Product Description

Product Description

Former SAS Captain Will Jackson is a man with nothing to lose. A veteran of the most dangerous missions the Regiment could throw at him, his life was torn apart the day a terrorist attack killed his family. Now he leads a life of grief-stricken obscurity, the world of warfare nothing but a distant memory. People higher up the chain of command have other plans, however. They're in a mess of their own making, and unless they sort it out, thousands of innocent people will pay the price. And so they make Jackson an offer he can't refuse. An offer that will take him straight back into a brutal theatre of war.Only one person can help prevent the disaster that is waiting to happen, and that person is being held by the Taliban insurgency in the depths of a harsh Afghanistan winter. As Will reluctantly prepares to undertake this final mission, he does so in the knowledge that it will stop a devastating terrorist attack - as well as achieve an ulterior motive of his own. But in the murky world of international terrorism, things are very seldom what they seem. And as events begin to unfold, Will starts to learn that someone, somewhere is playing a game with him; that nobody can be trusted; and, that sometimes, you just have to fight fire with fire.

From the Inside Flap

Former SAS Captain Will Jackson is a man with nothing to lose. A veteran of the most dangerous missions the Regiment could throw at him, his life was torn apart the day a terrorist attack killed his family. Now he leads a life of grief-stricken obscurity, the world of warfare nothing but a distant memory.

People higher up the chain of command have other plans, however. They’re in a mess of their own making, and unless they sort it out, thousands of innocent people will pay the price. And so they make Jackson an offer he can’t refuse. An offer that will take him straight back into a brutal theatre of war.

Only one person can help prevent the disaster that is waiting to happen, and that person is being held by the Taliban insurgency in the depths of a harsh Afghanistan winter. As Will reluctantly prepares to undertake this final mission, he does so in the knowledge that it will stop a devastating terrorist attack – as well as achieve an ulterior motive of his own.

But in the murky world of international terrorism, things are very seldom what they seem. And as events begin to unfold, Will starts to learn that someone, somewhere is playing a game with him; that nobody can be trusted; and that sometimes, you just have to fight fire with fire… --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great page turning stuff, 13 Jun 2009
By J. H. R. Cornell (Guildford) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have enjoyed Chris Ryan or Andy McNab books in the past, I am sure you will enjoy this.

The plot is fairly standard stuff, former SAS soldier hunts down evil terrorist who is about to wreak havoc on London.

There are plenty of twists and turns in the plot and the book shows that not all baddies are as bad as them seem.

The book is very readable and a great page turner. I think it took me a couple of days to read and I found myself picking it up whenever I could.

Why only 4 stars rather than 5? It is very samey compared with the previous books and I didn't have that sense of sadness that I have when I finish an excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars compelling read, 13 Dec 2008
By L. Leentvaar "Double Dutch" (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Firefight (Hardcover)
This is the best Ryan book to date.
It is a most compelling read with enough twists in the plot to keep on reading well into the wee hours. By the time you're done reading and put down the book, I came to realise that the bottom line story in this book could well have happened.

3.0 out of 5 stars Would make a good film but ....
I bought this book because of its good reviews and, to tell the truth, I was a bit disappointed. It was atmospheric at times, exciting at times too, but I didn't find the plot... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Standard McNab
Exactly what you'd expect from this author. It has an air of truth about it, but is certainly no boring documentary. Great read as usual.
