VIPER 8 – The Pit of Hell. All David Baker’s novels are written as standalone books, but are equally written to be a continuation of the Viper series.

Dead bodies are turning up on the southern coast of Britain, either mutilated or with gunshot wounds. The commanders of Viper are ordered by the British Prime Minister to immediately investigate. Viper quickly becomes embroiled in the deep and dark underworld of human trafficking of migrants—or so they think.

What they rapidly discover has a very nasty sting in the tail, not just for Britain but for Europe. Alarming and terrifying is an understatement of what is uncovered. Viper and Viper B properly come together; now both squads are on the hunt. But can they actually stop the catastrophic plans and events?

Black Operations involve activities that are highly clandestine and often outside of standard intelligence or military protocols. They require a significant degree of deception, to conceal who is behind them or to make it appear that some other entity is entirely responsible.

Welcome to the world of VIPER, a secret elite “Black” Operations squad, formed in Margaret Thatcher’s era following the Iranian Siege in London and continuing to this day. A closely guarded British secret, handed down from one Prime Minister to the next. Operations are sanctioned only by the current serving British PM, through Charles Baker, the commander of Viper.
