Raiders: A fast-paced military science fiction thriller (The Secret War Book 1) by Simon Haynes
Raiders is a complete, standalone novel in the Secret War series.

What happens when you’re worth more dead than alive? A decorated fighter pilot is lost in combat, and his death is used to inspire waves of fresh recruits. Recruits desperately needed to fight in the long-running war. Sam Willet is one such recruit, but she’s different. Different because the missing hero is her brother, and Sam has questions. Questions nobody wants asked. Questions that will probably get her killed.

10 steps to Outline a book with Atticus, without modifying the software, or downloading scripts.
1️⃣ – Open Atticus in your web browser.
2️⃣ – Create a new novel for your manuscript and name it with your manuscript name. e.g. Egg and Tomato
3️⃣ – Create a second book for your world building and plotting guide (use the same name as your manuscript and add the word World on the end. e.g. Egg and Tomato – World
4️⃣ – In the World book, delete the title page, and the copyright page, leaving only the contents page (we won’t use this, but it can’t be deleted)
5️⃣ – Add some chapters in the World book. We will re-use these in a minute.
6️⃣ – Drag and drop those chapters into the top section of the world book, and rename them. Loc – name of place, Char – Name of person, Item – Name of item, etc.
7️⃣ – Add a chapter and do some brainstorming
8️⃣ – The top section is now your research section and world bible, filled with Characters, Items, Locations, Notes and more, and the bottom section is the plotting and outline section. You can fill it with ideas, then drag and drop them into the order that suits you.
9️⃣ – Open 2 browser windows, and put them side by side. on the left side, open your main book, e.g. Egg and Tomato. On the right side, open the World book. You now have a reference, with which you can start to write your book, from the outline and information you have got. In my example, the right browser window takes up about a quarter of the screen, and I have clicked the mini menu to show the research section. In the right window, I have the writing window using three quarters of the screen ready to write in.
🔟 – Write!
