<div class="IPBDescription">Chris Ryan Book - Anyone Else Read It?</div> I've just finished it this morning and thought it was very good
(Especially for the £3.00 I paid for it.)
As in most Chris Ryan books it was a tediously slow start but
things started to improve and soon enough I was immersed.
Here's the low-down for those interested:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The SAS mission conducted behind Iraqi lines is one of the most famous stories of courage and survival in modern warfare. Of the eight members of the SAS regiment who set off, only one escaped capture. This is his story. Late on the evening of 24 January 1991 the patrol was compromised deep behind enemy lines in Iraq. A fierce fire-fight left the eight men miraculously unscathed, but they were forced to run for their lives. Their aim was to reach the Syrian border, 120 kilometres to the north-west, but during the first night the patrol accidentally broke into two groups, five and three. Chris Ryan found himself left with two companions. Nothing had prepared them for the vicious cold of the desert winter, and they began to suffer from hypothermia. During the night one of the men was to disappear in a blinding blizzard. The next day a goat-herd came across the two survivors. Chris's remaining partner, went with him in search of food and was never to return. Left on his own, Chris Ryan beat off an Iraqi attack and set out alone. His greatest adventure was only just beginning. This is the story of courage under fire, of hairbreadth escapes, of the best trained soldiers in the world fighting against adverse conditions, and of one man's courageous refusal to lie down and die. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Next on my list is:
Tom Clancy's - Rainbow Six (Always wanted to read one of his as I loved Ghost Recon on the Pc)
Sven Hassle - Bloody Road To Death (Or something like that, it's on my shelf at home)
Also recommended Chris Books are:
"The Kremlin Device" and "Zero Option"
(Especially for the £3.00 I paid for it.)
