The Assassins Code 1

by Christopher Chance

Adventure; subterfuge, suspense, eroticism, bloodletting, and characters to die it's all here, an engrossing page by page journey by an abrasive, new heroic Brit, initially manipulated by the shadowy chiefs of the British Secret Intelligence Service, but slips his noose in Afghanistan to become a hero to the Mujahideen, the IRA and the British Establishment simultaneously. The webs of intrigue stretch from Berlin to the Hindu Kush and across to Ireland where the plot thickens and the heroines are the hidden lionesses in the jungle of merciless terrorism. Chance's vital pen takes us through the breeding grounds of undercover intelligence operators to mix with terrorists; arms and drug dealers, murderous mountain men and the cold, cunning men and women dedicated to their cause. This is the authentic, ruthless pen of the professional the anti-interrogation instructor, the Small Arms School weapons instructor, the Black Belt martial arts teacher and convicted high seas smuggler writing the revelatory compelling account of action during obscure IRA activity spanning the early seventies and the coming of age of the narco-terrorists when the author himself was an Intelligence Operator in Northern Ireland.

Christopher Chance was born in Widnes during World War Two and was educated at St. Bede’s school and St. John Fisher and St. Thomas More School.

He was an Anti-interrogation instructor; a Small Arms School Corps weapons instructor and an explosives and demolitions expert (Combat Engineer grade 1).
On leaving the armed forces he entered the Licensed Trade and became a restaurateur; a member of the Guild of Sommeliers and a member of the British Institute of Innkeepers. After several years as a restaurateur, he left England to set up his martial-arts business with his wife in Spain where they opened two schools of martial-arts on the Costa del Sol. His interest in the martial-arts started many years ago when he trained at the Singapore Karate Club in 1965 and his interest grew throughout his military career and on through his adult life. He holds dan grades (Black Belt) in ju-jitsu and karate and was the international representative for the World Combat Federation in Spain and Portugal. He adopted the use of the black Gi after returning from seminars in the USA.
