Keepers of the Flame

A British SAS soldier in Afghanistan turns rogue and joins al-Qaeda.That alone is enough to set alarm bells jangling; a highly trained operative now fighting on the other side. But it gets even worse. He has a nuclear bomb. And he is in America, about to detonate it at a World Heritage Site in the most spectacular blast imaginable.After him is a shadowy organization called The Flame, a group of freelance Special Forces soldiers and agents formed to fight global terrorism.The Flame plays by no rules. They do not respect international borders. They ignore the Geneva Convention. They shoot to kill without government sanction. They go where effete politicians and leaders dare not. In short, they fight terrorism on a level playing field.Now they have to catch the SAS rogue before he triggers a Third World War.As topical as today's headlines, Keepers of the Flame gives a terrifying vision of how global terrorism will be fought in the future as increasingly timid governments shy away from confronting the existential threat that could destroy civilization as we know it.
