Operation: Black Thorn

Captain James Alderson, callsign “Ghosthound”, was a living legend in the SAS. He had survived more covert missions than most recruits could even dream of. But his last mission pushed him to the edge of humanity and made him Britain’s deadliest weapon.

A terrorist network had planted a bioweapon in London, capable of killing millions. The MI6 agents who tracked the device were already dead. The countdown was ticking. And Alderson was the last hope. His team? Scattered or fallen. His resources? One assault rifle, two pistols, and unbreakable determination. His objective? Defuse the bomb or die trying.

Hunting Through the Night

The trail led him into the catacombs beneath Westminster. In those crumbling tunnels and forgotten corridors, heavily armed mercenaries waited. But Alderson was faster, sharper — and he had no mercy to spare.

Like a shadow, he glided through the darkness, eliminating targets one by one, his combat boots barely making a sound. The mercenaries called him the Ghost of London because no one who saw him lived long enough to say more than a word. But the closer he got to the bomb, the worse the truth became.

The Sacrifice

The bomb was secured with a biometric sensor it would detonate if anyone other than the leader touched it. And that leader lay dead at Alderson’s feet. The only solution? Alderson had to physically hold the bomb, stabilizing it with his heartbeat. He knew what that meant. No escape. No glory. Only death. But he didn’t hesitate.

With trembling fingers, he gripped the bomb, holding it steady as the bomb squad fought their way through the tunnels. His muscles screamed, his vision blurred but he didn’t let go. And when the timer froze at 00:00:03, he collapsed.

The Legend Lives On

Alderson survived - barely. But when he woke up in the hospital, he wasn’t the same soldier who had descended into those tunnels. He was a legend. A man the shadows of London protect. And if the city is ever threatened again, everyone knows: The Ghost will return.
