Former special ops soldier Alex Reeve is one of members of the United Kingdom’s secretive SC9, an elite security service with a licence to neutralise the country’s most dangerous enemies.
As the team’s assignments are off the books, no one in Britain even knows SC9 exists. The team consists of a highly trained crew of various ex military or ex police, headed by leader and mentor Tony Maxwell.
After passing the test to join SC9, they are assigned as Operative 62. And Alex is Operative 66.
One day, Maxwell ambushes Alex by pointing a gun at him in his office, declaring he’d been named Fox Red - a traitor and mole. Finding himself the target and accused of treason, Alex goes on the run. He also vows to clear his name and to find out who the real traitor of their team is and to stop him.
Along his way, Alex meets Connie, a nurse who helps him after he sustains a bullet shot. She tags along with him when he saves both her life and that of her friends in her apartment. Exciting and fast paced, this is a departure from Andy McDermott’s usual novels about Nina Wilde and Eddie Chase. Perhaps, this is a fantastic route for the author to create a new series for the fans.
