Operation Dark Hour

Operation Dark Hour A Talon Unit Thriller | Book 1 As Kabul falls and the world watches in stunned silence, a covert Australian SAS team is deployed on a mission that doesn't officially exist. Commander Nate Harwood and the elite Talon Unit are tasked with extracting a high-value intelligence asset-codename Nightingale-from the crumbling heart of Afghanistan. But what begins as a daring rescue spirals into a deadly race against time as the team uncovers a betrayal that could collapse Western intelligence operations across the globe. Haunted by past missions and hardened by years in the shadows, Talon Unit must navigate collapsing alliances, rogue operatives, and a ruthless enemy who anticipates their every move. Among the chaos is Victor Maddox, a former ally turned lethal adversary, orchestrating a shadow war from behind the scenes-and he's one step ahead. In a world where loyalty has a price and truth is buried beneath layers of classified lies, Talon Unit fights not only for survival-but for the soul of everything they swore to protect. Operation Dark Hour is the explosive first entry in the Talon Unit series: a gritty, pulse-pounding military thriller packed with sharp tactics, moral complexity, and adrenaline-charged action. Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Mark Greaney, and Matthew Reilly.
