The gripping, breathtaking, new military thriller from the ex-SAS author of ONCE A PILGRIM
James Deegan MC spent five years in the Parachute Regiment, and seventeen years in the SAS. He served for most of that time in a Sabre Squadron, from Trooper to Squadron Sergeant Major, and saw almost continuous service on operations in Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Africa, Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. He fought in both Gulf Wars, and was on both occasions amongst the first Coalition soldiers to cross the border into Iraq. Twice decorated for gallantry he was described by his commanding officer as 'one of the most operationally-experienced SAS men of his era'.
Praise for The Angry Sea: ‘He ploughs the same furrow as Chris Ryan
and Andy McNab and is easily their story-telling equal’ Daily
Express ‘James Deegan ensconces himself in the first rank of action
thriller writers.’ The Times ‘Packed with authentic detail about
the defence and intelligence communities, it rattles along at a
furious pace, never takings its foot off the accelerator. A
terrific story splendidly told’ Daily Mail ‘**** . . . [A] top
actioner]’ Weekend Sport ‘[Deegan] knows how to tell an unnervingly
realistic story – and The Angry Sea is involving from the start and
gripping to the end’ Choice ‘Deegan, a twice-decorated SAS veteran,
makes Carr an entirely credible three-dimensional hero, with earthy
wit and appetites’ Daily Express ‘Edinburgh-born Joshua Manning is
very well equipped to deliver, as adapt at Geordie and Scots
profanities as he is at hoarse Chechen and sibilant Arabic.’ The
Times Praise for James Deegan: ‘You couldn’t make it up. Brilliant’
Jeffrey Archer ‘Inevitably Deegan will be compared to Andy McNab
and Chris Ryan, but he adds his own brand of contemporary
authenticity. Carr is a hero for our times.’
Daily Mail ‘As close as it gets to the real thing’
Mark 'Billy' Billingham MBE . Former SAS Warrant Officer and star
of TV's SAS Who Dares Wins ‘James Deegan writes with masterful
authority and unsurpassed experience as he transports the reader
deep into the troubles of Northern Ireland – and then brings them
back up to date with a dramatic bang’ Chantelle Taylor, Combat
Medic and author of Battleworn ‘authentic detail and heart stopping
narrative grips you from the outset bringing the shadowy world of
today’s special forces bursting in to life in a way that other
authors of the genre couldn’t hope for….the best thriller I’ve read
in years’
