Brace for Impact by Chris Williams - This gripping thriller opens amidst a fierce battle between a top Special Forces A-Team and the Taliban on a remote mountain side in eastern Afghanistan in 2002 and takes us to the present day, where a high level al-Qaeda operative is planning revenge for the death of his family. Set in 2012, the book introduces Jake Walker, who has left the Special Forces and earns a living as a consultant. Jake learns that he can’t hide from his past forever and that he still has the combat skills which earned him the Medal of Honor ten years earlier. Featuring battle scenes in Afghanistan and Iraq and characters from al-Queda and the Colombian FARC, this thriller takes us to the Whitehouse, gives an insight into the investigative skills of the CIA and the NSA, reveals secrets of the cocaine trade in Colombia and takes us to the dangerous region where Panama borders Columbia, the Darien Province.
