Tying the Gordian Knot

Alternative contemporary history concerning a certain ongoing war in the Middle East, where the bad guys are as strong as early intelligence estimates projected. A private military company sets things right in the fashion of Frederick Forsyth's novel 'The Fist of God'. The action is centered in the marshlands of Iraq, outside the focus of world attention, where a PMC faces arms dealers from Moscow in competition for the Marsh Arabs.
