Book description

SEARING HEAT

You have the most dangerous job in the world's most dangerous place. You are responsible for bomb disposal in the British sector of Iraq. You are the last defence against oblivion. And it's already a hundred degrees in the shade. ,

COLD FEAR

You are up against some of the most sophisticated bombmakers in the world. They don't play by the rules of the Geneva Convention. Nothing but your own wits will save you. You're on your own.

SILENCE

Now is the moment of truth. All you can hear is the sound of your own blood pounding through your veins. This could be your last moment on earth.

IT'S JUST YOU AND THE BOMB

Chris Hunter joined the British Army in 1989 at sixteen. He was commissioned from Sandhurst at twenty-one and later qualified as a counter-terrorist bomb disposal operator. He served with a number of specialist counter-terrorism units and during his career was deployed to numerous operational theatres, including the Balkans, Northern Ireland, Colombia, Afghanistan and Iraq. For his actions during his Iraq tour he was awarded the Queen's Gallantry Medal by HM Queen Elizabeth II.
