Summary
Complete and unabridged. From the author of the best-selling Danny Black series and the hit TV show Strikeback.
Despatches from the secret world behind the headlines. Former SAS legend Chris Ryan brings you his 17th novel, filled with his trademark action, thrills and inside knowledge.
Osama Bin Laden is dead. The President of the United States knows it. The world knows it. And SAS hero Joe Mansfield knows it. He was on the ground in Pakistan when it happened. He saw Seal Team 6 go in, and he saw them extract with their grisly cargo. He was in the right place at the right time.
Or maybe the wrong place at the wrong time.
Because now somebody wants Joe dead, and they're willing to do anything to make it happen. His world is violently dismantled. His family is targeted, his reputation destroyed. And as a mysterious and ruthless enemy plans a devastating terror attack on both sides of the Atlantic, Joe knows this: his only chance of survival is to find out what happened in Bin Laden's compound the night the Americans went in.
But an unseen, menacing power has footprints it needs to cover. And it will stop at nothing to prevent him uncovering the sinister truth....

Not for me!
First Ryan novel for me and quite possibly the last!
I thought I’d try Chris Ryan as I’m a fan of Andy McNab and Stephen Leather, but in all honesty I found the story poor. The main character and supposed hero Joe Mansfield was immediately dislikable and the narrator was awful. I’m generously awarding it 3 stars. I’ll stick to McNab & Leather, and Paul Thornley as the narrator.

Captivating!
Another great (thought provoking) story. Graphic, detailed and action packed. Highly recommend, especially if looking to pass time on long journeys.

Chris Ryan can't do much wrong.
Another great story by Chris Ryan, some trademark gore, found the narrator a little lacklustre in certain parts and almost to slow a reader for the most part.

Narrator needs lessons on reading books!
Every character he tries to impersonate sounds the same, whether it's American or Arabic they all sound like himself. Total disappointment!

This book is awesome. I have read most of Chris Ryan’s work and think that this is the best written of them in my opinion. It has it all. Deffo worth a read / listen.
