The Afghan

When British and American intelligence discover a major Al Qaeda operation in the works, they need information about the attack. What can they do? With no sources in Al Qaeda, it¡s impossible to plant someone. Unless... The Afghan is Izmat Khan, a prisoner of Guantanamo Bay, and a former commander of the Taliban. The Afghan is also Colonel Mike Martin, a 25-year veteran of war zones around the world, born and raised in Iraq. For the intelligence agencies will attempt to pass off Martin as the trusted Khan... He¡ll need extraordinary luck - nothing can prepare Martin for the dark world he is about to enter. Or for the terrible things he will find there.

  • "After learning of a devastating al-Qaeda terrorist attack, British intelligence makes an extraordinary move. They have a British intelligence agent, Mike Martin, impersonate a Taliban commander released from Guantanamo. Martin then attempts to go undercover in the world's most feared and dangerous organization in an desperate bid to ward off catastrophe."@en
  • "PLAYAWAY. When British and American intelligence catch wind of a major Al-Qaeda operation in the works, they are primed for action. But what can they do? They know nothing about the attack. They have no sources in Al-Qaeda, and it's impossible to plant someone. Impossible, unless ... The Afghan is Colonel Mike Martin, a 25-year veteran of war zones around the world: a dark, lean man born and raised in Iraq. In an attempt to stave off disaster, the intelligence agencies will try to do what no one has ever done before - pass off a Westerner as an Arab among Arabs ... - Container."

  • "Something big is about to happen--the intelligence community is certain of it. Exactly what will happen and where is open to wild speculation. To date, it has been impossible to infiltrate Al Qaeda, but now a daring new plan is in the works. A notorious Afghan named Izmat Khan, held at Guantanamo Bay for five years, is finally going to be released--or is he? Meanwhile, Iraq-born Colonel Mike Martin begins his impossibly dangerous mission."@en
