Book Description
Gripping new military thriller in the tradition of A FEW GOOD MEN.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
It was the worst military scandal since My Lai - an elite US army special forces team positioned behind enemy lines had violated standing orders and butchered a patrol of 25 Serbian soldiers in cold blood. There were no survivors, half of them were shot in the back of the head, and their leader had been decapitated. There was no explanation, and no obvious motive, but the repercussions were already global. Now Major Sean Drummond has to got to Kosovo and find out just what happened and somehow clear up after this horrific crime. But with CIA obstruction, Army hostility, the murder of a top journalist and a possible traitor in his own crew, Drummond quickly finds himself over his head and under serious fire.

Format:Paperback
A fantastic debut thriller from a former army officer and son of General Alexander Haig, ex-Secretary of State. Funny, compelling and genuinely exciting, this grips from beginning to end, and it's all served up with a beguiling mixture of intelligence and wry wit. With a hilarious and likeably sardonic, wise-cracking narrator, this is top-flight entertainment. Reminiscent of the best of Nelson DeMille, this heralds the emergence of an exciting new talent.

This is an excellent novel.It has shades of the TV series JAG in the main character but the story is engrossing set as it is during recent events.the characters are believeable and the story has several twists and turns before its conclusion.It beats John Grisham hands down and I hope for more adventures of Major Sean Drummond

Format:Hardcover
To be honest, I've had this for a while. A debut thriller from the son of General Alexander Haig, ex-Secretary of State in the US, who is also an ex-army officer? It felt a bit like it would be your standard attempt at a thriller based on who you are rather than what you have written. But I was wrong and this is rather good.
A massacre in during the Bosnian crisis looks like it was the responsibility of a US special forces team and a JAG type lawyer is sent in to uncover the truth. Or rather uncover a convenient truth while avoiding army politics and CIA mis-information. Major Drummond is a great character, sarcastic wise-cracking and with a past that opens great opportunities for further books.
The premise here is an interesting one and the author does not go with an easy resolution or one you might expect. So if you like military drama this is well worth picking up. I'll certainly be looking for more by the author.
