In this fourth book, the eagerly awaited sequel to When Twilight Ends, the anti-hero Adam Collins - now Aiden Carter - is in his new role as Head of Security (Asia) for a major US investment group and resident in Tokyo. Suddenly, after four years, 'the Office' - the Secret Intelligence Service aka M16 - has reappeared in his life with a proposition. He was to find this 'favour' involved a kidnapped teenage girl, the daughter of a media mogul in Tokyo. The brief: locate and extract - alive if possible. With his female partner, on loan from Japanese intelligence, Adam must revert to his previous life to negotiate a dangerous path through the clans of the Yakusa - the Japanese mafia - with an unknown 'mole' attempting to block them at every turn, including rendering them 'inoperable'. In a race against time, they must travel the length of Japan, with their lives in increasing danger at every turn. The author is noted for the depth of information and accurate detail in his writing, taking the reader on a rollercoaster ride into the world of international intelligence and the Japanese underworld.

Following Last of the Cold War Warriors and Last of the Cold War Warriors II, the author tracks the career of anti-hero Adam Collins of the Secret Intelligence Service aka MI6. On a high-risk operation ranging across Europe, their brief is to recover or render inoperable the US National Security Agency's new - and missing - cyber warfare programme, codenamed TERRAMAX. The body bag count inexorably rises, complicated by the involvement of other 'hostile' intelligence teams, also intent on gaining possession of the new cyber warfare system at any cost. Adam's joint operation team, comprising the SIS, NSA and NCS, find themselves playing a cat-and-mouse game with the anonymous 'Auctioneer', leading to a personal tragedy for Adam. After Adam's resignation from 'the Office', the story continues four years later - two of them having seen Adam in prison - as the SIS reappears in his life, making him an offer he knows he can't refuse. With a new partner, once again Adam finds himself crossing international time zones in a race against time to find the SIS 'mole' responsible for the elimination of several service officers and assets worldwide - with more to follow. With a brief to locate and extract or eliminate the 'mole', the operation will culminate in a virtual suicide mission in the People's Republic of China.

"Yitzhak and I still keep in touch and exchange Christmas and Jewish New Year cards. He now has four daughters, but still no son as insurance against his old age. I make no secret of the fact I rate Mossad very highly. Mossad's intelligence gathering capabilities are second to none. They allegedly informed the CIA and FBI in August 2001 that as many as two hundred terrorists were on US soil. Mossad's intelligence indicated terrorists were planning an attack on a major American target. The Mossad warning was ignored. One month later, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked..." "Last of the Cold War Warriors" is set in the shadows of the world of intelligence. It covers two decades of international Intelligence Services' covert operations worldwide, from East Germany to South Africa, from Russia to Morocco.
