About this eBook

'As in The Day of the Jackal and a host of other gripping tales, the master has done a brilliant job' (The Times)

In a matter of weeks Saddam Hussein will invade Kuwait and the Allied forces need all the information they can get to help the resistance. But when they intercept a top-secret fragment of radio referring to a lethal weapon that could rain down death and destruction, one man must risk everything to stop it.

SAS Major Mike Martin is sent undercover into Kuwait to assess Iraqi strength. Taken into the heart of Baghdad by enemy forces, he is tasked with 'running' the Iraqi spy known as Jericho, a sleeper who can provide vital information. But at a price.

This is the most hazardous mission of Martin's life: to find and destroy the secret weapon they call Qubth-ut-Allah - the Fist of God.

I can't tell you how wonderful this author is, his imagination is beyond HD. The storyline is so realistic I feel I am reading documentation that has been classified. It makes you think if any of this story is actually true? I remember the scandal of the supergun in my teens and the government having found and confiscated the actual pipes that were to become the barrel. I might add were being made in Sheffield and Newcastle. This book is tremendously good and the same characters used in the "The Afghan".
