Um þessa hljóðbók
The follow-up to Falconer’s first bestselling autobiography First Into Action
“I took Ted Turner, Kofi Annan and Tony Bourdain into Palestine, shook hands with Yasser Arafat, took Anderson Cooper into the mountains of the Congo in search of a rebel general, a CNN crew into the heart of battle in Liberia, flew to Human Rights Watch in Moscow to help it manage the most dangerous piece of information it has ever possessed, serious enough to threaten the lives of everyone involved...”
Duncan Falconer has survived five explosions, two only just, been shot at on numerous occasions, chased by machete wielders, hunted by man and beast, survived drowning once, a faulty parachute opening once, an air-crash, several vehicle crashes, blacked out with anaphylactic shock, walked through a minefield, barely escaped capture by fanatical terrorists when others were caught and executed, and experienced close calls so many times he has forgotten most of them.
First Into Action Again is a sequel to Falconer’s best-selling first autobiography, First Into Action. The story begins where the first ended, with him leaving the Special Boat Service after a slew of adventures, to embark on what turned out to be a new life filled with many more exciting exploits, more than he had in the SBS, where he was often, once again, the first into action.
Within days of leaving the SBS, he was recruited by a company that conducted specialised tasks, many of them filtered down through MoD sources. Tasks included heading alone into the hills of northern Spain to spend many months training Basque police recruits and turning them into an anti-terrorist force to combat the notorious terrorist organisation, ETA. Another task, that came from British military intelligence, was as a lone undercover operator on the QE2 during a terrorist threat on a transit from Southampton to New York.
Falconer has spent the last 15 years operating in the most dangerous places on earth while at the same time writing 10 novels, most of them based on real life experiences.
