Wild Justice Kindle Edition
“The blonde girl held up her left hand and showed him the shiny grey egg. ‘This is a special grenade, designed for killing the occupants of a battle tank,’she said quietly. ‘It could blow the fuselage of this aircraft open like a paper bag or kill by concussion any human being within fifty yards.’ She watched their faces, saw the fear bloom like an evil flower.” One man wants to rule the world. One man needs to stop him. A passenger plane bound for London is taken hostage by the Action Commando for Human Rights. The passengers’only hope is Peter Stride, leader of Thor Command, who uncovers the real leader of this operation, a shadowy figure known only as Caliph with plans as mysterious as they are violent. When Thor Command obtains evidence that Caliph has agents in almost every country, and is behind nearly every major terrorist activity, Peter understands that no one close to him is safe. But he also learns Caliph’s ultimate, terrifying goal: control of the entire world. Is Peter capable of doing what it takes to stop Caliph —once and for all?

From the Back Cover
No one equals acclaimed New York Times bestselling master, Wilbur Smith, when it comes to international intrigue and heart-pumping adventure. Now he pits a ruthless soldier and a beautiful woman of mystery against an evil genius with the power to hold the world hostage...
For One Mane, The Message is Fear
It begins as a routine trip to South Africa. It ends in a nightmare for 400 passengers taken hostage. The hijacker is a beautiful pawn for an elusive figure-codename Caliph, whose campaign of terror has just begun. And the one man who rescued Flight 070 is the only man who can stop Caliph dead in his tracks.
For One Freedom Fighter, The Mission is Fearless
His name is Major Peter Stride, commanding agent of a crack team of anti-terrorist operatives. He's used to doing battle-and winning. But when his help is sought by the mysterious widow of one of Caliph's victims, and his own daughter is kidnapped, Stride plunges into a darker and more personal war than ever before. A war that will take him across the oceans and continents, closer to a shocking betrayal...and closer still to a madman who has the power to destroy the world and who knows Stride's every move- down to what could be his last one...

Its not a historical novel like many of his earlier ones, but a more modern story. Its quite an adventure, sometimes a bit far fetched, but in this case, it just adds to the excitement.
How they actually hijacked the plane, is sort of a wake-up call, it was so easy, so slick.
This is one is different than his earlier books, but its not to be missed.
At that time most graduates of Universities on the Western Europe continent, came out with mixed ideology. Either Marxists, or Anarchists. As seen later such souls are easily manipulated.
Gen. Peter Stride is good example of British upper class officer. Trained to take on terror attacks of our modern times
Magda the ex-Soviet spy does credit to her trainers and the character and is unforgettable.
When Peter Stride, incognito, is scheduled to meet the Caliph in a castle on the cliffs of Jericho and discovers that it is the commander in chief of Atlas, very well connected to the White House and more, is the Caliph himself.
To me it seems that the model is taken from Rashid al Sinan (Old man of the mountain) Grand Master of The Assassins, the fanatic murderous Islamic sect in the time of the Crusades.
At the time of the story The Seven Sisters have lost the oil monopoly and money created in the Gulf of Persia are getting power, also it can be seen that wealth is moving from the west to the east.
The sinister hawks do not take it lightly and apply methods of the Assassins to pave their own way.
The message could be in this book: Be aware of the Hawks. Trouble they make affects us all.
The fictional history was right on through our the nobel.
