ONE MAN AGAINST THE RUSSIAN MAFIA

Geordie Sharp is asked to undertake an SAS operation so outrageous that his conscience will barely allow him to carry it out.

The ostensible aim of Operation Nimrod is to train a new Spetznaz unit to combat the threat of the Russian Mafia, but Sharp's orders contain a sinister hidden agenda...

When two SAS men are lifted by Mafia agents, the British authorities' secret weapon is turned against London and only Geordie Sharp can save the day.

Ratings and reviews

Lots of fun reading this, it captured me from the off. Its unpredictable and intense story line make this the best Chris Ryan book I've read. However for all of its great story and intence atmosphere I was a little bit disappointed by the ending, it was very abrupt and when I read it back now I feel almost as if Chris just got bored towards the end and wanted to pull the book to a close as quickly as he could. But aside from the end this book is great. I definitely recommend it to you all.

Yet another cracking read. Abrupt ending but fascinating throughout.

Loved reading this
