Rezensionen / Stimmen
Tensions rise to boiling point . . . Gardner cuts to the molten core of a modern flashpoint in an electric thriller. * THE SUN (on Invasion) * Everything is impressive in this masterly account . . . exhilarating (if alarming) topicality. * SUNDAY TIMES (on Invasion) * A genuinely unnerving and fast-paced race-against-time thriller . . . its potent combination of Tom Clancy-style hi-tech military and naval manoeuvring and a John Le Carre-like espionage thriller rings all too true . . . highly recommended. * IRISH INDEPENDENT (on Invasion) * Fast, taut, tense, accurate. A terrific read. -- FREDERICK FORSYTH (on Crisis) Gardner skilfully mixes knowledge garnered as the BBC's security correspondent with breathless action. * THE TIMES (on Ultimatum) *

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Born in 1961, Frank Gardner has been the BBC's Security Correspondent since 2002. He holds a degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies. In 2004, while filming in Saudi Arabia, he was ambushed by terrorists, shot multiple times and left for dead. He survived and returned to active news reporting within a year. He still travels extensively. Awarded an OBE in 2005 for services to journalism, Frank published his bestselling memoir, Blood and Sand, in 2006. His first novel, the thriller Crisis, which introduced readers to SIS operative Luke Carlton, was a No.1 bestseller. The second Luke Carlton thriller, Ultimatum, was also a Sunday Times top 10 bestseller, as was the third, Outbreak. Frank Gardner lives in London.
