DOUBLE CROSS: A TASK FORCE TRIDENT MISSION-FILE
Tom Shepard has served his country with distinction.
As part of the Royal Navy’s elite SBS-Task Force Trident he is tasked with a routine close protection operation to oversee security on a meet between joint intelligence service personnel and a high value asset.
Khalid Alfredi is a wealthy financier responsible for moving the wealth and assets of criminal and terrorist networks around the globe.
Arrogant and greedy, Alfredi has supplemented his own lavish lifestyle by diverting funds from his ruthless clients. With his deception exposed, they intend to make a brutal example of the thief.
Desperate for salvation he cuts a deal to expose their illicit sources and vast deposits that stretch from the glittering casinos of Macao to the exclusive luxury of the Caribbean Islands and crucially supply the details of a group responsible for a recent wave of deadly terror attacks.
With the meet compromised and the intelligence agents quashing Shepard's concerns, they are unprepared to defend the swift and violent attack that ensues.
Finding himself in the cross-hairs of both branches of the intelligence service and the Cabal behind the assassination, Shepard battles to rehabilitate and prove he is fit for duty; his mission now to expose and bring retribution upon the traitors responsible for the deadly DOUBLE CROSS.
From the author of CODE OF SILENCE and AGENT IN PLACE.

Join Tom Shepard in the hunt for one of the worlds most wanted in this relentless military thriller that will keep you gripped until its explosive conclusion.
For fans of Vince Flynn, Kyle Mills, Tom Clancy and Lee Child and the Motion Pictures '13 HOURS' and 'ZERO DARK THIRTY'.

My thoughts about Phillip Jordan’s spellbinding action military thriller Double Cross is An excellent thriller. A good well written story. I found it hard to put this book down and that is rare.Author Phillip Jordan does it again with this 2nd follow up to the excellent Agent In Place, Double Cross is a cool gripping faced-paced turn pager from start to finish with full of breathtaking action and suspense which is incredible. Phillip Jordan is a master class writer which deserves appreciation.The story of Double Cross begins with Khalid Alfredi is a wealthy financier responsible for moving the wealth and assets of criminal and terrorist networks around the globe.Arrogant and greedy, Alfredi has supplemented his own lavish lifestyle by diverting funds from his ruthless clients. With his deception exposed, they intend to make a brutal example of the thief.Desperate for salvation he cuts a deal to expose their illicit sources and vast deposits that stretch from the glittering casinos of Macao to the exclusive luxury of the Caribbean Islands and crucially supply the details of a group responsible for a recent wave of deadly terror attacks.With the meet compromised and the intelligence agents quashing Shepard’s concerns, they are unprepared to defend the swift and violent attack that ensues.Finding himself in the cross-hairs of both branches of the intelligence service and the Cabal behind the assassination, Shepard battles to rehabilitate and prove he is fit for duty; his mission now to expose and bring retribution upon the traitors responsible for the deadly DOUBLE CROSS.Another brilliant book from Phillip Jordan and certainly didn’t disappoint. Will be waiting eagerly for the next action packed installment in the Tom Shephard Taskforce series. Double Cross is definitely worth reading. I would like to say thank you to Author Phillip Jordan,for introducing me to the fantastic series I’ve enjoyed reading,and I’m a huge fan of this series as well as his brilliant Belfast crime thriller series.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥

A decent short thriller featuring SBS Captain Tom Shepard and the quest to capture a terrorist financier.
A joint US/ UK operation goes wrong, leaving Shepard and assorted agencies from both countries to pick up the pieces. The suspect holds a great deal of intelligence on terrorist organisations and their activities and is highly sought after, not least by those who want to silence him.
There's a lot of military lingo and a fair few gunfights, but the core narrative is compelling. As a novella it's a relatively quick read.

This is a cracking entertaining short read which certainly packs a punch. Tom is involved in a botched operation to meet a money man for a terrorist organisation who is willing to provide invaluable information. Many good people die and when Tom has recovered, he sets out to seek retribution on the killers and the traitors who betrayed them.
The level of detail here is exceptional and it's a breath-taking read spanning many countries. Although it is the second book in this series, it can be read as a standalone. I hope there's more to come.
