Synopsis
The mission is to take down a high-value player in the war against Al-Qaeda.
It is the brainchild of an old, fat fool called Jericho. In his striped cricket blazer, never without a G&T, he is a sweating figure of fun among the ex-pats across the border in Muscat.
Yet perhaps he is not quite as old, or foolish,
or even as fat as he appears.
Nor as harmless.
Welcome to Jericho's War: its weaponry is state-of-the-art, its brutality as timeless as the desert.
