Extraction Under Fire: An SAS / MI6 Mission
An impounded Iranian super-tanker. An innocent British doctor held hostage by terrorists. One order from the Chief of "Bring her home—or make sure she never becomes leverage." When the Royal Navy intercepts the Iranian shadow-fleet tanker SS Al-Qadir in the Gulf of Oman, Tehran strikes back with asymmetric brutality. Desperate for a bargaining chip to force the return of their ship and its eighty-million-dollar crude cargo, Iranian intelligence orders the abduction of a British national.
Within hours, Dr. Emily Cooper—a dedicated British trauma surgeon running a frontline humanitarian clinic in Yemen—is violently snatched by Houthi militants. An elite Iranian strike column is already racing across the desert to take custody of their prize and escort her straight to an interrogation cell in Tehran.
Whitehall refuses to capitulate to extortion.
Enter Colonel Mike Reaper, MI6’s most dangerous trouble-shooter, and his lethal bodyguard Sergeant Don MacLeish of E Squadron, 22 SAS.
Their orders are simple, clinical, and penetrate the lawless Hadhramaut Valley, locate Dr. Cooper, and extract her before she crosses into Iranian hands. And if extraction proves impossible, ensure she cannot be used as a pawn on the evening news.
Backed by an SAS assault stack, Reaper launches a high-risk night raid into the hostile desert. But hitting the compound is only the opening salvo. When Iranian special forces bring down their air support with advanced missile systems, the extraction corridor collapses into chaos.
Pinned down in a desert redoubt and pounded by heavy mortars and armour, survival comes down to raw aggression, military tradecraft, and holding the line to the last round.
Yet as the smoke clears in the desert, General Fazad of Iranian Intelligence is already launching a catastrophic, multi-axis retaliation across Europe and the heart of London…
Packed with authentic Special Forces tradecraft, gritty close-quarters combat, and blistering action, Extraction Under Fire is the explosive, full-length (over 500 pages) first novel in the Mike Reaper & Don MacLeish series. A must-read for fans of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Mark Greaney, and Jack Carr.
