Born in Morecambe, England, into a military family, Nigel Seed grew up hearing his father’s tales of adventure during the Second World War which kindled his interest in military history and storytelling. He received a patchy education, as he and his family followed service postings from one base to another. Perhaps this and the need to constantly change schools contributed to his odd ability to link unconnected facts and events to weave his stories. Nigel later joined the Army, serving with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers in many parts of the world. Upon leaving he joined the Ministry of Defence during which time he formed strong links with overseas armed forces, including the USAF, and cooperated with them, particularly in support of the AWACS aircraft. He is married and lives in Spain; half way up a mountain with views across orange groves to the Mediterranean. The warmer weather helps him to cope with frostbite injuries he sustained in Canada, when taking part in the rescue effort for a downed helicopter on a frozen lake.

“The task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you.” Nigel Seed's 160 Degrees East: A Fight For Survival And The Need To Right A Terrible Wrong is an engaging military novel. Major Jim Wilson and his team are given an assignment by the British Prime Minister to retrieve a U.S. prototype military tank that’s missing in Russian territory. The Russians are aware of their clandestine mission so Jim agrees to their proposal, angry that he and his team were double-crossed. While traveling deep into the mountains of British Columbia, the soldiers meet Megan, an unassuming woman when unarmed. They engage in combat with ruthless, powerful persons who want the vehicle for themselves, while discovering a nauseating scandal that could shock the world if exposed.
This is the second book I’ve read from the Jim Wilson series by Nigel Seed and thought it was even better than the previous one. It’s a terrific military adventure that has all the right features of wit, double-crossing, and cleverly orchestrated combats that make a good story. Major Jim’s soldiers, Geordie and Ivan, are just as experienced and sharp-minded as Jim. The three make a great team as each has particular skills, compassion, and very dry sense of humour. Nigel Seed also included an informative section about military vehicles, weaponry, ranks and other details that were relevant to the story. Nigel Seed's 160 Degrees East: A Fight For Survival And The Need To Right A Terrible Wrong is an interesting novel.
