The Old War: A gripping military thriller of conspiracy, betrayal, and global stakes

Rate this book
A murdered neo-Nazi. A hidden chemical arsenal. A conspiracy that could ignite global war.

When a body turns up near a U.S. Army base in Germany, Captain Frank Sherman is pulled from the front lines of Syria into a shadow investigation. Partnered with a ruthless CIA operative, he’s tasked with uncovering whispers of stolen weapons and a long-buried stockpile of chemical agents. What starts as a hunt for missing munitions soon spirals into a deadly web of far-right extremists, corrupt soldiers, and foreign powers willing to do anything to tip the world into chaos.

To stop catastrophe, Sherman must face enemies both in the shadows and within his own ranks—before the war he thought was over flares back to life.

The Old War is the eighth instalment in the Frank Sherman Thrillers series, perfect for fans of Lee Child, Mark Greaney, and Vince Flynn.

Frank Sherman

So it goes. What an incredible and intriguing novel! This latest edition in The Frank Sherman stories is both intense and interesting. Captain Frank Sherman's "partner" in Germany on assignment is Henry. Henry is unassuming but lethal. The plot weaves the old with the new with an outcome that ties all ends. Very well written.
