Stand by, stand by: Coming home after the Gulf War the SAS trooper, sergant Geordie Sharp, finds it difficult to cope with his ordinary duties. When his squadron is posted to Ireland he launches a personal vendetta against a certain IRA member. Zero option; SAS sergeant Geordie Sharp, locked in a desperate private battle with the IRA, is required to undertake two top-secret missions. His first target is an Iraqi who defected to Libya after the Gulf war. If the mission goes wrong, the authorities will deny all involvement. The second mission is a high-level political assassination in mainland Britain. If he fails, his four-year old son will die.
