Description
The Hijack Two hundred miles south of the Devon coastline, a fanatical group of Islamic Jihad fighters have captured a supertanker laden with oil ? and have set it on a deadly collision course with an English coastal town. SBS operative Stratton is given the near-impossible task of stopping them. And the stakes are raised as a former Russian Spetsnaz agent gets involved ? his brother was killed on board the tanker and he wants revenge...The Operative Stratton's closest friend in Iraq is killed on operation, leaving behind a grieving wife and child. When the widow moves to Los Angeles she is brutally murdered and Stratton's godson placed in state custody. Stratton fires off on a private operation of revenge and uncovers an FBI plot to hide the crime and a connection with powerful Eastern European crime syndicates. Hunted by the CIA, FBI and several Albanian mobsters, Stratton has to use all his skills to pursue his private war...
