Book description
The world is about to change…
In the months leading up to 9/11 the intelligence community is
on high alert for terrorist threats. Former army officer Anthony
Taverner is recruited by the Secret Intelligence Service for an
apparently straightforward mission: to destroy a cache of the CIA's
precious Stinger missiles in Taliban-held Afghanistan.
But in the kaleidoscopic world of spying, nothing is what it
seems.
And as the struggle to avert a catastrophe begins, Taverner's
allegiance is to an authority he must keep secret from even his
closest allies…
