Chapter 1: The victim is not innocent

“Your murder victim was not an innocent, naive woman. She was on our terrorist watch list. The fact that she escaped from Basra and lived a normal life in London buggers belief, but she was planted here by a foreign government to wreck the Taliban peace negotiations, William.”

That simple statement triggers alarm bells throughout the British Intelligence community. Recognizing that their operations security has been breached and that their deep cover assets are in jeopardy, the Shaddad Committee scrambles to neutralize the threat, but soon discover a larger threat.

Their unknown enemy intends to further destabilize the Middle East by launching simultaneous terrorist incidents in the United States and in Pakistan which will trigger an immediate military response by the United States and trigger a bloodbath.

In desperation, Sir William McTavish summons Lt. Col. Christopher Nobriega to secretly neutralize the planned attack in Quetta, Pakistan with the aid of a combative Inspector Alexandra Russell from the Counter Terrorism Command (SO15).

Christopher must also recover two deep cover agents in Taliban territory and identify the nation and / or corporation behind the planned attacks within six days.

As he battles his way through Lebanon, Afghanistan, Pakistan and regions of Iraq, he discovers that the dangers and treachery he faces are not on the battlefield.

Instead, the greatest threat comes from the corporate boardrooms that profit from every war – the suppliers and weapons makers from the nations of the UN Security Council who play by only one rule – profit at any cost.

Can they get to the mastermind before innocents are slaughtered for profit?
