Queen and Country, Volume 1: Operacion: tierra rota (Operation: Broken Ground) Book

As part of the Special Section of Britain's Ministry of Intelligence, Tara Chace is one of a handful of operatives codenamed Minders-the people they call when politics gets particularly dirty. In a world of questionable morals, is it better to assassinate a general in the Russian mafia, to take his life, rather than allow him to peddle more guns and drugs in underprivileged countries? Tara's bosses seem to think so, and she is dispatched to Kosovo to take him out. Unfortunately for her, the action forces the Russian mafia to ask their own question-once someone has taken the life of one of their officers, can they continue to let that person live? The action sequences are fast-paced and exciting, but the truly engaging part of the book is how sharply Rucka and Rolston are able to define even minor characters. --Publisher's Weekly
