But when Dale dies a battle for leadership between his brother and youngest son, Ronnie begins. As the townsfolk hold their breath in anticipation of trouble, local fisherman turned smuggler, Billy Bates spots an opportunity to end the Jenkins reign of terror and gathers an army out of the clan's enemies, an army of misfits including a daring young thief called Alfred Bicks and a mysterious orphan whose past has destroyed his very soul. Risking everything Bill steps out of the shadows challenging the clan for control of the town's criminal underworld and all out war erupts in the streets.

His debut novel has been reviewed on Amazon from readers all over the world and is currently ranked with an average customer review of 5 stars out of 5, placing it higher than any book Dan Brown or JK Rowling have ever written. Bygone Kent, the county's top history magazine, described the smuggling adventure as a page turner they'd highly recommend. As a writer I'm always looking to do something different ans surprise the reader at every turn, George says, Since my debut's release I've received lots of positive feedback and I'm very confident that if you liked 'The Boy Who Led Them' then you'll love 'The Boy Who Felt No Pain'.
