Book description
You wake up in a dark room with no idea where you are. You are
gagged and forced into a waiting truck. You have done nothing wrong.
What would you do?
Fourteen-year-old Ben travels to Pakistan on a school exchange
programme. Ben and his Pakistani host, Aaarya, find themselves in the
wrong place at the wrong time. They see something they're not supposed
to and are kidnapped by some strange men. Caught up in a terrifying
planned terrorist attack that could destroy Southern Afghanistan,
killing thousands, Ben and Aarya are dragged through the most
terrifying battleground in the world.
Chris Ryan joined the SAS in 1984. During the Gulf War, Chris was
the only member of an eight-man team to escape from Iraq. Three of his
colleagues were killed and four captured. It was the longest escape
and evasion in the history of the SAS. For this he was awarded the
Military Medal.
He is a bestselling author of thriller titles for adults and his
first series for younger readers, ALPHA FORCE, has also proven very
successful. He appears regularly on TV with series such as HUNTING
CHRIS RYAN, PUSHED TO THE LIMIT, TERROR ALERT and HOW NOT TO DIE
