Synopsis

The novel highlights the adventures of Gord Brown who is thrown out of the SAS for insubordination. After his expulsion, Gord Brown lives on a failing salmon farm in the Scottish highlands. To his surprise, three Guatemalan Indians track him down. For them, he represents the last hope of freedom. They come to recruit a fighting man to lead an uprising against the brutal military dictatorship which is killing their people. Gord journeys with them to Cuba, then on with a small band of men to a rough landing strip in the forest of Guatemala.

About this title

About the Author:

Gerald Seymour exploded onto the literary scene in 1975 with the massive bestseller HARRY'S GAME. The first major thriller to tackle the modern troubles in Northern Ireland, it was described by Frederick Forsyth as 'like nothing else I have ever read' and it changed the landscape of the British thriller forever. Gerald Seymour was a reporter at ITN for fifteen years. He covered events in Vietnam, Borneo, Aden, the Munich Olympics, Israel and Northern Ireland. He has been a full-time writer since 1978. Gerald was interviewed recently on Andrew Marr's Sleuths, Spies and Sorcerers on BBC TV.

Review:

Moving and gripping. Seymour's chacter are all beautifully drawn. The dialogue is so real you can hear it and the plot is as tight as a drum. It is tempting to say that Seymour is at the height of his powers... He just gets better and better * Today * Unstoppable momentum * Daily Telegraph * An exciting novel that is full of inside knowledge... It's time for Gerald Seymour to be recognised as ranking right up there with Graham Greene * New York Times *
