Informazioni sull?autore

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).

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Code Red . . . Code Red . . . Vortex is go . . .

A weapons training base.

An endangered bird of prey.

And a dangerous research project . . .

Events spiral rapidly out of control when Ben Tracey heads for the Northumbrian moors to spot hen harriers - protected birds of prey. For the birds are nesting near a military base where a small group of renegade researchers are finalizing the details on a very secret - and very illegal - project: Project Vortex. With buyers preparing to seal deals for the technology, the new weapon could lead to catastrophic Code Red scenarios all over the world.

As the clock ticks down, can Ben and Annie prevent this disaster? Their opponents are determined to stop them leaving - and have a range of formidable firepower to hand . . .

Dramatic, explosive and full of thrills, Vortex is Chris Ryan's fourth title in the action-packed Code Red series.
