A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

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.

He is a bestselling author of thriller titles for the adult market and his ALPHA FORCE series for younger readers has also proven very successful. He also appears regularly on TV with series such as HUNTING CHRIS RYAN, PUSHED TO THE LIMIT (toughest families), TERROR ALERT (Sky TV, 2004) and HOW NOT TO DIE (Sky, 2005).

Quatrième de couverture

Code Red, Code Red... the bushfire is out of control!

A searing drought.
A parched landscape.
And a fire-starter with a box of matches.

Ben is in Australia when the hot conditions - and a group of rioters with a sinister agenda - combine to create a terrifying bushfire which horrifyingly, unquenchably, bursts into life and tears through the area. With flames up to l00 metres high, thousands of homes are caught in the inferno. And thousands of people must flee for their lives...

But the fire can be a great cover for a kidnap attempt ...

Code Red, Code Red...

An unputdownable adventure from Chris Ryan, ex-SAS hero and bestselling author.
