Here is a gripping novel, inspired by real-life events, about a private team of British vigilantes that sets out to eliminate a gang of cold-blooded contract killers. From 1977 to 1990, four former British soldiers die, one by one, supposedly due to accident or illness. But soon a link is established between the victims: a shared mission in the desert kingdom of Oman, where they fought for a sultan against insurgents and ruined the life of a rival sheikh, who in turn has sent a band of assassins to methodically slay the soldiers and salvage his pride. Now these clever assassins are on the run from an underground group of SAS vets with nothing to lose, no time to waste, and a desire to dispense their own form of justice—no matter the cost. Previously published as The Feather Men Review: Recently read . . . for the 2nd time - This was a really good book and though I liked the movie, it would have had to have been a miniseries to colapse and condence the time and amount of content that the book offers. I found the book hard to put down. I did not want to stop reading it even when 1 AM rolled round and I had to be up for work by 5 AM. You get a lot more character complexity in the book than the movie, you understand why the Sheik had conducted his revenge, Danny the assassin is not who you think he is, under the surface, the layers of his personality show through, Spike the Ex- SAS man tough as nails, God Save the Queen, sacrificing ALL for his beleif in counrty and Duty even after forced retirment(a quality many SAS men exude) Ran Fiennes, is Ex-SAS and knows his stuff. there is even a nod to "Lofty" John Wiseman in the book (a 26 or 28 year veteran of the SAS and author of "The SAS survival handbook.) Do yourself a favor and read this book, a really Spy Vs. Spy, special ops, James Bondish, Queen and Country, book. Did I mention it is based in fact? I know, I know, based in fact is subject to conjecture but the events described in his book you can look up for yourself, because Ran Fiennes was there and was part of the operation that got the ball rolling with the assassins in the first place. So in any event I thought it was a great book and I highly recomned it. Review: Good read! - Unlike the movie, you get more depth in Ranulph Finnes's original book about these events. This is presented as a "Novel" because (wink) (wink), third parties involving the British government would have otherwise stopped it. Mr. Finnes makes it clear that it is really a true story. Up to the reader. Not an especially easy read, but I enjoyed it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,018,803 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #2,136 in Assassination Thrillers (Kindle Store) #4,143 in Historical Thrillers (Books) #4,194 in Assassination Thrillers (Books) | ## Images ![Killer Elite (previously published as The Feather Men): A Novel (Random House Movie Tie-In Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ovAuBQ1KL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recently read . . . for the 2nd time *by S***. on October 18, 2013* This was a really good book and though I liked the movie, it would have had to have been a miniseries to colapse and condence the time and amount of content that the book offers.

I was reminded of it when talking to someone in October and decided to reread it. Still found it completely captivating and extremely well written. Strongly suggest you give it a go. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/98332906-killer-elite-previously-published-as-the-feather-men-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/98332906-killer-elite-previously-published-as-the-feather-men-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
