Mike Woodhams "Run With the Brave"

In this novel by Mike Woodhams, we see the very welcome return of his character Frank Ryder, the MI6 operative.

We see him attached to a group of American special forces personnel i an operation that could change the outcome of events in the Middle East for the foreseeable future.

The American spy networks in Tehran have been all but destroyed, having been fatally compromised, so the expert help of British Intelligence has been called upon to assist the Americans.

Ryder and his team suddenly find themselves involved in a major battle that involves Iran and Israel, which has imperilled the very existence of the state of Israel.

Ryder and his team join with Israeli special forces and a group of desperate Iranian insurgents to track down and destroy a top secret Iranian missile base which is poised to launch nuclear warheads into Israel.

But the operation runs into difficulties when it becomes apparent that they have a traitor within their group.

Who is the traitor? Can the traitor delay the operation for long enough for the missile strike to be made, thus obliterating Israel in a nuclear firestorm?

Or can the resourceful Frank Ryder save the day and, indeed, the world?

The book is an exciting read and is available at £8.99 from Matador.
