Publisher's Synopsis
A THREATENED ASSAULT ON A CHURCH BY A BRUTAL TERRORIST GROUP... CAN SEVEN MEN AND TWO WOMEN STOP THEM - EVEN IF LED BY DANNY QUIGLEY? Mindless savagery and violence have been increasingly inflicted on Christian churches across northern Nigeria, by the brutal terrorist group Boko Haram. Now, Father Robert McGregor is told by an informer, that there is an attack planned for his church, on an upcoming feast day. His Bishop orders him to ignore the threat as he considers it groundless. Instead he calls his brother Scotty, a serving member of the UK's elite Special Forces (SAS), who immediately starts to recruit tough, ex-members of the regiment as a defense team. Three of them, already working in Nigeria with an oil company, load up weapons in their vehicle, and head out. Then he calls Danny Quigley. Back in the day, Danny had become a legend in the SAS, for his exploits against Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Now a civilian, he pulls some strings with MI5 the Security Service, to get him on his way to Nigeria. Once landed and travelling along his route, he is ambushed by kidnappers, and in the subsequent action, frees a beautiful American woman and her father. His driver Mary, the church housekeeper, a woman with a mysterious past, turns out to be equally at home using an assault rifle. The action is relentless; Two rogue CIA agents make an attempt on Danny's life and Scotty manages to prevent an attempted assassination on his brother's life by drive-by terrorists on motorbikes.They start taking the offensive in a textbook assault against an advanced scouting group of terrorists, and wipe them out. But the major terrorist group is still poised across the border in their training camp in Cameroon. To nip this anticipated attack in the bud, they plan an illegal operation against this group using a chopper flown by Vietnam veteran Kurt Steiner, but... the operation goes wrong - terribly wrong. The unexpected arrival of an additional unit of highly trained terrorists comes close to annihilating the team. Danny manages to stall their relentless advance, long enough for the team chopper to get airborne, leaving himself and Mary behind...
