Book description
When Islamic militants infiltrate an elite British counter-narcotics
programme, disaster is averted thanks to SAS veterans John Patterson and
Dusty Miller. But when fallout from the affair threatens to topple the
West's fragile Afghan alliance and expose failings inside the UK's new
crime fighting agency, John and Dusty suddenly find themselves on the
wrong side of the law.
Alone and on the run, one place on earth holds the key to their
innocence: Nuristan, a remote Afghan province and notorious terrorist
haven. But their journey to freedom will thrust them deeper into the
Afghan conflict than they ever imagined. Battling hostile terrain and
Islamic fighters, John and Dusty emerge the unlikely champions of an
ancient community torn apart by al-Qaeda and western forces.
From Bob Shepherd, ex-SAS soldier and bestselling author of The
Circuit, comes an adventure inspired by Rudyard Kipling's The Man Who
Would Be King. An action-packed tale of honour, betrayal and
tribalism, The Infidel is thrilling, poignant and deeply relevant to
one of the bloodiest conflicts of our time.

tactics…one to add to your summer holiday reading list' Soldier
