| 'Nobody takes you to the action better than Ryan, because he's the real deal' Evening Standard 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's written many best-selling novels based on his experiences and his latest HARD TARGET is out now, in his brand-new extreme series, based on his number one best-selling extreme ebooks. It's even more faster, grittier, darker and deadlier. Find out more about Chris on his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/Chris-Ryan-Books-Fan-Page/242519319104131 |
