Prince Hunter

TASK: Penetrate the Royal Navy's Falklands Fleet
TARGET: Sub-Lieutenant HRH Prince Andrew

The Falkland Islands 1982. As conflict erupts between Argentina and Britain, former Argentine naval officer Paolo (Paul) Hawker - half English, half Argentinian - is abducted into a life-and-death deal with two dangerous devils: the military Junta that he despises, and the Irish Republican Army.
An IRA hit squad has Hawker's wife and daughter targeted in England, where he thought they were safe. Unless he can kidnap helicopter pilot Prince Andrew to Argentine territory from the midst of the Royal Navy task force, they will die.
Aboard a damaged yacht, Hawker embarks on a virtual suicide mission. In command of a handful of untrustworthy IRA terrorists, he must struggle against the overwhelming might of the British fleet, against wild South Atlantic weather, and against the clock: 36 desperate hours to take a prince hostage, to save his wife and little girl from being shot to pieces.
From daring action on the sea and in the air, through international intrigue in the streets of Buenos Aires, to the spectre of the IRA arming with Exocet missiles, Prince Hunter is a story straight from the historic headlines of 1982 which finds new resonance with the headlines of today.
