The story behind the origins of this vital service is a fascinating tale. For many years the NHS cast aside the idea of a German-style Helicopter Emergency Medical Service citing the cost of such a revolutionary idea. It took the imagination of the author and the skills of a daring NHS manager to literally get the idea off the ground. Then, with a dedicated band of paramedics, doctors and nurses plus a huge contribution from the family run Bond Helicopters, they set about turning an idea into a fully functioning and highly effective operation they christened FIRST AIR AMBULANCE. The idea was so successful that in the years that followed more and more units were established. One pound from each book sold will be donated to the CAAST charity.

Retired detective Jack Mawgan is about to fulfil his ambition to become a qualified paramedic when an incident involving a young Muslim found naked on a Cornish road in broad daylight draws him into the sinister world of 'Extraordinary Rendition'. This campaign was run by the US security services and involved their operatives in torture in their search for information about Al Qaeda's activities. Jack's involvement sets off a chain of events that leads him to the depths of the African interior in pursuit of a self-proclaimed jihadist fomenting rebellion and heavily involved in the drugs trade.
