Book description
A lethal new drug with devastating side effects, known as Meltdown,
is threatening to destabilize society. Dudley knows that the security
services have to act fast, and when his 4 x 4 arrives at their remote
hideout in the Canadian lakes, eighteen-year-old Danny and his
grandfather, ex-SAS hero Fergus Watts, are once again sucked into a
deadly undercover operation and a race against time.
Their search for the mastermind behind a pair of murderous gangland
twins takes them from the clubs of Manchester to Spain and Germany,
and Danny needs all his newly learned expertise when he comes up
against an old adversary - someone he hoped never to encounter again.
And this time, when the battle is joined, it is a battle to the end.
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, Dark Winter, Aggressor and
Recoil. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and
intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK.
Robert Rigby began his career as a journalist, then spent several
years in the music business as a songwriter and session musician. He
turned to writing for radio, television and the theatre and has also
directed and performed in children's theatre throughout the country.
He has become an established young people's playwright and his
award-winning work with youth theatre companies has been seen in
Britain, Europe, the USA and Africa. He wrote the novelizations of the
movies, Goal! and Goal II, and his scripts for
television include the long-running BBC children's drama series
Byker Grove.
