The hostage - Duncan Falconer

* NOW A MAJOR BLOCKBUSTER FILM - READ IT BEFORE YOU SEE IT! *

THE ENEMY HAS A WEAPON. SO DO WE.

Discover the hugely bestselling debut thriller by a former member of the elite Special Boat Services - the toughest men in the world - and his super-weapon hero: Stratton.

When an undercover operation monitoring the Real IRA goes horrifically wrong, British Intelligence turn to the one man who can get their agent out: Stratton, an Special Boat Service (SBS) operative with a lethal reputation. It's a dangerous race against time: if the Real IRA get to the Republic before Stratton gets to them, his colleague is as good as dead.

But this battle is only the beginning, for there can only be one way the Real IRA knew about the British agent: someone within MI5 is tipping them off. As the hunt for this mole goes south, a deadly Real IRA plan is taking shape - a terror attack the likes of which London has never seen . . .
