Assassin (John Stratton)

In Afghanistan, elite operative John Stratton leads a raid on a remote compound, leaving no survivors. Days later, in London, Stratton is contacted by an old friend in military intelligence with a curious message about being hunted by an assassin. When the officer vanishes, Stratton is drawn into a desperate race to secure a missing nuclear warhead that has been stolen from the Pakistan military. Against an unknown enemy, he begins a heart-stopping search for the bomb that will take him from a Taliban hideout just a few miles outside Bagram Air Base to the crowded streets of Manhattan. A terrifying and authentic vision of the special forces world by an ex-SBS operative, this is Duncan Falconer's most gripping thriller to date. ### Review "A gripping and authentic view of life and death in the dangerous world of private protection."� �*Soldier* on *Traitor* ### About the Author **Duncan Falconer**,�a former member of the elite Special Boat Service (SBS)�of the Royal Marines, left after�more than�a decade of operational service to work in�private security.�His SBS exploits were documented in the bestselling *First into Action*.
