*****************************************************************
ONE UNDERCOVER MISSION THAT COULD HAVE DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES

Tensions between Siberia and Moscow have been running high for a while, but the sudden disappearance of leading top-tier Siberian politicians and oil executives sparks open outrage and brings relations to boiling point.

Terrified that Siberia will deprive Russia of its most important oil source, Moscow turns to a new supplier in the South Atlantic: the Falkland Islands. In an undercover mission, they persuade Argentina to invade the islands again and strike a bargain: in return for oil rights, Moscow's hunter-killer submarine, Viper 157, will take out the British aircraft carrier arriving to recapture the islands, leaving Argentina free to claim the 'Malvinas'.

The United States are furious at this act of international piracy - and the fact that their largest oil giant owns the very same oil rights. Under the stern eye of Admiral Morgan, the navy SEALs bring in the legendary Commander Rick Hunter. Their mission: to hammer Argentina's military and free the Falklands.

For the fabled Hunter, the assignment has struck close to home. His brother-in-law and an SAS special forces team are trapped on East Falkland...

It's an international crisis, and there can only be one victor...

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A disappearance. An invasion. And the return of a legend.

Tensions between Siberia and Moscow are already running high, when the sudden disappearance of top-tier Siberian politicians and oil executives sparks open outrage east of the Urals. With relations strained, Moscow needs a new oil source, and quickly. A dangerous plan is set in motion. Persuading Argentina to invade the Falkland Islands again, Moscow s hunter-killer submarine Viper 157 promises to take out the British aircraft carrier arriving to recapture the islands, leaving Argentina free to claim the Malvinas in return for Falkland oil.

The United States is furious at this act of international piracy. Admiral Morgan and the Navy SEALs manage to persuade the legendary commander Rick Hunter to return. The mission: to hammer Argentina s military and free the Falklands. For Hunter, the assignment strikes close to home. His English brother-in-law and an SAS special forces team are trapped on East Falkland, on the run from Argentine shoot-to-kill man-hunt, out of contact
