Deception

Rate this book
When a hostage is snatched from the streets of Beirut by Hezbollah terrorists it sets in train a series of events from the UK to the Middle East that end in the corridors of power. A combined air operation is mounted from a base in Cyprus to release the agent from his enforced captivity. Phantom and Buccaneer crews help a special forces team to mount a daring raid, the like of which has not been attempted since Operation Jericho during World War 2. With Syrian forces ranged against them and Israeli and American friends seemingly bent on thwarting them, the outcome is by no means certain. As in his other novels David Gledhill takes you into the cockpit in this fast paced Cold War tale of intrigue and deception.

Great read and timely plot

Current to the situation in the Middle East today. Really makes one think if the media isn’t being manipulated as well. What is really happening and who is pulling the strings?

Deception (Phantom air combat #4)

Making everyone observing your actions believe that they are "real!" Utilizing assets to disguise the real purpose of your actions demand realistic expectations from your observers. This book is all about deceiving and being deceived in real time. Great reading and writing.
