The Mark of the Black Widow
Description
'The Mark of the Black Widow’ is an action-packed adventure thriller with a topical theme of terrorism, conspiracy, mystery, suspense, espionage and a cast of realistic characters.
Jon Deller is a Special Forces SAS veteran, whose wife was killed in an act of terrorism by the notorious and most wanted terrorist, the elusive Black Widow. She is the leader of the Quandis, a powerful Islamic terrorist organization and is orchestrating terrorist attacks targeting Kenya and London. Having already killed Deller’s wife this ruthless she-devil unleashes her trained suicide assassins to slaughter hundreds of innocent civilians in the UK with newly developed high explosives forcing the security level to be raised from ‘substantial to ‘severe’. A worldwide Red Notice warrant for her arrest has been issued as a top priority.
The Special Ops soldier, Deller, works for Section 7, a newly set-up counter-terrorist department, headed by a senior SAS officer known only as FINN. As the plot unfolds they discover the Chinese and Russians have allied with Quandis in secret deals which will rock the world.
Also recruited into the new department is an American, Ruth McCall. Once a CIA operative and a White Hat hacker NSA agent, she is seconded from GCHQ. She learns the Chinese intelligence service has been targeting the UK computer defences to blitz the systems of companies working in defence as well as aeronautical firms and power grid networks, water treatment plants and oil pipelines. She hacks into the Chinese cyber defences to discover a new secret weapon has been constructed and skilfully plants a complex Trojan deep into their mainframes as a safeguard in case of future attacks.
Later, FINN learns Russia is supplying IRAN, home of Quandis, with Yellow Cake enriched uranium, enough to build a nuclear bomb. This new discovery threatens not only Israel and its ally the US but the entire Western world.
While the Iranian President wants to annihilate the Jewish civilisation the Black Widow intends to reduce the British government to its knees and take over the country to convert it to Shari’ah Law. In a veil of conspiracy the Secret Intelligence Service has been compromised and Section 7 is now the only body capable of preventing Armageddon. But the Black Widow has ‘moles’ placed deep inside the department with the intention of destroying every agent thus rendering the UK defence systems impotent. Her personal bodyguard is a monstrous giant of a man who has his mind on one thing – killing Deller and taking his teenage daughter for his fifth wife, the equivalent of a slave. Can the Special Forces soldier defy this tyranny to survive and save his daughter?
This fast-paced and gripping thriller, packed with action, will appeal to all readers of this genre and is a must-read from the first page to the dramatic and heart-in-mouth climax.
