SISU: A Series of Epic Adventures. SISU, a gripping modern adventure, focuses on transforming personal trauma into a relentless journey of courage and survival against overwhelming odds. Peacock’s book can be purchased at T16, the publisher’s book buying website: https://t16books.com/.

"SISU is a contemporary account of perpetual conflict that speaks to real human challenges and how to face the unknown head on and with integrity,” said Peacock, a life coach and mentor who served in the Royal Navy, is fluent in English, French, and Chinese, and has worked and traveled throughout Europe, China, and North America. “This story lifts readers from the flimsy normal existence into a world of high drama, suspense and love as the main character navigates countries across the globe where the rule of law is opaque and geopolitical ideologies differ.”

Peacock’s story is rooted in the Finnish concept of Sisu—a unique mindset embodying extraordinary determination, grit, courage, and resilience, especially when facing overwhelming odds. The tale follows a young man shaped by violence, corruption, and social dysfunction, yet unwilling to be broken by them. Raised amid the fallout of murder and institutional failure in “Dark London,” the protagonist becomes collateral damage in a world ruled by corrupted police, organized crime, and repression.

Forced to flee, the main character chooses to define his own destiny rather than surrender to victimhood. His escape ignites a perilous journey across Europe and Asia, traveling by train and on foot through the French Alps, Moscow, Beijing, Mongolia, and beyond. Along the way, he survives blizzards, gunfire, snatch squads, wild dogs, as well as criminals closer to home.

“Angus’ story is about refusing to be broken, no matter how difficult the circumstances,” said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. “This book was born from the belief that Sisu is not just surviving but catching a second wind that will propel you forward when everything else is gone.”
