DAVID Martel retired early from the Special Boat Service to his home island of Guernsey looking forward to a life of relaxation, boating, the quaffing of lager on hot days and the occasional liaison with visiting lovelies. A chance remark from an old friend in the Royal Guernsey Yacht Club changed all that. He was soon tight roping between the wrong side of the law, an Al Qaeda super plot, a beautiful French agent - and his own conscience. Jack Ferguson's book travels from the Channel Islands to France, Mallorca. Monaco and Helmund Province and reveals the identity of a super agent responsible for the intelligence needed to plan 9/11 and other Al Qaeda atrocities. The novel weaves a web of intrigue and horror, culminating in an act designed to devastate the European economy and kill thousands.
