The Fifth Hostage - Terence Strong

He is a journalist who knows too much. She is his lover, a Norwegian press photographer who shares his deadly secret. They are held in revolution-torn Iran, and Khomeini wants them to talk. Britain is determined that they should not.

Their fate lies in the hands of an SAS team that must disappear into the hostile turmoil of Iran in a desperate rescue bid against the clock.

A gruelling ordeal that calls for ingenuity, sacrifice and courage in a dangerous and desolate terrain – cut off from the outside world.

The Fifth Hostage is a story of passions and loyalties tested to destruction as the sweeping shadow of fanaticism and terror darkens the land.
