This is the third book from Sandy Gall, a thriller set in the last days of the war in Afghanistan. As the West waits for Russia to withdraw her troops, a Russian defector and a disgraced ex-SAS man are assigned to a mission of encouragement. It is their task to sabotage and their target is Salang.
Not bad time passer. It is dated, we think differently about the Afghan fighters now but when Gall wrote the book they were our favourite freedom fighters. The story plots get a bit unrealistic and after the main operation gets done, you wonder where the story is going, which is probably the reason I finished it.
