Book description
SAS Captain Alex Temple is on an urgent mission. Someone has been
murdering MI5 officers and it looks as if the killer is an insider,
one of the Regiment's own. Alex's task is to track down and eliminate
the killer, and to assist him he is assigned an MI5 liason officer -
the attractive but abrasive Dawn Harding.
The body-count is mounting and a deadly and relentless manhunt
begins. Soon Alex will learn the bitter truth: in the shadowy
battlegrounds of the Intelligence wars there is no good and no evil -
only winners and losers.
This relentless unputdownable thriller helps establish Chris Ryan as
the master of no-holds-barred action storytelling.
Chris Ryan was born in 1961 in a village near Newcastle. In 1984 he
joined the SAS. During his ten years in the Regiment , he was involved
in overt and covert operations and was also Sniper team commander of the
anti-terrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris was the only member of
an eight-man team to escape from Iraq, of which three 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. During
Ryan's last two years in the Regiment he selected and trained potential
SAS recruits, he left the SAS in 1994 and is now the author of many
bestselling thrillers for adults, as well as the
Alpha Force
and
Code Red
series for younger readers.
