Synopsis

When an undercover operation monitoring the Real IRA goes horrifically wrong, British Intelligence turns to the one man who can get their agent out: Stratton, an SBS operative with a lethal reputation. It’s a dangerous race against time if the Real IRA get to the Republic before Stratton gets to the Real IRA, his colleague is as good as dead. But the battle in the Northern Ireland borders is just the beginning. For there can only be one way the Real IRA knew about the British agent someone inside MI5 is tipping them off.

About this title

About the Author:

A former member of the elite Special Boat Service & 14 Int., N. Ireland's top-secret SAS detachment, he left after more than a decade of operational service & went into the private security 'circuit'. His SBS exploits were documented in his 1st book, the bestselling First Into Action.

Review:

Duncan Falconer's cracking debut novel... Falconer is a former member of the SBS and his book is packed with authentic details. Inevitably, he'll be compared to Andy McNab, but I'd say Falconer has the edge. His characterisation is superior and he knows exactly when and how to ratchet up the tension * Mail on Sunday *
