first book series and a departure from the current military literature available. Such a unique style reflects his current writing focus that zones in on the alternate face of society and subcultures. In addition to books, Mark writes features for the national press and for a number of satirical websites under the pen name 'Brian Flan'. Keen to provide humour in his writing, Mark is passionate about painting the world with colour. Mark spends his spare time travelling, failing miserably to retain his six pack, and retrieving his hyperactive Jack Russell from rabbit burrows.
