Soldier Z: For King and Country
By early 1944 the tide of the war was flowing steadily against the Germans, but to the Western Allies the need for a speedy victory was becoming more apparent with each new Russian advance and each new hint of the horror at work in the camps of occupied Europe. The SAS, born in North Africa as a strategic raiding force behind enemy lines, was well suited to performing a similar role in the different terrain of the Italian mountains and French forests. Here, after making common cause with the local partisans, they could cut the road and rail likes which served the front line German armies. Hitler knew as much, and was determined that the SAS should pay a terrible price for their efforts. In O...
Mission to Argentina (SAS Operation)
Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But can the SAS prevent the launch of Exocet missiles at the British Task Force?
Marine I SBS
In 1995, in the aftermath of the First Gulf War, a defector from Saddam Hussein's Iraq makes contact with the Western press. He claims to have startling new information about an Iraqi nuclear weapons programme, but suddenly he disappears without a trace. Unwilling to risk a new war in the Gulf, the West disregards him as a fraud, but a key scientific advisor to the British government has other ideas. When news of a hush-hush project on a converted rig in the Caspian Sea breaks with reports of another disappearance – this time of a nuclear missile expert – the threads of an international plot are unravelled. It soon becomes clear that there is only one group with the necessary skills to investigate: Britain's legendary Special Boat Squadron. Marine I SBS: Escape from Azerbaijan finds the Squadron's finest in a corner of the old Soviet Union riven by war and lawlessness, fighting for survival against the sadistic intelligence agents of Saddam's Mukhabarat and the heirs of the KGB. This is classic military fiction at its best.
Soldier O: The Bosnian Inferno
In 1993, as civil war continued to rage in Bosnia, a strange story began to emerge. In the isolated mountain town of Zavik, a small army of Serbs, Muslims and Croats had been formed under the command of a renegade Briton by the name of Reeve. Originally organised to defend the town against the tides of war and 'ethnic cleansing', this force had subsequently started mounting raids further afield in search of food, fuel and medical supplies. All sides in the war were enraged by the exploits and the very existence of this maverick army; even the UN mediators recognised the need for its suppression. But there were only two people Reeve would be likely to listen to: his ex-wife, and an ex-comrade...
Soldier S: The Samarkind Hijack
In 1994, in the newly independent state of Uzbekistan, a party of mostly British tourists was a day excursion from the fabled city of Samarkand when their bus was hijacked by Muslim fundamentalists. Unknown to the hijackers, this particular tourist group contained an ex-SAS sergeant the recently retired Jamie Doherty and the rebellious daughter of the British Foreign Minister, already a favourite of the tabloid press back home. Uncertain how to respond to the terrorists' demands, the Uzbekistan government accepted a British offer of assistance: two members of the SAS crack Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing were dispatched to Samarkand, with instructions to liase with the local ex-KGB unit c...
Soldier W: Guatemala - Journey Into Evil
In the Central American republic of Guatemala, government-sponsored torture and mass murder had reduced the Mayan Indian population to a despairing acquiescence, and after five hundred years of struggle it began to seem as if the conqueror's peace could at last be claimed in the capital. Then, at the beginning of 1995, a guerrilla leader whom the authorities had long believed dead sprang mysteriously back to life. No loyal Guatemalan could identify him, and the government was compelled to seek help elsewhere, from one of the two SAS soldiers who had helped to mediate a hostage crisis with the guerrilla almost fifteen years earlier. To the government in Whitehall it appeared a straightforward enough exercise, but for the soldier and his comrades the mission soon turned into a nightmare of impossible choices, and then land of Guatemala, magical and cruel by turns, proved much easier to enter than to escape.
Death on Gibraltar (SAS Operation)
Ultimate soldier. Ultimate mission. But will the SAS be able to outfox the IRA as they prepare a deadly reprisal?
Marine G SBS
South China Sea, 1995. Pirates rule the waves and ships are disappearing in deadly ocean blackspots. To combat these cut-throats, a SBS team is sent to Singapore to play a game of high-stakes hide-and-seek across the tropical seas, picking up a trail which leads them north towards Hong Kong. Meanwhile, as the Communist Chinese takeover looms for the British colony, Inspector Rosalie Kai is investigating a barbaric cross-border trade in unwanted female babies. Soon both she and the SBS team find themselves in the underworld jungle up against a criminal organization that stretches from one end of the South China Sea to the other, fighting rogue elements of the Indonesian Army, corrupt policemen, and the foot soldiers of the fearsome Triads. This is classic military fiction at its best.
