And so begins a nail-biting, claustrophobic, and explosive thriller that will ultimately lead British operative John Stratton to the Styx penitentiary, America’s undersea prison. How do you break in to a jail below the ocean? Can Stratton get the information back without the government discovering him? And is everyone in the prison really who they seem to be?

About the Author:
A former member of the elite Special Boat Service of the Royal Marines, Duncan Falconer left after over a decade of operational service to work in private security. His other titles include First Into Action, The Hostage, and The Protector.
From Publishers Weekly:
In Falconer's mediocre fourth contemporary thriller to feature Special Boat Services operative John Stratton (after The Operative), a lucky missile strike downs a British helicopter in Afghanistan. From the wreckage, the Taliban retrieve a security case containing a computer chip with data on 1,443 indigenous British- and U.S.-run agents and informants throughout the Middle East. A doctor implants the chip in the body of a Taliban fighter, Durrani, who later winds up in American custody. Fearing embarrassment if the Yanks discover the chip, MI6 send Stratton after Durrani, who's confined in Styx, a secret prison 300 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico for highest-category prisoners and since the announced closure of Guantánamo... a terrorist-detention centre. In order to infiltrate Styx, Stratton takes the place of a look-alike inmate, Nathan Charon, who's being transferred there. Fans of cartoonish action yarns will be the most satisfied. (Apr.)
