Andy McNab

In 1983 Andy McNab was assigned to B Squadron, one of the four Sabre Squadrons of the SAS, and within it to Air Troop, otherwise known as Seven Troop. The links they forged then bound them inextricably together, but the things they saw and did during that time would take them all to breaking point in the years that were to follow.

Their mission: To take out the scuds. Eight went out. Five came back. Their story had been closed in secrecy. Until now. They were British Special Forces, trained to be the best. In January 1991 a squad of eight men went behind the Iraqi lines on a top secret mission. It was called Bravo Two Zero. On command was Sergeant Andy McNab. -They are the true unsung heroes of the war.- -- Lt. Col. Steven Turner, American F-15E commander. Dropped into -scud alley- carrying 210-pound packs, McNab and his men found themselves surrounded by Saddam's army. Their radios didn't work. The weather turned cold enough to freeze diesel fuel. And they had been spotted. Their only chance at survival was to fight their way to the Syrian border seventy-five miles to the northwest and swim the Euphrates river to freedom. Eight set out. Five came back. -I'll tell you who destroyed the scuds -- it was the British SAS. They were fabulous.- -- John Major, British Prime Minister. This is their story. Filled with no-holds-barred detail about McNab's capture and excruciating torture, it tells of men tested beyond the limits of human endurance... and of the war you didn't see on CNN. Dirty, deadly, and fought outside the rules.

For to et halvt år siden var Nick Stone på mission i Syrien for at kidnappe en formodet terrorist. Med sig havde han en række barske fyre og en kvinde, Sarah, som Nick tidligere havde haft et forhold til. Operationen slog fejl, da Sarah under en skudveksling dræbte den mand, de skulle have bortført. Nu er Sarah forsvundet, og Nick, som arbejder for den britiske efterretningstjeneste, får til opgave at opspore hende. Ifølge myndighederne udgør Sarah i dag en alvorlig risikofaktor, og Nick får ordre til at dræbe Sarah, hvis det lykkes ham at finde hende. Det gør det, men Sarah beretter, at hun har infiltreret en gruppe terrorister, som planlægger et attentat mod Netanyahu og Arafat under et topmøde med Præsident Clinton i Det Hvide Hus, og at de må sætte alt på et bræt for at afværge mordet.
