Book description
In Afghanistan, elite operative John Stratton leads a raid on a remote
compound, leaving no survivors. Days later, in London, Stratton is
contacted by an old friend in military intelligence with a curious
message about being hunted by an assassin.
When the officer vanishes, Stratton is drawn into a desperate race to
secure a missing nuclear warhead that has been stolen from the Pakistan
military. Against an unknown enemy, he begins a heart-stopping search
for the bomb that will take him from a Taliban hideout just a few miles
outside Bagram Air Base to the crowded streets of Manhattan.
A terrifying and authentic vision of the special forces world by an
ex-SBS operative, this is Duncan Falconer's most gripping thriller to
date. Falconer, a former Special Services man himself, knows his stuff
and if you like action, this is for you Catholic Herald Duncan
Falconer grew up in Battersea in London, spending the first ten years of
his life in an orphanage. He became a Special Forces operative at the
age of nineteen (it is unlikely there will ever be one as young again).
He is now a successful screenwriter in Los Angeles.
