SAS Shadow Squadron Box Set Vol 1-3

Shadow Squadron #1-3

by David Black

Vol 1: The Great Satan. - Introducing Sgt Pat Farrell and the men of the SAS Shadow Squadron.
The first of his compelling new Shadow Squadron series, best selling author David Black has produced his own fictional nightmare scenario: What if the Iraqi weapons that were said to be dismantled in the late 1990s included the ultimate WMD? And what if the deposing of Saddam Hussein left one of his most ruthless military leaders still at large, actively seeking a customer for Iraq’s only nuclear bomb?

Vol 2: Dark Empire. - Sgt. Pat Farrell and his men are back in action, in DARK EMPIRE, The Great Satan's thrilling sequel (Shadow Squadron #2).
Pat and his reserve SAS troop are on a training mission in Kenya, when they are suddenly ordered into the heart of Africa, on what should be a straightforward humanitarian rescue mission.
Unfortunately, nothing is ever straightforward in the Dark Continent. Pat and his men quickly find themselves trapped, deep in the primitive, war-ravaged Congo. Hunted by Congolese government forces and a feral legion of savage, drug-crazed guerrillas, things don't always go to plan...even for the SAS!

Vol 3: - Hidden high in the mountainous badlands of northern Pakistan, Zahira Khan, Pakistan’s newly appointed Al-Qaeda leader, is secretly plotting a new and terrible ‘spectacular’ to avenge the martyrdom of their spiritual leader, Osama bin-Laden. His diabolical attack will rival the merciless assaults on New York, Washington D.C., and the devastating 7/7 bombings of the London Underground.
SAS Sgt Pat Farrell and the men of Shadow Squadron will be tested far beyond the limits of their usual courage and determination, in the latest terrifying battle against the forces of evil, when they meet the deadliest of foes…

About the author

Best selling author and former soldier David Black now lives and works in Hertfordshire UK. For years, he lived an extraordinary double life as a London taxi driver and reserve SAS Senior Instructor and Troop Sergeant. He has recently launched a new career as a novelist.

His first book - 'PLAYING FOR ENGLAND' - takes a first-hand look at exactly what the SAS require in a man, and what standard they demand, to pass their rigorous and exhausting selection process. With a 90%+ failure rate...you'll have to see for yourself what's entailed!

David Black served with the Territorial SAS, based in Chelsea, London for 11 years while working hard as a black taxi driver in the capital. His double life was the inspiration for his first novel in the new SAS Shadow Squadron series - The Great Satan, and it's recently released sequel - Dark Empire.

The Great Satan is based on the very real concept that Iraq did have a secret weapon of mass destruction, which disappeared during Saddam's overthrow in 2003. The weapon - a small but viable atomic bomb - goes missing in Iraq before eventually turning up in London and threatening the very existence of the city. The hero of the book, Pat Farrell is, like David Black, a part-time SAS soldier and part-time London taxi driver.

David Black said: "I left the regular army after three years because I wanted a normal life. But while I was doing The Knowledge I quickly became bored with a mundane civilian life, so I joined the TA SAS for some new action and adventure. I loved it as a part-time soldier and part-time London taxi driver. It was an existence filled with incredible adventure and perfect inspiration for my Shadow Squadron Series."

As well, David has recently written the first of a new series of historical fiction adventure stories - 'SIEGE OF FAITH' - set on Malta in 1565, against the savage backdrop of the Great Ottoman Invasion.
