Set against the volatile backdrop of the Middle East, Strela is a gripping political thriller inspired by actual events from the 1970s. The narrative centres on a deadly Russian surface-to-air missile, codenamed Strela, which threatens to destabilise the oil-rich Sultanate of Oman and the strategically vital Straits of Hormuz.
The story follows Sean Pearson, an ex-RAF pilot thrust into the heart of a guerrilla conflict, and Hassan, who remains loyal to the Sultan amidst the rising chaos. Standing in their way is Talaal, a revolutionary trained in Russian terror tactics, and the enigmatic Jameel, a woman torn between two worlds, obsessed with hunting down the revolutionary. Moving from the clinical secrecy of Russian missile sites to the intense, shifting allegiances of Cairo and the unforgiving deserts of Oman, this novel weaves a tale of international intrigue, espionage, and survival. As the Strela weapon is readied for deployment, the protagonists are locked into a high-stakes race against time. For fans of classic espionage fiction, this is a pulse-pounding account of modern warfare and ideological warfare.
