Synopsis

After the British military lose an officer to Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan, a desperate race begins to find his killers. Little do the assailants know that the precious information they have stolen could bring down the entire network of Western intelligence in the Mid-East. But then one of them is captured by US troops and flown to the States for interrogation.
And so begins a nail-biting, claustrophobic and explosive thriller that will ultimately lead British operative John Stratton to the Styx penitentiary, America's undersea prison. How do you break in to a jail a hundred metres below the ocean? Can Stratton get the information back without the US discovering him? And is everyone in the prison really who they seem to be?
With its labyrinthine narrative and authentic detail, its CIA plots and White House agents, this fourth thriller in the Stratton series will catapult Duncan Falconer right into the top tier.

Another excellent book from Falconer. I like John Stratton. He's more human and believable than McNab's or Chris Ryan's heroes although more reckless and wildly optimistic about his chances of success. The detail is excellent and Falconer has Frederick Forsyth-levels of planning and detail. This woul......more

Goodreads review by Paul

Good nuts & bolts thriller. As others have said the idea of a underwater prison is a bit out there, but the tale is very well crafted. Got all the major elements: can-do-all hero, shadowy congressmen running a shadowy organisation, strong female heroine...... so it is fun but then it finishes and on......more
