Exponential Ten  (English, Paperback, Levick Chris)

It is May 2002 as Sergeant Simon Knight, also known as Darkly, intently listens as he creeps through the cold, dark Afghan desert and an unoccupied village, constantly searching for something out of place. Darkly, who is heading a mission to safely extract two British soldiers and two interpreters who have gone missing outside Kandahar, has no idea that in mere seconds, he will make a split second decision that leads him to the men and their rescue. Now it is present day and Darkly has moved on from the navy and Special Forces and is heading security for Number Ten Downing Street and the British prime minister who is facing a host of seemingly insurmountable challenges. But what no one knows is that a group of corrupt politicians is unfurling a dark plan to manipulate climate change. When Darkly stumbles onto the conundrum, he designs a simple solution, with help from a trusted friend, that places him at odds with the powers trusted to keep everyone safe. As his quest to save lives brings him romance, now only time will tell if he will receive forgiveness for taking on the establishment. In this thrilling tale, a military hero on security detail for the British prime minister becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue as unethical politicians covertly work to manipulate climate change.
