About this listen

Three people. Three stories. And a desperate race for survival in a country in the midst of war.

Nick Scott fought in the SAS during the first Gulf War. Captured and tortured, he was left a broken man. His daughter Sarah Scott is a beautiful young scientist who has cracked one of the scientific secrets of the age. Now, she has vanished. Her lover Jed Bradley is one of the SAS's toughest young agents, dropped behind enemy lines in the build up to the Iraq War to find the truth about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.

Caught up in a global power play, Nick and Jed must fight their way through a war-ravaged Iraq as the regime of Saddam Hussein collapses around them. It is a desperate race to find the woman they both love. And to unlock the secret of the Ultimate Weapon.

Dull

Narrator was a bit dull and could have put more expression into reading the book

Gut Wrenching?

I can savely say my gut was not wrenched, as some of the quoted reviews say in the marketing hype. Instead it was ok. Chugged along at a reasonable pace but the usual Special Forces stuff. If you like that and can stand another story similar to the ones you have probably already heard - great. Don't expect anything stunning in the story department, but at the same time I have heard alot worse.....average
