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.

He’s a strong, masculine man, much stronger and fitter than you, a better fighter and an all round top bloke. This book drips testosterone so be careful where you put it down. Being a manly man, Chris is......more

To be honest, I think the ‘sensible personal safety advice’ is the most valuable part.......more

Goodreads review by Tom

I was already a big fan of Chris Ryan's fiction, but it turns out his Non-fiction is actually what sets him apart from his ex-servicemen contemporaries. I was worried this might be a bit "Soldier-y" but in actual fact, Chris Ryan demonstrates more humility and more no-ego street wisdom than most oth......more

Goodreads review by anna

The key here is "situational awareness", which the author reiterates over and over again in the book. Something which most of us lack, especially when we come from a country that is extremely safe. A lot of the tips are common sense and sound very simple but when an incident hits, usually we are in......more

Goodreads review by Jtc911

Had high expectations for this book. In reality, it seems nothing more than a rushed effort to take advantage of the current fear of terrorism. Alarmingly straightforward advice that gives little insight or opportunity to learn. Will no doubt sell a lot of copies off the back of the author’s stature......more
