Having proved his grandfather Fergus? innocence, Danny Watts and his friend Elena have now been recruited by the British government for a dangerous assignment. Elena must impersonate a would-be suicide bomber to win the confidence of Black Star, the master computer hacker who is behind the rash of teenage bombings that have swept the globe.
When Black Star sends Elena to New York, Danny and Fergus come along to keep an eye on her. But Fergus knows that once this mission is over, the government will have them all eliminated. As Elena begins to fall under Black Star?s spell, it will take all of Danny?s survival training to find a way out.
Having scored smash bestsellers in Britain with Traitor and Payback, the adventure continues in Avenger with all the authentic Special Ops details that made the previous books stand out.
They bring death and destruction in their wake: influenced by their mysterious leader, known only as Black Star, vulnerable teenagers strap high explosives to their chests and blow themselves up.
Maximum impact. Maximum destruction. London. America. Japan. Where will the angels of death strike next? Can they be stopped?
Despite the fierce objections of his grandfathers, ex-SAS explosives expert Fergus Watts, Danny and his friend Elena are sucked into an undercover operation to find and destroy Black Star. As the trail leads them to New York, the master of trickery and deception draws the teenager into spiralling danger as he seeks to take his revenge on the world.
The third book in the Boy Soldier sequence is another explosive, fast-moving and thrilling adventure, packed with authentic detail from Andy McNab's SAS expertise.
