Description
The world is about to change...In the months leading up to 9/11 the intelligence community is on high alert for terrorist threats. Former army officer Anthony Taverner is recruited by the Secret Intelligence Service for an apparently straightforward mission: to destroy a cache of the CIA's precious Stinger missiles in Taliban-held Afghanistan. But in the kaleidoscopic world of spying, nothing is what it seems. And as the struggle to avert a catastrophe begins, Taverner's allegiance is to an authority he must keep secret from even his closest allies.
Reviews / Votes
'Fast-paced and strikingly authentic' Stella Rimington, former Director-General of MI5 'As sharp as Frederick Forsyth - as exotic as Wilbur Smith' Jason Goodwin, author of The Janissary Tree Praise for An Unexpected Light: 'I am sure this book will soon be among the classics of travel' Doris Lessing Praise for Mirrors of the Unseen: 'Like Byron, Elliot displays a daring approach to form ... indubitably important. It is a work of profound thought, imagination, passion and ambition. It should be widely read' GuardianMore details
