✦ Synopsis

Matt Drake and his Ghost Squadron are enjoying a relatively calm lull in their lives when they learn that someone has stolen a nuclear weapon from an obscure facility in the old Soviet Union. The powers-that-be want Drake’s team on the mission and, within hours, they are winging their way from Washington, DC on another lethal, breakneck, thrill-filled adventure.
Their quest takes them across Afghanistan, Pakistan and on through Serbia, Turkmenistan and Iran, the nuke eluding them every step of the way. They encounter tribal warlords, militia leaders, terrorists and mad generals with control over entire armies.
Meanwhile, in London, a shadowy organisation awaits the arrival of the nuke, determined to teach the British government and the unsuspecting public the ultimate lesson.
With danger on all sides, and far outside their comfort zones, with lunatics and killers and self-proclaimed military leaders in their sights, Matt Drake and his team become the accidental hope of the innocent as they close in on the bomb’s final destination…London...M.F
