Battleground: Code Red

Description

Some authors just write about it. Chris Ryan has been there, done it and lived to tell the tale. This is the brand-new action-packed, electrifying sixth CODE RED adventure by our real-life SAS hero. You wake up in a dark room with no idea where you are. You are gagged and forced into a waiting truck. You have done nothing wrong. What would you do? Fourteen-year-old Ben travels to Pakistan on a school exchange programme. Ben and his Pakistani host, Aaarya, find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. They see something they're not supposed to and are kidnapped by some strange men. Caught up in a terrifying planned terrorist attack that could destroy Southern Afghanistan, killing thousands, Ben and Aarya are dragged through the most terrifying battleground in the world.

Chris Ryan 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 his 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. He is a bestselling author of thriller titles for adults and his first series for younger readers, ALPHA FORCE, has also proven very successful. He appears regularly on TV with series such as HUNTING CHRIS RYAN, PUSHED TO THE LIMIT, TERROR ALERT and HOW NOT TO DIE
