Isku Vuorille
Sean Riever lähtee Afganistaniin lentämään miinanraivaukseen erikoistuneen avustusjärjestön helikopteria. Järjestö toimii maailman vaarallisimmassa ja väkivaltaisimmassa maassa - Talibanin hirmuvallan armoilla. Uudesta työstä ei siis puutu vaaroja, mutta tilanne kuumenee vasta, kun brittiläinen matkustajakone ammutaan alas Stinger -ilmatorjuntaohjuksella. Tiedetään, että ääri-islamilaisen terroristijärjestön uhkaus lupaa yhtä iskua kuukaudessa. Myös se tiedetään, että ohjukset on piilotettu Afganistaniin...
Riever joutuu kuljettamaan iskujoukkoa kohti luoksepääsemätöntä kätköä. Mutta ehtivätkö he tuhota ohjukset ajoissa?

Superb book
Having read the first book I knew this was going to be good. It builds slowly developing the story and the characters then accelerates as the plot works its way towards the crescendo. I am normally a slow reader but found d I couldn't put it down. Just needed to know what would happen next. As I have said superb. Can't wait for the next book.

A cliff hanger which enables you to understand the difficulty in Afghanistan
A book which does not hold its punches. Even In todays troubled world we in the West have it so easy! Although fiction it makes you think how hard it is to live and exist in this wartorn country!

¡¡Me encanto!!
Tengo que ser sincera, al principio no lo encontré nada interesante hasta que leí lo que le sucedió al vuelo Be Zeta 169. Me metí de lleno en la lectura a tal punto que podía sentir los nervios y el miedo. John Nichol pudo transmitir con cada detalle los lugares donde transcurre la historia y los sentimientos de los personajes para hacerte sentir como si estuvieras en la misma.

This is a cracking story set against the high lands of Afghanistan where Sean Reivers is pitted against Afghanistan warlords and Taiwan Zealots in a battle to stop stingers downing commercial airlines.
