During the Gulf War, Ryan was a team member of the ill-fated eight-man SAS patrol, with the call sign Bravo Two Zero. The patrol was sent into Iraq to "gather intelligence,... find a good LUP (lying up position) and set up an OP (observation post)" on the main supply route (MSR) between Baghdad and North-Western Iraq, and eventually take out the Scud TELs. [3] :16 In addition to his writing Ryan has contributed to several television series and video games. In 2002 Ryan co-created and appeared in ITV's action series, Ultimate Force, playing the role of Blue Troop leader Staff Sergeant Johnny Bell in the first series. He acted as a military adviser for the video game I.G.I.-2: Covert Strike. [ citation needed] After leaving the SAS, Ryan wrote The One That Got Away, which covers the account from his patrol report of the Bravo Two Zero mission. Both his and McNab's accounts have been heavily criticised by former territorial SAS member and explorer Michael Asher, who attempted to retrace the patrol's footsteps for TV and claimed to have debunked both accounts with the help of the then-SAS regimental sergeant major Peter Ratcliffe. [10] [11]Cut to years later, I've been in the mood for military type thrillers and while perusing the local store I see Manhunter by Chris Ryan, a name I had all but forgotten. The blurb immediately interested me; a special forces regiment dedicated to taking out organized crime. I love true crime and crime fiction, plus my hankering for military thrillers seemed like a perfect match. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. I've read the kind of "airport thrillers" people would compare Ryan to before, and this seems pretty subpar even by that standard. 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. Delivery with Standard Australia Post usually happens within 2-10 business days from time of dispatch. Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe. In the beginning of March 2009, Ryan admitted that John Pilger who was the foreign correspondent discovered his plans of training the Khmer Rogue at the Far East. They were sent home and made to return the 10,000 pounds they had been given to pay for accommodation and food. Bravo Two Zero
