Description
Gerald Seymour's Holding the Zero is a gripping thriller that follows Gus Peake as he becomes embroiled in a brutal conflict between Kurdish guerillas and Saddam Hussein's military strength in Northern Iraq. With his skills as a marksman, Peake must navigate the treacherous landscape of war to help the guerillas reach their goal: the city of Kirkuk. As the stakes escalate, Peake finds himself locked in a deadly duel with Major Karim Aziz, Saddam's most dedicated and professional sniper. Their confrontation becomes an all-consuming obsession, with only one man able to walk away from the battlefield. The outcome hangs precariously in the balance, as the sound of a single shot echoes through the mountains. With its intense action sequences and gripping narrative, Holding the Zero is a tense and suspenseful read that explores the harsh realities of war and the human cost of conflict.
