Reaper - Doug Beattie

Booted out of the British army in disgrace after a secret mission gone badly wrong, Adam Caine is down to his last chance when Reaper begins: he's been called in and offered an opportunity to make goodnot because of what he knows, but who. Khalid Bashir, a Pakistani soldier trained by the British at Sandhurst Military College. Graduating alongside Caine, Bashir was expected to return to this homeland and be an ally in the war on terror. Instead, he joined the Taliban and began using his training against the coalition troops who thought they would be his allies. Why? Because the United States killed his entire family in a drone strike. Now Caine has to hunt down Bashir and try to stop him. But who is he working for, and why does he get the sense there's more going on than he's been told? Could there be someone manipulating both men for his own secret ends? This thriller, written by a British army veteran of the conflict in Afghanistan, turns the reality of today's war on terror into edge-of-your-seat adventure.
