What to expect

John Porter, hero of the original Strikeback novel and TV series returns in an exciting adventure, when old enemies attack the SAS.

1999. A bitterly cold morning in the Brecon Beacons, and the soldiers trying out for SAS Selection are preparing to face their toughest test yet. Overseeing the soldiers is John Porter: once a promising young Blade, now a broken man and a drunk, seeing out his days in the Regiment Training Wing.

But before the Fan Dance can begin, six masked gunmen carry out a devastating attack. Dozens of soldiers are killed. In the aftermath of the massacre, and with a government desperate for action, Porter and another surviving operator, John Bald, are taken to a secretive briefing in London. Their orders - to hunt down and kill those responsible for the attack.

What follows is a deadly game of kill or be killed as Bald and Porter lead a Strike Team across Europe on a blood-soaked mission of revenge. But as they draw closer to their ultimate target, the men discover that there is a greater threat - much closer to home...

Critics Review

  • Praise for Chris Ryan

    :
  • [Ryan] is reliably capable of depicting international crises and special forces operations in plausible and gripping detail.

    Sunday Times
  • Chris Ryan has always been underrated as a novelist of ideas… a welter of treachery and mayhem.

    Daily Telegraph
  • Ryan… became so expert as a modern thriller writer that it is easy to underestimate his talents…He chooses fiercely up-to-the-minute plots, and laces them with an exceptional eye for detail and insider knowledge…Fearsome and fast-moving…much more than a conventional thriller.
