An SAS Novel
The bomb attacks against the embassies in Jakarta and Lagos were the last straw and now Britain and America have decided to hit back; the Afghan terrorists have taken their grievances against the West too far. In the blackest of deep-black operations, Blue Harding and an American oppo are sent deep into Afghanistan to prepare the way. If they are caught they are on their own . . .
Meanwhile the plans for operation Joint Strike are drawn up - a massive helicopter borne raid by an SAS/Delta Force team. Backed up by missile strikes and close air support they have everything that technology can offer.
But the planners have forgotten two vital things: no plan survives contact with the enemy, and technical superiority has counted for nothing twice before in Afghanistan. Can the West's best trained, most lethal fighters succeed in the 21 century where the British Empire and the Soviet war machine failed in the 19th and 20th centuries?
Johnny 'Two Combs' Howard has written another blistering novel of modern military action that makes the most of his detailed knowledge of the very latest in military hardware and his enormous experience of every sort of modern warfare.
