THINK YOU KNOW THE SAS? THINK AGAIN... From no.1 bestselling SAS
hero Chris Ryan, comes MANHUNTER: the first book in an explosive
new series featuring Josh Bowman, a battle-worn Regiment soldier
hand-picked to join a shadowy unit within the SAS.
_________________ When foreign governments act like gangsters, a
new kind of SAS is needed . . . In London, assassins carry out a
deadly chemical weapons attack at the royal wedding. All the signs
point to a Kremlin-sanctioned hit. Their victim: a notorious
mobster. 'The Cell' is a shadowy unit within the SAS, dedicated to
fighting global organised crime. In a world where the Russian
government is the real mob, it's the job of the Cell to defend
British interests at home and abroad. Only the elite are selected;
only the very best will survive. For SAS staff sergeant Josh
Bowman, whose young family was brutally murdered by an Albanian
crime gang, it's a chance for revenge - and to bury his secret
opioid addiction. But the Russians have only just begun. When the
Cell uncovers a sinister plot against a British-backed tyrant in
Africa, they are quickly drawn into a deadly race against time.
Soon they find themselves fighting a terrifying enemy in a brutal
fight to the death. Outnumbered, outgunned and with no military
support, Bowman and his comrades are all that stand between Moscow
and ultimate victory . . . _________________ Praise for SAS legend
