The Reluctant Hero (Harry Jones Series #3)

by Michael Dobbs

Overview

When Harry Jones discovers that former friend Zac Kravitz's life is in danger, a debt of honour sends him on a perilous rescue mission to Ta'argistan, a mountainous and landlocked former Soviet republic bordering Russia, China and Afghanistan. Muscling his way onto a delegation of MPs who happen to be paying the state a visit, Harry finds an unlikely ally in the stubbornly independent Martha and together they devise a plan to break Zac out of the ancient high-walled prison in the capital, Ashkek. But when, in the depths of winter, the attempt backfires and Harry finds himself taking Zac's place, he realises that he has been lured, unawares, into a terrifying web of international conspiracy.

Editorial Reviews

"If you haven't picked up a Michael Dobbs novel in a while you should . . . He has skillfully carved out a second career for himself as a master of the international thriller, juggling a variety of combustible elements on a global stage."  —Daily Express

"The Harry Brown series has been a big hit in England and could be the same here if word spreads."  —Booklist
