The Sett is a story that will make your hair stand on end. It follows a man named Alex Goodman who wakes up in a hospital severely beaten and with no memory of who he really is, and how he ended up there. He struggles to find out his identity, and after a year he finally discovers who he really is.
Alex then spends the next nine years of his life seeking revenge for a grave wrong against him, which in turn gets him into deep and even deeper trouble – with the CIA, the Mafia and the most brutal and dangerous people in the underworld.
The story takes the reader into the Jamaican and Pakistani underworld, and how they operate. It takes you into drugs and arms dealing, into money laundering and into all kind of illegal activities – conducted by crime bosses and white-collar criminals alike.
If you are into suspense and thrillers, this book is definitely for you. The story is a true page-turner, taking you into situations you may believe only happen in the movies.
But this is purportedly a true story, which happened to a real Alex Goodman starting from 1984 and continuing for a decade. The story takes Alex from a down-to-earth family man, who lived in a quiet corner of the United Kingdom with no real ambitions, into a world of espionage, killing and drugs that turned him into a fugitive.
After reading, you’ll surely have your own opinion on whether this is fact or fiction. Either way, only an author like Sir Ranulph Fiennes could have mastered the tale he tells here.
The Sett is Fiennes at his best, succeeding on the page as well as he does in his more famous life as a world renowned explorer and adventurer who has been lauded in the record books for his achievements.
