Outcast: The blistering thriller from the No.1 bestselling SAS hero

Product Information

Bowman is a weak character and I really think he has had his one and only outing, at least he was a serving soldier and not the only ex SAS man that could save the world. A brilliant, nerve-biting thriller which kept you on the edge of your seat until the last moment. Ryan does what he does best - complex characters, great plot development and outstanding action scenes, all without losing the reader along the way.

The patrol’s mission was to find a good LUP and gather intelligence information and set up the OP on the supply route between North-Western Iraq and Baghdad.

Outcast : The blistering thriller from the No.1 bestselling

Welcome to a textbook case study of armed conflict and a standoff involving a rescue attempt and a blood thirsty coup. This is classic Ryan. The slight tweak is that the main character is dealing with addiction. This however feels like a convenient plot point, almost a USP, but this is something that feels under-developed. Maybe we’ll see more in future books. In all honesty, the answer is yes! There is the level of detail that you would associate with someone who has been there and done that, and this shows in the book.

Not read anything by this author before, even though I have some of his books on my kindle on my "to read" list, but I have read books by similar authors and thought I'd see if this lived up to some of them. Ryan writes with the authority of a man familiar with every nuance of the regiment's tactics, training, weapons and equipment' - SUNDAY TIMESHe also trained and managed six men who made the Team GB at the Sure for The Span’s Men Extreme Pamplona Chase. He also starred in Hunting Chris Ryan at the BBC which was later aired on the Military Channel and played the role of Special Forces Manhunt. Chris Ryan was born in Tyner and Wear, Rowlands Gill, North East England. He enrolled into the army as a boy soldier at the age of 16 after going to Hookergate secondary school and he had a cousin who was enrolled into the 23rd SAS Reserves. He then invited Ryan to go there and see for himself how it felt like to be really in the army. same old...but this time give the flawed hero a drug addiction to battle through as well as enemies During the Gulf War, Chris was the only member of an eight-man team to escape from Iraq, of which three colleagues were killed and four captured. It was the longest escape and evasion in the history of the SAS. The characters and dialogue are the paper thin variety I was expecting from this kind of thriller. Can hardly demote points for that. The action is well written. Ryan certainly loves to tell us all about firearms and their bullet calibers but when the bullets are flying it's enjoyable.
