About This Book
The Young Adult Edition - As thrilling as the Adult Edition, but edited with the younger reader in mind. Harry Thorne is a Marine Sniper. He's a hero and a tough-guy with a knack for getting himself into trouble - and taking his friends with him. As usual, his last mission didn't work out the way it should have and he got himself blown up... a bit. Oh, and shot-twice. Now walking with the aid of crutches, Harry thinks his life as a marine sniper is over. He's wrong. Shaun O'Conner is a sergeant with the Serious Organised Crime Agency but still catches the graveyard shift, watching a drug warehouse and waiting for something to happen. But when it does, it happens so fast he finds only bodies. Curly Sue and Big Betty have brought little Tweetie Pie along as muscle on the drug buy for their boss, Patrick O'Conner. Shaun's hated brother. Tweetie is wearing a blouse and calf-length white trousers accentuated by a dainty gold ankle bracelet. And he has a machinegun. These loose threads are drawn inextricably tighter by the arrival of the president of the United States, in London for a international conference. Harry discovers that the landing of Airforce One has coincided with the arrival in the city of three Cheytac Intervention sniper rifles, the finest long-range sniper rifles in the world. Patrick O'Conner wants to move up in the world, and gets his chance when the Russian, Valentin Tal, and three snipers arrive in London. To collect their rifles. Harry and Shaun must work together if they are to have any chance of stopping a politically devastating crime - the assassination of the president of the United States on foreign soil. 5 * Reviews: 'Just an absolutely outstanding read. ...I thought the book was written for a screenplay and was expecting Tom Cruise to cruise in and take up a role...' '...I have to tell you its better than any of the recent thrillers that I have paid nine to fifteen dollars for. It's a page turner that I could not put down, and I would buy any book this guy writes' '...this book is a really great thriller type novel. I would recommend this book to everyone.'
