“The task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you.” Nigel Seed's 160 Degrees East: A Fight For Survival And The Need To Right A Terrible Wrong is an engaging military novel. Major Jim Wilson and his team are given an assignment by the British Prime Minister to retrieve a U.S. prototype military tank that’s missing in Russian territory. The Russians are aware of their clandestine mission so Jim agrees to their proposal, angry that he and his team were double-crossed. While traveling deep into the mountains of British Columbia, the soldiers meet Megan, an unassuming woman when unarmed. They engage in combat with ruthless, powerful persons who want the vehicle for themselves, while discovering a nauseating scandal that could shock the world if exposed.
This is the second book I’ve read from the Jim Wilson series by Nigel Seed and thought it was even better than the previous one. It’s a terrific military adventure that has all the right features of wit, double-crossing, and cleverly orchestrated combats that make a good story. Major Jim’s soldiers, Geordie and Ivan, are just as experienced and sharp-minded as Jim. The three make a great team as each has particular skills, compassion, and very dry sense of humour. Nigel Seed also included an informative section about military vehicles, weaponry, ranks and other details that were relevant to the story. Nigel Seed's 160 Degrees East: A Fight For Survival And The Need To Right A Terrible Wrong is an interesting novel.
