About this ebook
It’s 1963. 13-year-old Chris watches ‘Doctor No’ and dreams of emulating his hero: James Bond, 007.
Two years later Chris’ world is shattered when the father he idolises deserts the family leaving him to help support his mother and younger brother. He quits school with no qualifications but miraculously finds a job as a clerical assistant with the Ministry of Defence, hoping that Martinis and Aston Martins will soon follow.
Chris quickly realises however, that clerical assistants never get to be secret agents.
One evening, a chat with a local copper convinces Chris to join the police. Twenty-six years of active service follow until his career is cut short by a car accident leaving him with a broken neck. Medically discharged from the police but still longing for adventurous work, Chris takes a job as a bouncer.
When the BBC comes calling, looking for bouncers to star in ‘Muscle’ - a new documentary series investigating city centre violence - Chris finds himself unexpectedly in the spotlight.
While filming ‘Muscle’ he’s sent to Los Angeles to train as a weapons carrying bodyguard. Impressed by his skills, the organisation invites him to join an elite team of mercenaries tasked with guarding the president of the impoverished Republic of Haiti.
Follow Chris’s remarkable journey from the streets of Bristol to the land of Voodoo, violent revolution and the ever-present spectre of death.
