Book description
The deaths of four British soldiers, two of them ex SAS, appear at
first to be accidental. In fact, they have been targeted by a group of
hired assassins, known as the Clinic. This group of contract killers is
systematically tracking down elite servicemen and killing them one by
one... Desperate to stop the murders, a group of four men, the Feather
Men, are recruited to hunt down the Clinic and avenge the soldiers'
deaths. But will they get to them in time and what's driving the
Clinic's own brutal form of justice? Ranulph Fiennes, himself a former
SAS officer, uses his unique knowledge to craft this amazing thriller,
now a major film, featuring Robert De Niro, Jason Statham and Clive
Owen. Sir Ranulph Fiennes was the first man to reach both poles by
surface travel and the first to cross the Antarctic Continent
unsupported. Fiennes has led over 30 expeditions including the first
polar circumnavigation of the Earth, and in 2003 he ran seven marathons
in seven days on seven continents in aid of the British Heart
Foundation. In 1993 he was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE)
for 'human endeavour and charitable services' because, on the way to
breaking records, he has raised over £14 million for charity. He was
named Best Sportsman in the 2007 ITV Great Briton Awards. In 2008 he
became the oldest Briton to reach the summit of Everest.
