The Bullyboys' Nemesis Roy Macelwee

The opening chapter of this book highlights the growing number of instances of bullying that have been constantly occurring in this country in recent times. Although it has been generally associated with schoolchildren over past decades, it has become evident in various other sectors of the community. External pressures have now resulted in a greater awareness of the problem, as the numerous examples clearly demonstrate. This involved the Government and other national bodies who are attempting to at least reduce this unacceptable and demoralising behaviour. Those are the facts. The bullyboys' nemesis is a short fictional story relating to a victim of incessant bullying by a fearsome foursome throughout his entire school life. On leaving school he joins the army, subsequently being accepted into the renowned SAS, which transforms him as an individual. However, during his introduction into the army, he is seduced by a married woman whose husband is serving time. This incident has drastic repercussions later in his life. After serving his eight years commitment to the army, he has difficulty finding work in civvy street. So he offers his services to the local CID in a surveillance role, to combat the high crime rate in his home town. This work brings him into contact with the fearsome foursome on whom he wreaks his sweet revenge. This new role brings him into contact with an escapee lifer, who turns out to be one of his old SAS buddies. He offers him a safe house and simultaneously receives a letter from yet another SAS buddy working in America with an offer of a job. This provides both of them with a new start. So they both head for the USA, the escapee making it covertly. They join their mate's security company and settle into their new lives. They join the ex-pat's club where he falls in love with an English lady whom he subsequently discovers is the daughter of the woman who seduced him. This causes a major problem when her parents decide to visit to celebrate their engagement. Her mother causes an undercurrent of embarrassing demands. He rejects these which causes her to lose her sensibilities. She threatens him with a revolver which she picked up from his bedroom. He was attempting to disarm her, when he was shot through the heart but not from the gun she held!
