From the bestselling author of STRIKE BACK, Chris Ryan returns
with a new action-packed series.
Tough enough? Smart enough? Max will require all his skills just to
stay alive as a Special Forces Cadet . . .
Chris Ryan was born in 1961 in a village near Newcastle. At the age
of sixteen he attached himself unofficially to 'C' Squadron of 23rd
Special Air Service, the territorial regiment based at Prudhoe, in
Northumberland. Over the next seven years he covered hundreds of
miles of moor and mountain on training exercises.
In 1984 he joined 22nd SAS, the regular Regiment, and completed
three tours which took him to many parts of the world on operations
and exercises. He also worked extensively in the counter-terrorist
field, serving as an assaulter, sniper and finally Sniper Team
Commander on the Special Projects team.
Chris was part of the SAS eight-man team chosen for the famous
Bravo Two Zero mission during the 1991 Gulf War. He was the only
member of the unit to escape from Iraq, where three of his
colleagues were killed and four captured. This was the longest
escape and evasion in the history of the SAS, and for this he was
awarded the Military Medal. Chris wrote about his experiences in
his book The One That Got Away, which was adapted for screen and
became an immediate bestseller.
Since then he has written four other books of non-fiction, over 20
bestselling novels and three series of children's books. Chris's
novels have gone on inspire the Sky One series Strike Back.
In addition to his books, Chris has presented a number of very
successful TV programmes including Hunting Chris Ryan, How Not to
Die and Chris Ryan's Elite Police.
