- Used Book in Good Condition
Visceral and compelling, Eight Lives Down is the most exciting and nerve-jangling work of military non-fiction since Bravo Two Zero.

If fate is against me and Iâ‚¬m killed, so be it, but make it quick and painless. If Iâ‚¬m wounded, donâ‚¬t let me be crippled. But above all, donâ‚¬t let me fuck up the task.

So goes the bomb technicianâ‚¬s prayer before every bomb he defuses. For Chris Hunter, it is a prayer he says many times during his four-month tour of Iraq. His is the most dangerous job in the world â‚¬" to make safe the British sector in Iraq against some of the most hardened and technically advanced terrorists in the world. It is a 24/7 job â‚¬" in the first two months alone, his team defuses over 45 bombs. And the people theyâ‚¬re up against donâ‚¬t play by the Geneva Convention. For them, there are no rules, only results â‚¬" death by any means necessary.

The job of a Bomb Disposal officer is a lonely one. You are alone with the sound of your own breathing and the drumming of your heart in a protective suit in forty-plus degrees of heat. The drawbridge has been pulled up behind you as you advance on your goal. Itâ‚¬s just you and the bomb.

But for Chris Hunter, just when life couldnâ‚¬t get any more dangerous, the stakes are raised again.
