Two brothers, SAS through and through.They fight alongside each other,they watch each other's backs.They are ruthlessly professional in the field of war,fiercely loyal wherever they are.But when Jacob is booted from the Regiment for a moment of madness,he disappears.Not even his family knows where he is,or even if he's still alive. All that is about to change. On his return from a brutal mission in Afghanistan, Sam is ordered to conduct another dangerous operation into an inhospitable part of the world.He soon learns, though,that his unit are not being told everything by their government paymasters,and so he is forced to choose between his duty to the men around him and his loyalty to the brother that he loves.                                    Is Jacob part of a plan that threatens world peace? As the body count rises, only Sam can stop these events from reaching their terrifying conclusion.                                      Please contact seller,because of the value of this item,for correct shipping/P+p quotes - particularly ALL overseas buyers - BEFORE ordering through the order page!                N.B.
