Charlie Swale of the SAS would never have dreamed of betraying his country. But nor would he have dreamed that the Soviets could dupe him. He had been a hero in his day. Then he'd hit the bottle - and then he'd hit the hard times. So when he was given the chance to redeem himself in a top secret SBS mission to Syria, he knew he had to pull it off...Fuelled with a new sense of purpose and ambition, Charlie went to the Middle East. But in the arid, unforgiving desert plains he never realised that he was stepping into a political minefield. And neither did he know that he was on the point of blowing international relations sky-high.
