TERENCE STRONG

With a background in journalism and military research, Terence Strong wrote the manuscripts of two unpublished action-adventure thrillers before WHISPER WHO DARES. It was snapped up by Hodder & Stoughton and became an instant bestseller in 1982, with some 2 million copies sold to date.

That first authentic SAS thriller was followed by three more about different activities of the world-famous Special Air Service Regiment.

Those well-researched international storylines expanded to cover the exciting and unknown realms of counter-terrorism, espionage, bomb-disposal, hostage negotiation, ship-hijacking, narcotics, assassination and international affairs.

His eighteenth and latest thriller ICE ISLAND (published by Silver Fox Press) is the sequel to WORD OF WAR, covering the assignments of feisty journalist Jo Brampton and E Sqn SAS bodyguard, James Royce. During white-knuckle action in the treacherous Russian taiga, their simmering relationship is tested to its limits.
