Book description
Gripping, action-packed thriller from the best-selling author of
BRAVO TWO ZERO. Ideal for adventure-seeking readers.
Danny Watts's grandfather, Fergus, was a traitor. One of the worst
sort. An SAS explosives expert who betrayed his country and his
Regiment for money. Drug money. He was arrested and left to rot and
die in a Columbian jail.
At least, that's what seventeen-year-old Danny is told when his
hopes of becoming a soldier are destroyed for ever. But he knows
something the army doesn't seem to know. Fergus Watts is alive and in
the UK, living in secret under an assumed name - but where? Fergus is
Danny's only living relative. Burning with fury and desire for
revenge, Danny sets out to track down his grandfather and expose him.
In doing so he sets in train an explosive sequence of events which
throw Danny and Fergus together on the run from the people who want
Fergus, and now Danny, dead.
Packed with breathtaking action, SAS procedures and surveillance and
survival techniques, this is a fast-moving, action-packed thriller for teenagers.
Andy McNab joined the infantry as a boy soldier. In 1984 he was
'badged' as a member of 22 SAS Regiment and was involved in both
covert and overt special operations worldwide. During the Gulf War he
commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his
commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'.
Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal
(MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most
highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS in
February 1993. He wrote about his experiences in two phenomenal
bestsellers, Bravo Two Zero, which was filmed in 1998 starring Sean
Bean, and Immediate Action. He is the author of the bestselling
novels, Remote Control, Crisis Four, Firewall,
Last Light, Liberation Day and Dark Winter.
Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence
agencies in both the USA and UK.
