Former SAS corporal and the only man to escape death or capture during the Bravo Two Zero operation in the 1991 Gulf War, Chris Ryan turned to writing thrillers to tell the stories the Official Secrets Act stops him putting in his non-fiction. His novels have gone on to inspire the Sky One series Strike Back.
Born near Newcastle in 1961, Chris Ryan joined the SAS in 1984. During his ten years there he was involved in overt and covert operations and was also sniper team commander of the anti-terrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris Ryan was the only member of an eight-man unit to escape from Iraq, where three colleagues were killed and four captured. It was the longest escape and evasion in the history of the SAS. For this he was awarded the Military Medal.
He wrote about his experiences in the bestseller The One That Got Away, which was adapted for screen, and since then has written three other works of non-fiction, over twenty bestselling novels and a series of children's books.
Rory O'Ryan and Butch Hynes, from Cappahayden on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland, have neither family life or guidance and have depended on each other since they were children. Rory is the smarter of the two; Butch is not so bright. They start selling a little marijuana and hashish up and down the Southern Shore until Rory decides to go bigger with their little enterprise and realizes they need their own set of wheels.
When they finally get a car, Butch plans an armed robbery at Scotiabank in the town of Goulds for a one-time big haul of cash and unintentionally gets Rory involved. After the robbery and an unsuccessful police chase, the two end up at the bottom of Shoal Bay Road.
Before they turn themselves into the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Ferryland. Rory and Butch have to get to Cape Race Road in Portugal Cove South to get to a large stash of drugs they have buried before one of Rory's pushers takes the drugs. The only possible way of getting to the stash unseen is by walking on the traditional footpaths during the day and walking through communities at night.
What begins as a walk in the woods soon deteriorates into a series of challenges and adversities that require flexibility and innovative thinking before the pair emerge from the trail, older but not necessarily wiser.
