Book description

"Faster, Grittier, Darker, Deadlier... Chris Ryan Extreme Disgraced former SAS legend John Bald turfs up in the Florida everglades, an illegal grey man in the most monitored country on earth. The Firm need his help to kill a sleeper before they smuggle military secrets into the hands of terrorists. Shadowing the two sleeper suspects, Bald soon finds himself caught up in a world of hi-tech warfare and deceit as he's hunted through the seedy Tampa underworld by a ruthless ex-CIA hitman. With nowhere to run, Bald is about to find out the hard way that not everything is at it seems. " Chris Ryan was born near Newcastle in 1961. He joined the SAS in 1984. During his ten years there he was involved in overt and covert operations and was also sniper team commander of the anti-terrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris Ryan was the only member of an eight-man unit to escape from Iraq, where 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. For his last two years he was selecting and training potential recruits for the SAS. He wrote about his experiences in the bestseller The One That Got Away, which was adapted for screen and since then has written three other works of non-fiction, fourteen bestselling novels and a series of childrens' books. He lectures in business motivation and security, and is a consultant for a security organisation.
