Book description
Sam Packer, hero of Firehawk and The Lucifer Network, has a new
assignment that will combine all his diplomatic and survival skills. An
aging, wealthy Japanese businessman, Tetsuo Kamata, wants to rescue an
ailing British car company, but the moment the announcement is made,
death threats are made against Kamata by a former prisoner-of -war,
Peregrine Harrison, who was tortured on the infamous Burma Railway. For
the last five decades, Harrison has been the leader of a British-based
cult. Packer can't believe that at the age of 77 Harrison has the
strength or will to exact revenge, but he reckons without Harrison's
cult adherents, one of whom is a ruthless ex-SAS operative now involved
in drug smuggling in the Burma triangle. Packer learns that Kamata will
be hit while visiting a new factory site in Burma and is flown out under
cover to prevent a tragedy. Kamata is kidnapped and Packer is soon in
the jungle, both hunter and hunted as he searches for the missing man
and is tracked by his enemies. The Burma Legacy combines Geoffrey
Archer's immaculate research with heart stopping action. Geoffrey
Archer's gripping thrillers are inspired by a deep knowledge of
international intrigue gathered during more than 25 years of reporting
for ITV's News at Ten. The Burma Legacy is the third novel featuring MI6
agent Sam Packer, who first appeared in Fire Hawk and The Lucifer
Network. It follows his other international bestsellers: Java Spider,
Scorpion Trail, Eagle Trap, Shadow Hunter and Sky Dancer.
