What if your prank killed your best friend. Could you live with yourself? You try to forget, and move on with your life; you enrol in Army training, you want to make something of your life. The training is tough, gruelling and it almost breaks you but you survive; you know you'll make a good soldier. Finally when you’re out in Afghanistan, faced with enemy fire, you come face-to-face with your best friend’s brother. He still blames you for his brother’s death and it’s clear he wants you dead. You now have more to fear than just enemy soldiers . . . You've been running away for so long but now you realise that there’s no escaping your past . . . or your destiny.

As a teenage delinquent, Andy McNab kicked against society. As a young soldier he fought against the IRA in the streets and fields of South Armagh. As a member of 22 SAS he was at the centre of covert operations for nine years – on five continents. During the Gulf War he commanded Bravo Two Zero, a patrol that, in the words of his commanding officer, 'will remain in regimental history for ever'. Awarded both the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM) and Military Medal (MM) during his military career, McNab was the British Army's most highly decorated serving soldier when he finally left the SAS. Since then Andy McNab has become one of the world’s bestselling writers, drawing on his insider knowledge and experience. As well as three nonfiction bestsellers, he is the author of the bestselling Nick Stone thrillers. Besides his writing work, he lectures to security and intelligence agencies in both the USA and UK, works in the film industry advising Hollywood on everything from covert procedure to training civilian actors to act like soldiers and he continues to be a spokesperson and fundraiser for both military and literacy charities. www.andymcnab.co.uk
