A handful of men and women will converge on a barren stretch of Yemeni desert. Each of them will need spirit, courage and immense luck to survive the next 48 hours. Corrie Rankin is already a legend at MI6 when he is called back with little regard for the horrors of his recent past.

And once the three misfits are in-country, they must rely on intelligence brought to them by a young British Jihadi - and now turned. And, close to him, is an archaeologist digging in the ruins of the Queen of Sheba' civilisation who will be their cut-out contact point
