A cargo dispatch is apprehended with the authorities from the coast of Spain, loaded towards the gunwales with plenty of hands and ammunition to start out a war. Twenty years later, an unknown aggressor seems objective on eradicating those responsible for the treachery, one by one. The last sufferer was brutally tortured using a Black & Decker drill, after that shot through the head. And Nick Stone – ex-SAS, difficult, resourceful, ruthless, experienced – is next for the killer’s list .

In his most challenging mission yet, Nick Stone must find a man who shared that past, and who may know more about today’s threat than he’s prepared to disclose. As both end up pursued across ocean and desert, they become a lot more enmeshed within a fatal network of betrayal, to which Rock himself unwittingly retains the key. And in your final confrontation that echoes his worst nightmares, only he can stop the unthinkable and save the lives of those he retains most dear.
