The pilots are dead and the cockpit door is locked in this “gritty and authentic” terror plot thriller (Andy McNab).

Tristie Merritt leads a renegade band of ex-soldiers. Their daring scam will take millions from a furious British government and give it to veterans’ charities—if MI5 doesn’t catch up with them first. But faced with the ultimate terrorist outrage at 36,000 feet, MI5 and the CIA find that Merritt is their one hope of preventing global disaster.

Giới thiệu tác giả

Born in London and raised in Fiji, Charlie Charters spent his working life based in Hong Kong and now lives near Malton, North Yorkshire, which rightly considers itself the horse-racing capital of the known world. One of his first memories is of traveling with his mother, an award-winning filmmaker, as she tried to piece together the rackety strands of Somerset Maugham’s life-changing treks through the Pacific. Those trips—and being caned on his thirteenth birthday by a headmaster whose own father, it turned out, had similarly thrashed the schoolboy Roald Dahl—somehow gave him an early desire to become a writer. However, he did very little about this until turning forty, by which time he had worked, variously, as a racing tipster, war reporter, radio DJ, and award-winning TV producer and presenter. He is married with four children and a Labrador that likes to watch the news. Bolt Action is his first novel.
