The first book in the explosive Mantra 6 thriller series featuring operative John Devereaux – soon to be a major motion picture

How far would you go to protect your country?

John Devereaux, an SAS Warrant Officer, is seconded to the Australian Secret Intelligence Service and handed a mission that will test him to his very core. The operationally deniable mission: infiltrate into Cambodia via parachute from 37,000 feet in the dead of night and assassinate two high-value targets, alone, and with dozens of enemy soldiers in his way.

From the relentless jungles of Cambodia to the chaotic streets of Sydney and Bangkok, to the secretive dens of Moscow and the extravagant French Riviera, explosive SAS and ASIS action uncovers a shadowy and powerful organisation that brings us face to face with the Russian Mafia.

Unbeknown to Devereaux, the Director-General of the Secret Intelligence Service, Magnus Webb, is testing him for a far more important role – to head an off-the-books clandestine cell buried deep inside this secret organisation and known only as MANTRA-6.

Devereaux's mission has only just begun …
