On the US-Mexico border, a bloodthirsty war is raging. Drug cartels - including perhaps the most violent and highly trained in the world, Los Zetas - are rampant, butchering and killing thousands of victims in the most obscene ways imaginable.

When the CIA reaches out to the British military for help, SAS legend Danny Black and his team are despatched to give the Zetas a taste of their own medicine. Working under the radar, their mission is to sow death and mayhem among the cartel, and to coax out from hiding their elusive leader, Z1.

But as Danny is about to find out, the cartel's arm is long, their sickening strategies underhand and brutal. And in the dog-eat-dog world of this dirty war, nothing is ever quite as it seems. It will take all the SAS team's skill to break through to the heart of the cartel. And even that might not be enough...

I've enjoyed all the Danny Black series but this book was by far my favourite of them. Couldn't stop reading from the very moment I picked it up.

About the author

Former SAS corporal and the only man to escape death or capture during the Bravo Two Zero operation in the 1991 Gulf War, Chris Ryan turned to writing thrillers to tell the stories the Official Secrets Act stops him putting in his non-fiction. His novels have gone on to inspire the Sky One series Strike Back.


Born near Newcastle in 1961, Chris Ryan joined the SAS in 1984. During his ten years there he was involved in overt and covert operations and was also sniper team commander of the anti-terrorist team. During the Gulf War, Chris Ryan was the only member of an eight-man unit to escape from Iraq, where three colleagues were killed and four captured. It was the longest escape and evasion in the history of the SAS. For this he was awarded the Military Medal.

He wrote about his experiences in the bestseller The One That Got Away, which was adapted for screen, and since then has written three other works of non-fiction, over twenty bestselling novels and a series of childrens' books.
