Contents |
Helsinki, Nick Stone, ex-SAS, now a 'K' working for the British Secret Intelligence Service on deniable operations, is tough, resourceful, ruthless, highly trained - and desperately in need of cash...
Offered the lucrative freelance job of kidnapping a mafia warlord of the ROC (Russian Organized Crime) and delivering him to St Petersburg, it seems to Stone that his problems are over. In fact, they are only just beginning.
Back in London, Stone is given the chance to earn enough money never to have to do this sort of work again. Stone enters the bleak underworld of the former Soviet republic of Estonia, where unknown aggressors stalk the Arctic landscape, and he soon finds himself caught between implacable enemies. For Russia has embarked upon a concerted cyber-espionage offensive, hacking into some of the West's most sensitive military secrets. American and British intelligence agencies are determined to thwart them. And the mafia are waiting in the wings with their own chilling, brutal solution. Stone soon realises that he is nothing more than a pawn in a much bigger game.[1]
Plot anomaly. In Firewall, Stone states that Colonel Lynn will retire to the family mushroom farm in Wales. Yet in Brute Force (published 2008), Lynn's mushroom farm is located in the East Anglian village of Burnham Overy Staithe.
