The easy day was yesterday

From his cage in a putrid, overcrowded Indian gaol, Paul Jordan reflects on a lilfe lived on the edge and curses the miscalculation that robbed himof his freedom. His childhood amrred by the loss of his father and brother, produces a young man hell bent on being the best - an ambition he achieves by being selected to join the elite SAS. He survives the gut-wrenching training regime, deployment to the jungles of Asia and the horrors of genocide in Rwanda before leaving the army to embark on a carrer as a securit adviser. His new life sees him pursuing criminals and gun-toting bandits in Papua New Guinea and the Solomns, protecting CNN newsmen as the US 7th Cavalry storms into Baghdad with the outbreak of the Iraq War, and facing death on massive scal as he accompanies reporters into the devastated Indonesian town of Banda Aceh, flattened by the Boxing Day tsunami. -- back cover.
