Sometimes you have to fight terror with terror. One last atrocity tips the balance of global sanity as Middle Eastern fanatics mount a merciless Christmas Eve assault on Heathrow Airport. But from out of the carnage rises a crack anti-terrorist squad led by Lynch: cool, unflinching and utterly deadly. Together they form an audacious plot to take the tactics of terror back to the heart of the ultimate terrorist state. Their target is a man who's held a submachine gun to the head of Western democracy for over a decade. His assassination is their mission. The land of his lunatic regime is their territory. And his name is Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.
