IT'S JUST YOU AND THE BOMB
A ticking bomb of a book; breathtakingly tense, fast-paced and incredibly moving. The best war memoir I've read in years -- Andy McNab
You might expect an account of disabling bombs to be repetitive or overly technical, but Hunter's is neither. Each incident is fascinatingly different and edge-of-the-seat dramatic, and Hunter recounts them with vividness and clarity * Daily Mail *
Thoughtful, gripping and engaging... The emotion, the immediacy, the adrenalin rush of what it feels like to walk towards a device that may or may not blow at any minute taking you and everyone in the proximity with it packs an authentic punch -- Kate Mosse * The Times *
Chris Hunter is a very brave man. His work couldn't be more terrifying or necessary * Daily Mirror *
Action-packed... A breathtaking story of courage and survival * News of the World *
One of the best true stories you'll ever read - and better than fiction can ever hope to be. Don't start it tonight if you have to get up for work in the morning -- Conn Iggulden
This is a book that sets its sights high from the off - and boy does it deliver * London Lite *
Will do for Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush what McNab did for Saddam and George Senior * Evening Standard *
You're left in awe and wondering if we're paying Our Boys enough for going through this kind of hell. And doubting it * Books Sport *
Packed with such powerful descriptions of coming under fire that at times you begin to imagine you have picked up the script for a Hollywood action movie * London Lite *
