David Everett – renegade soldier, outlaw, fugitive and, at one time, Australia’s most-wanted man – always liked a bit of action. Here, for the first time, he tells his remarkable story.
A far-from-strapping lad from Tasmania, Dave proved everybody wrong by passing the gruelling selection course to join the SAS Regiment. Unsatisfied with the Regiment, he left to take up the the cause of the oppressed Karen people of Burma, becoming a seasoned jungle fighter in the process.
On his return to Australia, Dave became every government’s nightmare: a highly skilled special-forces soldier going on a crime spree. On a mission to raise funds for the Karen he kidnapped people from their homes, robbed movie theatres and plotted some of the most audacious crimes ever committed in Australia. At the height of Everett’s infamy every police officer in the country was on the lookout for him, while the tabloid press fuelled the public’s fear of a trained killer gone crazy.
Being blown-up, shot-at, starved, bashed, interrogated, tortured and locked in solitary confinement all failed to diminish Dave’s wild streak. While serving his jail sentence, he had time to reflect. In Shadow Warrior, he tells his story with unflinching honesty and larrikin wit.
