'Full-throttle action' - Matt Lynn

Jack Sullivan, the Specialist, doesn't work for any government or take orders from anyone.

He'd rather be his own man and do his own thing but now his goal is the same as that of the American government: to exact revenge for the deaths of 260 American Marines in a terrorist attack in Beirut.

When the government approaches him to carry out the mission on behalf of his country, it is an order he cannot refuse.

Put in charge of one of the most important missions in America's history, Sullivan hand-picks a team of mercenaries to seek vengeance for their country-men.

He must train his team to be the most effective killing squad ever assembled in order to prevent an even larger loss of American lives.

Pitched against terrorists driven by religious fervour and a maniacal dedication to their cause, do Sullivan's army of assassins have what it takes to avenge the massacre of American fighting men?

Can they carry out a Beirut Retaliation?

Beirut Retaliation is the tenth book in the thrilling 'Specialist' series by John Cutter.
