Black Site: A Delta Force Novel

Dalton Fury. St. Martin’s, $25.99 (352p) ISBN 978-0-312-66837-2

Former Delta Force commander Fury, author of the nonfiction bestseller Kill Bin Laden, makes his fiction debut with a thriller that crackles with gut-wrenching action and authenticity. Kolt Raynor, a former Delta Force officer disgraced after a botched operation in Pakistan, can barely function as a private security guard because of his drinking. When evidence suggests that some of the men involved in Raynor’s earlier failure are still alive, Raynor gets a chance to redeem himself—by scouting the mountain compound where the men are held captive in Pakistan. The impetuous, arrogant Kolt manages to not only fulfill his mission but also take out superior al-Qaeda and Taliban forces in a rescue effort that could break up a planned terrorist attack headed by Daoud al-Amriki, an American-born al-Qaeda leader. The open ending will leave readers eager to see more of Raynor and the warriors of Delta Force in the sequel. Agent: Scott Miller, Trident Media Group. (Feb.)
