Fist Of God




As Saddam Hussein prepares to invade Kuwait, his most terrifying weapon must be destroyed before it can decimate the Allied forces.

'As in The Day of the Jackal and a host of other gripping tales, the master has done a brilliant job' (The Times)

In a matter of weeks Saddam Hussein will invade Kuwait and the Allied forces need all the information they can get to help the resistance. But when they intercept a top-secret fragment of radio referring to a lethal weapon that could rain down death and destruction, one man must risk everything to stop it.

SAS Major Mike Martin is sent undercover into Kuwait to assess Iraqi strength. Taken into the heart of Baghdad by enemy forces, he is tasked with 'running' the Iraqi spy known as Jericho, a sleeper who can provide vital information. But at a price.

This is the most hazardous mission of Martin's life: to find and destroy the secret weapon they call Qubth-ut-Allah - the Fist of God.
