With Saddam Husseinโs invasion of Kuwait, a brutal war is on the horizonโฆ
Iraq, 1990
Ex-SAS Captain, Mark Falcon, is now a freelance journalist reporting on military disputes in the Middle East. Since Saddam Husseinโs invasion of Kuwait, he has been based in Iraq, reporting on the conflict.
Which is how he finds himself in the right place at the right time when his former boss, Colonel Harry Killian, calls in a favour.
Killian knows Falcon is still the most efficient one-man fighting machine heโs ever known, and he needs Falcon to rescue an Iraqi defector who has been sitting on Saddamโs military council and feeding the UK and US army planned tactics of the Iraqi Army.
Western armies are posed to invade Iraq and there is only a short window available to flee the country before it becomes a warzone.
Falcon not only needs to rescue the agent, he has been tasked with getting a British diplomatโs son out of the country, but Richard Campbell wonโt leave without his Iraqi girlfriend.
As the bombs start raining down on the city, Falcon is rapidly running out of time.
Can Falcon complete his missions and get out alive? Or will this deadly assignment be his lastโฆ?..M.F
