Stand By Stand By - Tapa blanda

Never has there been a more graphic account of the SAS in action, never a thriller so authentically grounded in the twists and turns of undercover warfare. Geordie Sharp, a sergeant in the SAS, is struggling to pick up the threads of his army career. Wounded in the Gulf War, he returns to Hereford to find his home life in tatters. As he trains with Northern Ireland Troop, a murder in his family fires him with personal hatred of the IRA. Posted to Belfast, he discovers that his adversary is Declan Farrell, a leading player in the Provisional IRA. Sharp sets out to stalk and kill his man.

Chris Ryan was born near Newcastle in 1961 and joined the SAS in 1984. During the Gulf War, Chris was the only member of an eight man team to escape from Iraq, three of whom 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.
