Gerald Seymour Libri
25 novembre 1941
Gerald Seymour è un celebrato romanziere britannico il cui lavoro attinge profondamente dal suo vasto background come corrispondente estero. Le sue narrazioni sono caratterizzate da una trama intricata e da un occhio attento alle tensioni geopolitiche e alle operazioni clandestine che plasmano il mondo moderno. Seymour fonde magistralmente suspense e realismo concreto, esplorando spesso le complesse motivazioni degli individui intrappolati nel fuoco incrociato dei conflitti globali. La sua transizione dal giornalismo alla scrittura di narrativa a tempo pieno ha infuso nelle sue storie un'autentica urgenza e uno sguardo senza compromessi sulle conseguenze del potere.
Barney Crispin, a Captain in the SAS, is a tough as they come. He is sent on an urgent mission to the Afghanistan border: to destroy one of the Soviet Mi-24 helicopters, a highly sophisticated and virtually invulnerable piece of military equipment, and retrieve the hardware. In order to do so, he needs the help of the Mujahidin resistance and must first train them in the ways of stealth and sabotage. But the guerillas he trains are ill-equipped and disorganised. Their attempt fails and several of them are killed in the process. Against orders and with only eight missiles and a local boy as his guide, Barney decides to undertake the mission alone, his own solitary battle for vengeance...
The first-ever returning central character in Seymour's storied career - Jonas Merrick, MI5's grumpy old man from The Crocodile Hunter, must find a mole in MI6 and thwart a Russian assassination.
A thrilling tale of a three man assassination squad whose target is Israel's leading nuclear scientist while he's on a visit to London.

The brand new novel from 'Britain's finest thriller novelist' (i Paper on A Damned Serious Business)
"For the Minister the street exploded in noise. He felt the iron-hammer blow of the 7.62 mm shell crashing into his chest, tearing through the soft fleshand shattering his backbone." Intelligence Officer Harry Brown arrives in Belfast to try and find the minister's killer. He is immediately involved in the 'game of urban terrorism' - a game where there can only be losers.
Two men, one a diplomat, the other a master sniper, venture undercover into the Beqa'a Valley, home to some of the most revolutionary Palestinian guerilla groups. The two men are on a dangerous near-suicide mission to find one man.
