Críticas:

"A beautifully descriptive fly-on-the-wall look at the daily work of the EOD men...For those with a fascination with international terrorism and the deadly IEDs that have become its weapon of choice, this books will offer a unique insight." (Independent)

"Gets underneath the skin of the terrorists and, like the bombs he made safe, gets to to the heart of what makes them tick" (News of the World)

Reseña del editor:

BOSNIA...NORTHERN IRELAND...IRAQ...AFGHANISTAN...

For the past twenty years, some of the most dangerous places on earth. And for Major Chris Hunter, just some of the places where he has defused bombs in his ceaseless battle against terrorism and the bombmakers.

This is the story of a teenager with no hopes who joined the army at sixteen and went on to become one of the most successful counter-terrorism operators in the world.

This is the story of survival when all the odds are stacked against you, when every second feels like a lifetime, when the sound of your heart beating is as deafening as a ticking bomb.

This is what it's like, day in day out, to take your life and the lives of others in your own hands, and make a difference.

And this is what it costs to live that life...
