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...
