A gritty, high-stakes military thriller set against the backdrop of Balkan atrocities, driven by action and survival rather than character depth.

Andy Marlow, an ex British S.A.S serviceman turned mercenary, is sent into the Balkans after a military coup has arisen to rescue a U.S ambassador and his aide.
