“The Red Storm Rising of our times.”The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are consigned to history, the west banished from the Middle East as a powerful new Caliphate unites the Islamic world. As Europe wallows in economic depression, an army quietly gathers on its borders, watching, waiting....
In London, the massive truck bomb that levels Whitehall is the signal to commence hostilities, heralding a wave of chaos that paralyses the capital and engulfs Europe. Trapped beneath the streets by the unfolding mayhem, Prime Minister Harry Beecham realises he is the target for the assault teams frantically searching the rubble of Downing Street above. Escorted by a small team of Special Forces soldiers, Harry must escape the city before it falls, his destination a secret government complex buried deep beneath the West Country hills.
As England buckles beneath the military onslaught it becomes clear that sanctuary must lie elsewhere, far to the north, where remaining British forces have massed along an ancient border, dug in deep to await the final battle for survival.
“Outstanding military action and adventure!"

Hopefully a good cracking read. I'll certainly give it a go. Vote up, vote down, your choice. No thanks needed. Not of the snowflake generation
