About this audiobook
Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But will the SAS locate their target and make it out of the jungle alive?
In the Central American republic of Guatemala, government-sponsored torture and mass murder has reduced the Mayan Indian population to a despairing acquiescence. After five hundred years of struggle it seems as if the conqueror’s peace can at last be proclaimed in the capital.
Then a guerrilla leader who the authorities have long believed dead springs mysteriously back to life. No loyal Guatemalan can identify him, and the government is compelled to seek help elsewhere, from one of the two SAS soldiers who helped mediate a hostage crisis with the guerrilla almost fifteen years earlier.
To the government in Whitehall it appears a straightforward enough exercise, but for the soldier and his comrades the mission soon turns into a nightmare of impossible choices. The land of Guatemala, magical and cruel by turns, will prove much easier to enter than to escape…

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A much needed story that reveals the British involvement in Guatemala’s massacre of the Maya indigenous -ironically aiding even the rebels - by displacing them off their ancestral lands for foreign agricultural development. The SAS stationed in Belize continuously violated international human rights- approved by Prime Minister Thatcher without repudiation. Many witnesses to mass killings- providing material evidence exposing the Guatemalan Army’s murders of helpless villagers, who came forward to expose them were murdered. Katy Doyle, archivist , collecting indisputable evidence since 1999, is the best resource for further reading. I lived in Guatemala from 1996 to 1997, both in Antigua and in the Rio Dulce region where upon I became personally acquainted with the stories of MI6/SAS and The School Of Americas mercenary militia operations in Central America. Tragically, today The Land Of Eternal Spring is controlled by drug/ lords operating without impunity by a corrupted president.
