Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 352 pages. In this bold novel, Jason Elliot illuminates the d ark recesses of the intelligence community during a crucial momen t in history: the struggle to avoid a terrorist attack. In the m onths before 9/11, former army officer Anthony Taverner is leadin g a quiet life in the English countryside. But his recruitment fo r a dangerous mission to Afghanistan by the British Secret Intell igence Service?better known as MI6?shatters his fragile peace and plunges him into the kaleidoscopic world of spying. Under the ex pert guidance of an old-school hero and veteran of the elite Brit ish Special Air Service, Taverner prepares to enter Taliban-contr olled Afghanistan to destroy a cache of the CIA 's precious Sting er missiles before they can fall into the hands of al-Qaeda. In B ritain and America, the intelligence community is poised for a ca tastrophe that must be kept secret from the public, one that Tave rner must attempt to avert?all without exposing a dangerous secre t all his own. Based on real characters and drawing on the autho r's extensive firsthand knowledge of Afghanistan, this is a thril ler of rare authenticity, providing sustained insight into influe nces surrounding 9/11 and raising questions about the role of int elligence agencies in historical events deliberately hidden from the public eye. Editorial Reviews From Booklist This intriguing first novel takes another look at the world of espionage in Afgh anistan. A travel writer with firsthand knowledge of the area, El liot effectively combines action and landscape in a thriller set prior to 9/11. Anthony Taverner, a recent recruit to MI6, the Bri tish Secret Service, is sent to Afghanistan to destroy several St inger missiles before al-Qaeda can get its hands on them. With th e help of a veteran and friend, Taverner undergoes extensive trai ning to prepare himself for the deadly mission and the forbidding terrain. He quickly learns that the success of the mission will depend on cunning as well as conditioning: secrets abound in the spy world, and nothing is what it seems. The Afghan setting is vi vidly rendered, but the slow pace of the story will make it a har d sell for readers expecting something in the Vince Flynn or Brad Thor vein. For those wanting a realistic look behind the news, h owever, Elliot delivers the goods. --Jeff Ayers Review Fast-pac ed and strikingly authentic ?Stella Rimington, former Director-Ge neral of MI5 As sharp as Frederick Forsyth--as exotic as Wilbur Smith. ?Jason Goodwin, author of The Janissary Tree A travel wri ter with firsthand knowledge of the area, Elliot effectively comb ines action and landscape . The Afghan setting is vividly rende red . For those wanting a realistic look behind the news . El liot delivers the goods. ?Jeff Ayers, Booklist Elliot's descript ions of Afghanistan and its extraordinary people are so vivid, ev ocative, and hauntingly real that I found myself reaching for my old camel-hair pakol and 9mm Makarov. His portrayal of the intell igence community's tactics, techniques, and procedures are so spo t-on accurate that one wonders whether travel writer was merely h is cover. ?Matthew Bogdanos, Colonel, U.S. Marine Corps and autho r of Thieves of Baghdad About the Author Jason Elliot is the au thor of An Unexpected Light: Travels in Afghanistan, which was a New York Times bestseller.
