First Strike

EDGE: Task Force Delta #3

by Craig Simpson

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".

The Taliban launch a deadly attack in the first step of their new offensive. Delta Force are assigned to strike back! The team must HALO drop into the mountains, hook up with their contact, find Mullah Khan - the Taliban leader - then take him out.

But when one of the team is killed, it looks like Delta Force has walked straight into a trap! Major Connor must salvage the mission, kill Mullah Khan and get his men home.

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.
