The Squad: Sometimes Terrorists Just Pick On the Wrong Country - Softcover

A fast-paced spy adventure thriller set in modern Ireland, the story connects Ireland's dramatic post-conflict landscape with the global war on terror. Two aging ex-IRA members are re-united to hunt down an ISIS gang in Ireland. After a day of multiple suicide bombings in Dublin these retired Provos realise there are more would-be martyrs in the capital. In a frantic race against time to find them they call on the assistance of an old adversary - a retired Special Branch officer - and from two newcomers to Ireland; a medical doctor from Morocco and a young ex-paratrooper Polish immigrant. All that stands between Ireland and certain carnage is this unlikely alliance of misfits.
