Blurb: 
Nick Stone, Andy McNab"s series SAS agent, is off the Firm"s regular payroll owing to a major screwup in his last assignment that left his best friend"s family slaughtered--except for the one child who survived. Little Kelly needs expensive treatment for the post-traumatic stress that"s turned her nearly catatonic, so Nick takes on a freelance assignment that gets him mixed up with Russian organized crime--in particular, with an enigmatic mob boss who has designs on some Finnish cybertechnology. When Nick realizes it"s not industrial espionage that he"s involved with but military secrets, he"s caught between warring factions of the Russian Mafia and the Anglo-American alliance of intelligence agencies. The Westerners will do anything to keep the Echelon program out of the hands of Valentin Lebed--the Chechnyan Mafioso who makes Nick an offer he can"t refuse--and the Maliskia, a gang of rival Russian criminals who want to derail Lebed"s plans and take over Echelon themselves.
