publishers Weekly

the Apparent Intelligence Snafus That Led Up To The Iraq War Provide The Backdrop For This Intricately Plotted Thriller From Bestselling British Author Ryan (the One That Got Away). Sarah Scott, A Cambridge University Graduate Student Conducting Nuclear Research, Goes Missing Just Before The 2003 Invasion Of Iraq. Her Father, Nick Scott, A Former Sas Trooper Who Was Captured In The First Gulf War And Tortured In Saddam's Dungeons, And Sarah's Boyfriend, Jed Bradley, A Current Sas Member, Join Forces To Find Her. Naturally, Nick And Jed Despise Each Other, But A Lovely And Extremely Devious Female Intelligence Agent Makes Sure They Cooperate. Ryan, Himself An Sas Veteran Of The First Gulf War, Makes His Two Heroes' Actions And Motivations Credible. The Book Offers An Ingenious Answer As To Why Saddam Was Really Overthrown, Though Those Who Know Their Armor May Have A Few Nits To Pick With How The Author Describes The Way A Russian T-55 Tank Works.
