Setting and plot

Paris. An elderly man is assassinated as he takes his morning walk.

Syria. The government forces wage a bloody war against their own people. The Russians are propping up the government, the French are backing one rebel faction, and the British are backing another.

And in North Africa, young SAS trooper Danny Black is coming to the end of a gruelling tour of duty - or so he thinks.

Danny has a new mission. An MI6 agent needs to make contact with Syrian rebel forces and the private military contractors who are - unofficially - training this rebel faction as it struggles to bring down their government and establish a new regime that will be favourable to British business interests.

As Danny finds himself sucked into the murky orbit of private military, he'll soon discover a world where death is dispensed by the highest bidder and individuals will betray anybody if the price is right . . .
