This is the true story of David Everett: renegade soldier, outlaw, and fugitive. An SAS soldier bored with life in the Regiment during peace-time, Dave was lured to the jungles or Burma by the promise of seeing action. There, he became swept up in a war between the Burmese military junta and the oppressed Karn people. Dave learned very quickly about fighting, loyalty and bravery. Back in Australia on a mission to raise funds for the Karen, he soon became every government's nightmare; a highly skilled commando on a crime spree. He kidnapped people from their homes, robbed movie theatres and set off the biggest explosion in Australian criminal history. At the height of him infamy, Dave had every cop in the country on the lookout for him. Part larrikin, part enigma, Dave Everett has everyone divided. Is he a freedom fighter or a trained keiller on the loose? A baby-faced everyday bloke or a "lethal war-machine"? A champion of the oppressed or a ruthless criminal? Written during his time in jail, Shadow Warrior is an insider look at a world that thriller writeeres and Hollywood can only imagine.

Binding good. 438pp A far-from-strapping lad from Tasmania, Dave proved everybody wrong by passing the gruelling selection course to join the SAS. Unsatisfied by the regiment, he left to take up the cause of the oppressed Karen people of Burma, becoming a seasoned jungle-fighter in the process. On his return to Australia, Dave became every government's nightmare: a highly skilled special-forces soldier on a crime spree. On a mission to raise funds for the Karen, he kidnapped people from their homes, robbed movie theatres and plotted some of the most audacious crimes ever conceived in Australia. At the height of his infamy, every police officer in the country was on the lookout for him, while the tabloid press fuelled the public's fear of a trained killer gone crazy. Dave was blown up, shot at, bashed, interrogated, tortured and locked in solitary confinement, but nothing diminished his wild streak. While serving his jail sentence, he had time to reflect. In Shadow Warrior, he tells his story with unflinching honesty and larrikin wit.
