The Silver Fjord - Sam Hall - Bog

A helicopter crash with no wreckage? For Katrina Hagen, who saw it happen, it didn't add up. For David Larsen, it was the beginning of a nightmare in which the murder of his grandfather and his own background as an explosives expert in the U.S. Delta Force combined to make him Norway's most wanted man. Together, the couple are forced on the run among the mountains and fjords of western Norway in the days before mobile phones and satellite navigation - hunted by police and a ruthless businessman desperate to unravel an ancient secret beneath the Jostedal Glacier. It is a secret worth millions of dollars. And only the three of them know of it. That makes it a secret worth killing for. Combining nail-biting excitement and deep research with his award-winning expertise as a filmmaker, he evokes in 'The Silver Fjord' exceptional believability and visual impact. About the AuthorSam Hall is an author, international filmmaker and journalist of nearly 40 years standing. As a Reuter correspondent, he dined with Kings and Presidents - but was subsequently forced by circumstance to live with the homeless on one of London's main railway stations. Nonetheless, his positive approach to life enabled him to extricate himself from paupery and he went on to become News Editor of Europa Magazine, Syndication Editor for Visnews and an on-screen reporter covering the top international stories of the day for ITN's News at Ten. Travelling to more than 90 countries around the world, he has covered various wars, riots and disturbances including the Nigerian-Biafran civil war, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and the Siege of Beirut. A compulsive traveller, he walked as a young man from Barcelona to Copenhagen. More recently, he walked nearly 400 miles across the French-Italian Alps in the footsteps of Hannibal, and from his home in Surrey to Lands End - a distance of 328 miles which he describes in his book 'Blisters'. He has also sailed the North Sea in an open Viking boat and travelled thousands of miles in the High Arctic. Hall's book 'The Fourth World'* is considered a definitive work on the Arctic. He is also a film-maker who, in conjunction with the Norwegian TV and film production companies, Bergefilm and Videomaker Nord, has won several international awards. Many of these films have been shown in more than 50 countries worldwide. Sam Hall is also an accomplished lecturer, presenter and conference host. He is married and lives in Surrey, England.
