EDGE: Task Force Delta #1

When a Predator drone is hijacked by Taliban forces and used to kill US marines, Major Nathan Connor and his Delta Force unit are deployed to destroy it. The only problem is Connor must also keep a promise -- to find and protect his dead friend's son, Hassan. Delta Force burst into action to track down the Predator drone and Hassan before it's too late, and before more innocent blood is spilt... Explosive action and a thrilling, high-paced read is guaranteed in these gritty war adventures, which follow the behind-enemy-lines exploits of a squad from the US special combat unit known as "Delta Force". Craig Simpson is the author of the critically acclaimed "Special Operations" series.

About the author

A writer of action thrillers and adventures, mostly WWII inspired by secret agents of the SOE. My first book, "Resistance" (2007) was short-listed for the Branford-Boase Award, and my highly-acclaimed award-winning Special Operations Series (4 titles) has been followed by various short-format illustrated EDGE titles for Franklin Watts (Hachette). I am currently working on a swashbuckling novel set during the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
