Consequences

Peter Dorman-Smythe, one of the leaders with World Designs Ltd., has been kidnapped by members of an upstart Islamic group called the Taliban, who are holding him captive in Afghanistan. Four of the organization’s most effective operatives are summoned. Their orders: Find Peter and bring him out. Alive.

The team is a seasoned one – brothers Salvadore and Raúl San Martín, and Jorge Grazzini, along with Enrique Etchemendigaray. They plunge into the harsh and unforgiving wilderness of rural Afghanistan, surrounded on all sides by perilous terrain, hostile factions of battling warlords and, most treacherous of all, the violent men who inhabit the world of opium trafficking.

But the seed of doubt has already been planted. Has Peter decided to set himself up as a Taliban hostage in order to try a bit of blackmail? It’s a dangerous game – dangerous for the organization’s operatives, that is – and one that could have far-reaching consequences.
