Synopsis

The fourth book in Chris Ryan's Extreme series.

The Chris Ryan Extreme books take you even further into the heart of the mission with more extreme action, more extreme language and more extreme pace. Like Call of Duty or Medal of Honour you'll feel part of the team.

Chris Ryan Extreme: Silent Kill has previously been published as four separate shorter missions. Now in one book to keep you at the heart of the action.

Northern Ireland, 1993. For high-flying MI5 officer Avery Chance the real war has only just begun. When Chance is abducted by the IRA's notorious Nutting Squad, her hopes lie in the hands of a young SAS recruit who must risk everything to bring her home.

Twenty years after his act of self-sacrifice in Belfast ex-SAS legend John Bald is a scarred shadow of his former self. But when a face from the past appears and rescues him from deep trouble, Bald is offered one last shot at redemption. His target is Kurt Pretorius, a ruthless mercenary operating deep in the wilds of war-ravaged Somali.

In a world where rogue mercenaries operate beyond the reach of the law, Kurt Pretorius has transformed himself into a god. It is up to Bald to stop Pretorius before he turns Somalia into a terrorist haven. But Bald quickly finds himself sucked into a twisted game of survival, where the stakes could not be higher - and the price of failure is his life...

With time running out, Bald must kill Pretorius before he brings down everyone around him. It's a mission Bald was born to do. Because sometimes, the only way to beat your deadliest enemy...is to be like your deadliest enemy.

About Chris Ryan

Former SAS corporal and the only man to escape death or capture during the Bravo Two Zero operation in the 1991 Gulf War, Chris Ryan turned to writing thrillers to tell the stories the Official Secrets Act stops him putting in his non-fiction. His novels have gone on to inspire the Sky One series Strike Back. Born near Newcastle in 1961, Chris Ryan joined the SAS in 1984. During his ten years there he was involved in overt and covert operations and was also sniper team commander of the anti-terrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris Ryan was the only member of an eight-man unit to escape from Iraq, where 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. He wrote about his experiences in the bestseller The One That Got Away, which was adapted for screen, and since then has written three other works of non-fiction, over twenty bestselling novels and a series of children's books.


Reviews

Goodreads review by Julie

Not really my kind of book. Although the main character was well drawn and the action swift I find it difficult to enjoy mass killings. I don't think I shall be searching out any more Chris Ryan books.......more

Goodreads review by Mr

The sort of book to read when you need to while a way a few hours but are not looking for anything too challenging. I’m sure many will find this sort of book engaging but for my part I won’t be reading any more in the series.......more

Goodreads review by Stuart

6/10 12% good holiday fodder but won’t rush to by any more by this former SAS hero who seems to knock out novels at the speed of bullets from an Uzi......more

Goodreads review by Mike

My 3rd Chris Ryan. Good solid action books. This one has ex SAS man John Bald in action. From dealings with the IRA in Northern Island. To hunting a Kurtz like character in Africa. Easy read.......more

Well written, hard to put down......more


Quotes

Nobody takes you to the action better than Ryan, because he's the real deal, and this muscle-and-bone thriller will have fans' blood pumping. Evening Standard

Ryan chooses fiercely up-to-the-minute plots, and laces them with an exceptional eye for detail and insider knowledge ... Fearsome and fast-moving ... much more than a conventional thriller. Daily Mail

Chris Ryan has always been underrated as a novelist of ideas... a welter of treachery and mayhem. Daily Telegraph
