a UN operation in West Africa in the early 2000s.

It was in moments like these — in the heat, the uncertainty, and the thin line between chaos and duty — that the story of United Nation 090 was born.”**

Ingvar Andersson spent years flying for the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross — into places where maps were wrong, runways were broken, and every flight could decide who lived and who did not. His missions took him across war-torn regions of Africa, the deserts of Iraq and Iran, the mountains of Afghanistan, and the unstable borders of Pakistan — including an operation in Sudan that would leave a lasting mark on everyone involved.

He flew surgeons into active conflict zones, evacuated civilians under fire, delivered aid to cut-off communities, and carried negotiators whose arrival could stop — or trigger — the next wave of violence. Every descent was a risk. Every takeoff a decision.

Those years — the radio silence, the night landings, the moments no report ever recorded — became the foundation of the UN 090 thriller trilogy.

The story is fiction.
The reality behind it is not.
