About this ebook

A disastrous chain of events causes havoc in the Middle East. The Sphinx, a symbol of Egypt’s ancient history and power, is blown up by terrorists. A visit to Cairo by Iran’s national soccer team ends in a bloodbath. Egyptian missiles sink an Iranian vessel in the Red Sea. Political forces are working behind the scenes to provoke a war between Egypt and its powerful neighbour, Iran – a war that would certainly result in an Iranian victory. At stake is nothing less than total control of the Suez Canal, through which most of the world’s oil flows.

Behind the plot is a sinister double agent known only as the Pharaoh, whose goal is to establish a fanatic Islamic regime on Israel’s borders. To avoid a direct military confrontation with Iran, the US turns to master American sniper Kyle Swanson and his team, Trident. Using ruthlessly accurate targeted kills, they go undercover to teach the Iranian leadership a lesson, prevent a war that could strangle the world’s oil supply and cause the death of thousands . . .

Ratings and reviews

Usual good well researched story, not too far fetched and in line with the intrigue of world politics.

Not quite as good as one or two other books from the series but a great read regardless. Well worth the purchase!

Another good read from this series. Not as good as some previous outings but all the same, worth picking up
