About this ebook
'The master of the political thriller strikes again' Kirkus
'An utterly believable story that moves along at breakneck pace... Extraordinarily impressive' Daily Mail
--------------------
AN UNWINNABLE WAR
Cocaine is worth billions of dollars a year to the drug cartels. It causes misery, poverty and death. And slowly its power is spreading...
A MAN ON A MISSION
Ex-CIA special ops, Paul Devereux, intellectual, dedicated and utterly ruthless, is given what seems like an impossible task: Stop the drug barons, whatever it costs. At his disposal, anything he wants - men, resources, money. He must assemble a team equal to the lawless men who control this deadly trade.
AN UNTHINKABLE SOLUTION
Up to now the drug cartels have had it their way. Up to now, the forces of law and order have played by the rules. That is about to change. Those rules no longer apply... and a dirty war is about to get a whole lot dirtier...

Great story teller but seems to have lost his sharp edge. Recent offerings feel as though they are written on a conveyour belt.

Not that good. Boring, lots of details, stupid ending.

Excellent story from an exceptional writer. Amazing mixture of fact and fiction.
