In this bold novel, Jason Elliot illuminates the dark recesses of the intelligence community during a crucial moment ever sold: the struggle to avoid a terrorist invasion. In the months before 9/11, former army officer Anthony Taverner is leading a noiseless life in the British countryside. But his recruitment for an unhealthy quest to Afghanistan by the English Secret Intelligence Service - better known as MI6 - shatters his fragile serenity and plunges him into the kaleidoscopic world of spying. Under the expert guidance of your old-school hero and veteran of the elite United kingdom Special Air Service, Taverner prepares to enter Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to destroy a cache of the CIA's treasured Stinger missiles before they can show up into the hands of al-Qaeda. In Britain and America, the intelligence community is poised for a catastrophe that must be kept key from the general public, one that Taverner must try to avert - all without exposing an unhealthy key all his own. Based on real characters and sketching on the author's intensive firsthand understanding of Afghanistan, this is a thriller of exceptional authenticity, providing sustained insight into influences bordering 9/11 and bringing up questions about the role of intelligence organizations in historical occurrences deliberately hidden from the general public eye.
