The Judas Gate: Jack Higgins
Helmand Province, Afghanistan. A lone convoy edges toward a deserted village, led by US Army Rangers in Mastiff APVs. Stopping to search the area, the Rangers are hit by a massive roadside bomb and as half the patrol lies dead or injured, the remainder are ambushed with military precision. A nearby British medical team responds to the call for back up but are slaughtered when their Chinook helicopter is blown up. But what's worse, amid the battlefield chatter picked up by Major Giles Roper, not all the Taliban voices are Afghan - some are English and the commander has an Irish accent and names himself Shamrock. Sean Dillon is in charge of hunting down the traitor, with all the resources of the 'Prime Minister's private army' at his disposal. A familiar deadly face makes a dramatic reappearance and Dillon learns that this Judas has al Qaeda on his side...
