Book description

In the Regiment, operators never lose...they just run out of time. Ex-Blade John Bald is dispatched to war-torn Libya. He's on the trail of a sleeper who has the power to trigger a new global conflict. But a seemingly chance encounter with an old friend launches Bald head-first into a showdown against an entrenched enemy prepared to fight to the bloody end. Bald doesn't do losing. He'll need to call on all his warrior skills and instincts to stay alive and uncover a terrifying secret. 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.
