Operation Dark Hour

Operation Dark Hour A Talon Unit Thriller | Book 1 As Kabul falls and the world watches in stunned silence, a covert Australian SAS team is deployed on a mission that doesn't officially exist. Commander Nate Harwood and the elite Talon Unit are tasked with extracting a high-value intelligence asset—codename Nightingale—from the crumbling heart of Afghanistan. But what begins as a daring rescue spirals into a deadly race against time as the team uncovers a betrayal that could collapse Western intelligence operations across the globe. Haunted by past missions and hardened by years in the shadows, Talon Unit must navigate collapsing alliances, rogue operatives, and a ruthless enemy who anticipates their every move. Among the chaos is Victor Maddox, a former ally turned lethal adversary, orchestrating a shadow war from behind the scenes—and he's one step ahead. In a world where loyalty has a price and truth is buried beneath layers of classified lies, Talon Unit fights not only for survival—but for the soul of everything they swore to protect. Operation Dark Hour is the explosive first entry in the Talon Unit series: a gritty, pulse-pounding military thriller packed with sharp tactics, moral complexity, and adrenaline-charged action. Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Mark Greaney, and Matthew Reilly.
