The Reluctant Hero

Als sein früherer Freund Zac Kravitz in tödlicher Gefahr ist, begibt sich Harry Jones auf eine gefährliche Mission in das abgeschiedene Kargistan. Als er unverhofft auf eine britische Parlamentarier-Delegation trifft, findet er in der unabhängigen Martha eine Verbündete. Zusammen klügeln sie einen Plan aus, um Zac aus dem grausamen Gefängnis Bodima zu befreien. Doch nicht viel später wird Harry erkennen, dass nichts ist wie es scheint und jemand ihn in das Netz einer weltweiten Verschwörung gelockt hat.

Résumé
When Harry Jones discovers that former friend Zac Kravitz's life is in danger, a debt of honour sends him on a perilous rescue mission to Ta'argistan, a mountainous and landlocked former Soviet republic bordering Russia, China and Afghanistan. Muscling his way onto a delegation of MPs who happen to be paying the state a visit, Harry finds an unlikely ally in the stubbornly independent Martha, and together they devise a plan to break Zac out of the grim prison Bodima. But when the attempt backfires and he finds himself stuck in prison in Zac's place, little by little Harry realises that all is not as it seemed and that he has been lured into a web of international conspiracy.
