The adventure spy thriller The Barrier by survival master Bear Grylls
The star of Man vs. Wilderness and On the Island comes with the third and final book in his thrilling adventure series.
The year is 1945 and the Nazi megalomaniacal plans are in ruins. In the face of defeat and in a last-minute effort to save Hitler's legacy, the High Command hides the German uranium stockpile deep underground, where it is to lie until the Reich one day rises to fight again. In 2018, former SAS soldier Will Jaeger stumbles upon this terrible truth by accident. Uranus, however, disappears in the meantime, and when Jaeger learns that his wife, Ruth, is also missing, he is certain that the enemy has once again taken up the fight. That much uranium in the wrong hands could destroy the world. Jaeger and his team must find him before his worst fears become reality. But the enemy is one step ahead each time, pushing Jaeger into a corner, to the very edge of his strength. The danger is real, and the people holding Ruth want to settle old scores. It's a race against time. And the clock is ticking...
Death will find you if you don't find it first.
Bear Grylls
Bear Grylls (born 7 June 1974) attended Eton College, later studied Spanish and German at the University of West England, and completed his studies at Birkbeck, University of London, where he studied Hispanic Studies. He originally served as a paratrooper in the SAS Special Forces and subsequently led a series of ground-breaking expeditions to the most inhospitable parts of the world, raising millions of dollars for children's charities. At the age of 23, he climbed Mount Everest, the youngest Briton ever to do so. Further successes did not wait long: he circumnavigated Great Britain and the Arctic, dined in a hot air balloon at 7,500 metres, flew over Angel Falls in Venezuela on a paragliding wing and also over the Himalayas.
Grylls' adventure TV shows, such as Man vs. Wilderness or How to Survive, are among the most watched in the world - they have found some 1.2 billion viewers in 200 countries. In addition, Bear Grylls is the author of twenty-two books, including Vzhůru (JOTA Publishers, 2012) and Příběhy rzeczywistčné odvahy (JOTA Publishers, 2014, audiobook 2020). His international bestseller Mud, Sweat and Tears (2011) has so far been translated into thirteen languages. JOTA Publishing House published the book under the title Mud, Sweat and Tears in 2018.
Grylls lives with his wife and three sons alternately on a river houseboat in London and on a remote island off the coast of Wales.
