Early Christmas present for me - Redback by Lindy Cameron:

Blurb from the book:  On an otherwise tranquil Pacific Island resort, ex-army Commander Bryn Gideon and the crack Australian Redback Retrieval Team stage a high-level rescue bid to recover hostages captured by Rebels.  Thousands of miles away, American journalist Scott Dreher is researching computer wargames, and finds a pirated copy that reveals shady arms dealings and disturbing hints of connections between government agencies and known terrorists.

First paragraph:  It was the last good night of Lord James McQuade:  he'd been wined, dined and royally screwed.  Truffles, a vintage red and sweet Miss Jones.  Sixty-six years old tomorrow and not destined to outlive his wolfhound.
