Radioman

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Foster has always been extremely dangerous in the stories, but it was more of a background choice. He's been deployed on the majority of the non-SOCOM missions that Stillwater has, carrying the radio and running commo for Stillwater. He comes through it all in pretty good condition. He's capable of becoming almost invisible via his posture and body language.

Some alpha readers told me that it doesn't really come through, because I made him practically invisible in many of the stories.So in Radioman I wanted to showcase his backbground, internal monoloques, and the fact that he is very very dangerous.

I replaced the listed radioman in Cold Hatred with Foster, because it fits him more, and explains why he worked so hard on his hand to hand skills later.

Foster is an extremely dangerous person. Arguably more dangerous than Stillwater. His background destroyed his ability to feel empathy for other people, his ethics and morality are severely damaged. Where Stillwater copes with harsh environments Foster just ignores them. He's capable of just ignoring damage to himself, because he just. doesn't. care.

He's best described as a functioning sociopathic psychopath.

With Aine, however, her touch has an unusual effect. Where in other people it causes lust, her touch fills that empty spot inside of him with warmth. This has had a slow addictive focus on him where he craves her touch, and without it that empty spot inside of him slowly grows again to consume everything human about him.

The book IS a romance, but we're dealing with someone who, in a strange way, is less human than Aine is.
