This was one of my first Stephen England reads and I was not disappointed. You can tell from the start that there was a lot of research and dedication put into this piece of work. He has some great scene creation ability and is someone that you will.
Russia has a brand-new toy, the Su-57, named correctly by NATO as the ‘Felon’. A new stealth airplane that could turn the tides of war with ease and terrifying precision. ‘The Lion of God’ David Shafron, the Mossad directors right hand man, meets with American CIA chief of station Paul Kiefer regarding the use of these planes in the Syrian conflict. America among other countries has been known to conduct proxy wars or employ the use of other governments or factions to take care of their dirty work. While Shafron isn’t keen on sending his men into the battle on Syrian ground, the networking and windfall that could be garnered from the mission is too much to let pass by. Mohamed Taferi, one of Shafron’s star operators, is tasked with infiltrating the Syrian conflict to help gain support to help destroy the planes and steal vital information. As Taferi works his way into the battle, posing as a financier of greater loyalty to the brotherhood and cause, he must constantly watch his back and play nice. When the chips fall right, the group plans an attack on the Russian base at Khmeimim in which the goal is in sight.
England hits on major points in day-to-day common news feeds, leaning on dysfunctional governments and countries partnering with allies to unite for common good. He also shows the good and bad of every relationship formed and the saying goes keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Savage bloodthirsty humans, desolate areas far from home, and the most chilling undercover job ever makes the story happen fast. England continues the Shadow Warriors series with overwhelming success and a fantastic win in the war on terrorism.
