Christopher Chance

    Christopher Chance è uno scrittore il cui lavoro è profondamente informato da una vita di esperienze straordinarie. La sua prosa è plasmata dalla sua prima carriera militare, dove ha affinato le sue abilità nell'intelligence e nell'ingegneria di combattimento. Dopo il congedo, ha esplorato l'imprenditoria nei settori dell'ospitalità e delle arti marziali, ampliando ulteriormente la sua prospettiva.

      The Lone Brit on 13 is a gripping true story of violence, degradation and adventure penned in the confines of a grim Malaga prison cell. Imprisoned for almost two years for drug-smuggling, Christopher Chance reveals the horrors he experienced among cut-throat villains in the netherworld of the Spanish prison system. Chance takes to writing in his dank prison cell in an attempt to escape his surroundings, and recalls various episodes in his life—his time serving as a soldier in Thailand and Malaysia; his involvement with the 3 Para snatch-squad in the 1970s Belfast; and his subsequent descent into drug dealing and trafficking, which culminated in a high-speed boat chase and his imprisonment in a top-security Spanish jail. As the sole British inmate, Chance was a prime target for the intimidating Spanish hardmen who thrived on cruelty and treachery. The Lone Brit on 13 is the genuine account of an adrenalin-addicted Englishman single-handedly defeating intimidation, racism, and potential drug addiction in the bleak surroundings of a Spanish jail.

      The Assassins Code 1
    • Kniha vypráví skutečný příběh muže, který strávil několik let v patrně nejdrsnějším evropském vězení své doby, v madridském Carabanchelu. Christopher Chance je posledním Britem, který tu byl uvězněn a který dokázal v podmínkách této neblaze proslulé španělské věznice přežít. Příběh začíná, když Chance vstupuje do Carabanchelu a okamžitě je vystaven konfrontaci se zvěrstvy páchanými samotnými vězni i vězeňským personálem. Zastrašování a ustavičná šikana španělských cikánů, zločinců a drogových dealerů, vyšinutí bachaři šmelící s chlastem a drogami a krutě trestající své mukly. To vše přinutilo Chanceho vytvořit skupinu vězňů ze všech koutů světa, kteří se spojili proti společnému nepříteli, španělským muklům. V pekle plném nenávisti a strachu se Chancerova banda stala nepřemožitelnou především díky pevné loajalitě, vzájemně prokazované úctě, odvaze a bojové vynalézavosti. Kniha navíc potvrzuje nepsanou pravdu, že se celá řada mezinárodních zločinů připravuje již ve vězeňském prostředí a že tu vznikají pevné partnerské svazky, které pak dlouho přetrvávají. Tento drásavý příběh nepokrytě popisuje vězeňský život v krutém, odporném a zkorumpovaném prostředí španělského Carabanchelu.
