Out of the frying pan, and into the fire... Sickened by the bloody toll of a war that cost the lives of friends and the woman he loved, RAF pilot Sean Riever transfers units, heading for the remote mountains of Afghanistan. His work there with the mine-clearance teams takes him as close to the shadow of war as he ever wants to get again. But when a British passenger plane is shot down by a Stinger missile over the east coast of America, Sean is forced once more into the cauldron of war. Gulf War hero John Nichol returns with a breathlessly exciting thriller, combining full-throttle action with frightening topicality, perfect for fans of James Deegan, Frederick Forsyth and Chris Ryan.

Biography/History:
During his 15 years in the RAF, John Nichol flew Tornadoes in Air Defence and Ground Attack roles around the world, from the Nevada Desert to the Falkland Islands. He and his pilot John Peters were shot down on the first low-level daylight raid of the First Gulf War. Captured and tortured, they were paraded on TV, provoking worldwide condemnation, and leaving one of the enduring images of the conflict. He returned to active duty as part of the UN force maintaining the fragile peace in Bosnia. John is the bestselling author of 15 books including the bestselling Tornado Down written with John Peters which describes their POW ordeal, The Red Line<i/> which is a classic account of the ill-fated Nuremberg Raid and its tumultuous and deeply moving aftermath and After the Flood: What the Dambusters Did Next. His latest book, the Sunday Times bestseller, Spitfire: A Very British Love Story<i/> is a passionate portrait of the magnificent fighter aircraft, its many innovations and updates, and the people who flew and loved them. He has written for all of the UK national newspapers and is a widely quoted commentator on military affairs, in print and on television.
