Book ID/图书代码: 06580010B35811
English Summary/英文概要: At the height of the Iranian revolution, a British MI6 agent, James Cochrane, gave his life for his two closest friends - one a fellow British officer, the other a senior CIA operative. Caught in a sting, he chose to walk into the trap set for them so that his friends could escape. His viciously tortured body was found months later. The man who set up that sting was then a young Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Today he is better known as Megiddo - the world’s most wanted international terrorist mastermind.
Thirty years later, Will Cochrane may work for M16 but he doesn’t enjoy playing by the rules his bosses set him. When a job has to be done he is determined to finish it - even if at times it means to hell with convention or indeed loyalty. His controller Alastair knows that Will is a wild card and should be thrown out of the service,but his very unpredictability may be just the weapon the West needs to bring down its most ruthless enemy, particularly when Will discovers that Megiddo was the very man responsible for his own father’s horrific death.
When Will discovers that M!6 have tracked down a woman who once had an affair with the young Iranian guard, he knows that he can use her to set a trap. She has to be persuaded to lure Megiddo out from the shadows in which he moves but Megiddo may have other plans, for as per his biblical namesake, he is planning an attack on the West the likes of which the world has never seen.
The stakes could not be higher.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 時值伊朗伊斯蘭革命如火如荼之際,英國軍情六處特務詹姆士.柯克蘭,為了拯救兩位摯友,選擇犧牲自己。
當時身處險境之中的詹姆士,明知對方已設下了重重圈套,但為了爲同伴爭取一線生機,選擇自我犧牲,最後在飽受摧殘之後,不幸喪生。
當年一手策劃這場陰謀的伊朗革命衛隊成員,如今是全球最惡名遠播的恐怖組織首領,外號「米吉多」。
三十年後,一個名為威爾.柯克蘭的年輕人來到軍情六處,他的行事風格與該組織格格不入:一旦他執行任務,所有的繁文雜律皆被拋至腦後。在上級長官阿拉斯泰爾看來,不按常理出牌的威爾無疑就是個麻煩,按理早該被剔除;不過阿拉斯泰爾念頭一轉,威爾也許是用來剷除米吉多的最佳人選。尤其當威爾發現,對方正是殺害自己父親的兇手。
在一次行動當中,軍情六處逮捕了一名與米吉多有染的女子,這在威爾看來,正好可以當作誘捕米吉多的棋子。但米吉多為人向來行蹤詭秘、飄忽不定,他必須想盡辦法說服該女子幫助自己。不過,陰險狡詐的米吉多也有自己的計畫,他正籌畫一起史無前例的恐怖襲擊。(AW & KC)

About the Author/作者介绍: 本書作者馬修.鄧恩,在英國軍情六處工作多年,本人就是一名特務。雖然間諜的特殊身份令得他不得不放棄了自己的婚姻與私人生活,但同時也爲他的小說創作帶來豐富的靈感來源。
As an MI6 field operative, Matthew Dunn recruited and ran agents, coordinated and participated in special operations, and acted in deepcover roles throughout the world. He operated in highly hostile environments where, if compromised and captured, he would have been executed. Dunn was trained in all aspects of intelligence collection, deep-cover deployments, small-arms, explosives, military unarmed combat, surveillance, infiltration. Medals are never awarded to modern MI6 officers, but Dunn was the recipient of a very rare personal commendation from the Secretary of State For Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs for work he did on one mission which was deemed so significant that it directly influenced the successful conclusion of a major international incident.
During his time in MI6, Matthew conducted approximately seventy missions. All of them were successful.
He lives in England.
