DESCRIPTION
A Dramatic Personal Account Of Life After The SBS
Action-packed memoir featuring real life experiences from the most dangerous places on earth, including a literal minefield. First Into Action Again is a sequel to Duncan Falconer’s best-selling first autobiography, First Into Action.
“I took Ted Turner, Kofi Annan and Tony Bourdain into Palestine, shook handswith Yasser Arafat, took Anderson Cooper into the mountains of the Congo insearch of a rebel general, a CNN crew into the heart of battle in Liberia, flew toHuman Rights Watch in Moscow to help it manage the most dangerous pieceof information it has ever possessed, serious enough to threaten the lives ofeveryone involved.”Duncan Falconer has survived five explosions, two only just, been shot at on numerousoccasions, chased by machete wielders, hunted by man and beast, survived drowningonce, a faulty parachute opening once, an air-crash, several vehicle crashes, blacked outwith anaphylactic shock, walked through a minefield, barely escaped capture by fanaticalterrorists when others were caught and executed, and experienced close calls so manytimes he has forgotten most of them.First Into Action Again is a sequel to Falconer’s best-selling first autobiography, First IntoAction. The story begins where the first book ended, with him leaving the Special BoatService after a slew of adventures, to embark on what turned out to be a new life filledwith many more exciting exploits, more than he had in the SBS, where he was often,once again, the first into action.Within days of leaving the SBS, he was recruited by a company that conducted specialisedtasks, many of them filtered down through MoD sources. Tasks included heading alone intothe hills of northern Spain to spend many months training Basque police recruits and turningthem into an anti-terrorist force to combat the notorious terrorist organisation, ETA. Anothertask, that came from British military intelligence, was as a lone undercover operator on theQE2 during a terrorist threat on a transit from Southampton to New York.Falconer has spent the last 15 years operating in the most dangerous places on earth whileat the same time writing 10 novels, most of them based on real life experiences.
