King's Gambit - by Anders M Hansen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The Danish government is determined to secure victory in the upcoming general election. The war on terror has been positioned as the central theme of the vote, but the administration soon gets entangled in a web of political turmoil as Islamist terrorists take a Danish soldier hostage in a remote, undisclosed location. Amidst the chaos, an unexpected player enters the game - Holger Berg, a brilliant and unyielding lawyer with a reputation for seeking justice. With a background as a special forces soldier, he is framed as a deniable pawn in a murky plan to rescue the hostage. Holger Berg is soon ensnared in a nightmare of lies, deception and denial that reaches far beyond the Danish borders. Each step puts his own life, his family's safety and the very honour that defines him at risk. In this high-stakes thriller, Berg discovers the true cost of honour and the lengths to which he will have to go to save his nation and its soldiers from the jaws of terror. The fate of Denmark hangs in the balance, and the world watches on with bated breath as the deadly game plays out

Review Quotes

"Gripping and thrilling, and underpinned by a rigorous sense of authenticity, which is hardly surprising, for Anders Hansen is the real deal. With more plot twists and bite than a raging anaconda, the tactics, techniques and tradecraft are to die for." Damien Lewis, author The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare "Now and again a new thriller writer comes on to the market of whom one knows that there cannot be a shadow of doubt over the authenticity of what you are about to read. Such a new writer is Anders M. Hansen whose background guarantees that whatever he describes he really has been there. On that basis alone let me recommend the book you are holding." Frederick Forsyth, author The Day of the Jackal
