English Summary/英文概要： Captain Anthony Hugh Taverner, an explosives expert formerly of the Scots Guards, has landed himself a new mission. He must infiltrate a remote fort in Afghanistan and recover millions of dollars worth of stinger missiles being held there. The Firm has taken him by surprise. He is an ex-serviceman running a landscaping business one minute, and the next he is receiving coded postcards and being guided through the vast, mysterious tunnels underneath Secret Service Headquarters in Vauxhall, London. But Afghanistan is a country he knows well - one he loves - and a country he has a deep desire to return to. H, a former SAS man, has also spent time there. Methodical, focussed and supremely fit H spends months training Anthony; running, practising drills, working with firearms and learning complex codes. He will accompany Ant on the Op. They will wire and blow the fort together. Ant is also searching for information. En route to Afghanistan he rides through the ancient ruins of Sudan with a beautiful relative of Osama bin Laden, is stormed by the secret police, is allowed access to a top-secret research centre in America and meets an old man with a death-warrant, who he almost died protecting thirty years before. But what secrets and lies linger below the surface? Who is Manny and just what is The Network? What does the poised, intelligent and formidable old Baroness know about their mission? And what, if anything, can they achieve in a divided and broken country, barely breathing after generations of war and bloodshed. Richly-woven and utterly compelling, this is a thriller that goes beyond the rest; a story of war, espionage, deceit, religion, international affairs, and of friendship, tested to the very end.
