      KDYŽ PREZIDENT USA VYHLÁSÍ VÁLKU SAS, VYPUKNE PRAVÉ PEKLO. JEDNOTKA SAS, NASAZENÁ V NEHOSTINNÝCH KONČINÁCH SEVERNÍ SÝRIE, JE PŘI OPERACI ZERO 22 VLÁKÁNA DO PASTI A ZMASAKROVÁNA MALOU SKUPINOU ŽOLDÁKŮ, OBLEČENÝCH JAKO PEKELNÍ ANDĚLÉ. Danny Black masakr přežije a po návratu do Londýna se dozví, že jeho jednotku zradil „krtek“, předávající přísně tajné vojenské informace Rusům. Stejně jako všichni příslušníci SAS hodni toho jména, patří jeho první myšlenky plánu na pomstu vojáků, kteří přišli pod jeho velením o život při operaci Zero 22. Jak se však jeho další mise rozvíjí, Danny zjišťuje, že do hry jsou zapojeny temnější síly. Uvědomí si, že to, co začalo jako poměrně jednoduchý plán na pomstu, je jen součástí spiknutí. To ho zavede do několika světadílů a vystaví podlým machinacím nejmocnějších mužů světa.

    • After six months in Regiment purgatory, SAS loner Jamie 'Geordie' Carter has been assigned to a new squadron. Tasked with flushing out the troop's bad apples, he's never been more exposed. And when someone tries to silence him, Carter is unexpectedly pulled from the team and given an even deadlier assignment. Viktor Koltrov is a charismatic Ukrainian general, and the second- most popular man in the country after the president. His stunning victories against the Russian military machine have made him the public face of a resurgent Ukraine - and a top target for the Kremlin's assassins. Now Carter must protect Koltrov as he embarks on a sensitive operation to flush out high- ranking traitors in the Ukrainian government. Eliminating the fifth columnists is vital if Kyiv is to defeat the invaders. But keeping the general alive in a war zone won't be easy, even for a hardened Regiment man. And as Koltrov hunts down his prey, Carter begins to realise that the infiltration of the establishment runs far deeper than he had ever imagined. If Carter's going to win, he'll need all of his wits and survival skills to stay ahead of the danger. Because the biggest threat isn't from Moscow. It's from the enemy within...

Osama Bin Laden is dead. The President of the United States knows it. The world knows it. And SAS hero Joe Mansfield knows it. He was on the ground in Pakistan when it happened. He saw Seal Team 6 go in, and he saw them extract with their grisly cargo. He was in the right place at the right time. Or maybe, the wrong place at the wrong time. Because now, somebody wants Joe dead, and they're willing to do anything to make it happen. His world is violently dismantled. His family is targeted, his reputation destroyed. And as a mysterious and ruthless enemy plans a devastating terror attack on both sides of the Atlantic, Joe knows this: his only chance of survival is to find out what happened in Bin Laden's compound the night the Americans went in. But an unseen, menacing power has footprints it needs to cover. And it will stop at nothing to prevent him uncovering the sinister truth...

A veteran of the most dangerous missions the Regiment could throw at him, his life was torn apart the day a terrorist attack killed his family.

Only one person can help prevent the disaster that is waiting to happen, and that person is being held by the Taliban insurgency in the depth of a harsh Afghanistan winter. As Will reluctantly prepares to undertake this final mission, he does so in the knowledge that it will stop a devastating terrorist attack - as well as achieve an ulterior motive of his own.
