After six years in deep cover to penetrate the IRA, Max Avery was a man on the edge. A man starting to crack, who wanted out. But London and Washington had other ideas. Iraq had invaded Kuwait and Saddam Hussein threatened a terror strike to win him the Gulf War before it began. The Western allies needed a stalking horse to get close to the enemy - and Avery was their man. whether he liked it or not.
