Everyone makes mistakes. Not everyone does their duty.
Summer 1988.
Jamie Ryder had a promising Army career ahead of him. Now he’s in a rut.
He has quit his regiment and his girlfriend has dumped him.
But his life is in for a radical and unexpected change on his return to England.
A chance meeting with Ruth at a cocktail party stirs him into action.
While Ryder poses as a freelance journalist in the Scilly Isles, Ruth persuades him to help sail an Irish yacht to a port in northern Spain.
The former soldier unwittingly plunges headfirst into a gun-running operation between the Irish Republican Army and Basque Separatists.
The Basques suspect that Ryder is an infiltrator acting on behalf of British Intelligence.
Ryder soon realises his life is in danger. He should walk away, but he doesn’t.
John Reid Young lives in the Canary Islands. He runs a guided tour business and writes historical travel stories.
