Summary

Nomad was explosive. This is nuclear....

The new thriller from internationally best-selling author James Swallow.

Move over Jason Bourne, Marc Dane is here....

A vicious Serbian gang whose profits come from fake nuclear weapons. A disgraced Russian general, with access to the real thing. A vengeful Somali warlord, with a cause for which he'd let the world burn. A jaded government agency, without the information to stop him. Only one man sees what's coming. And even he might not be able to prevent it....

Racing breathlessly from uncharted CIA prisons to the skyscrapers of Dubai, from stormbeaten oil rigs off the African coast to the ancient caverns beneath the city of Naples, Marc Dane returns in the incredible new action thriller from the internationally best-selling author of Nomad.

A Good Read

This second book was lacking slightly for me, I really enjoyed book one and looking forward to book three. Book two - Exile was just that little bit too far fetched in places. No matter how fit you are and how lucky you are, you and your colleagues wouldn't come out of this alive!! All said and done - it's a book and hopefully not too much is taken from real life!

Good Book.Not quite as good as the first book..

Good Book.Not quite as good as the first book, (Nomad)
Its still a good read, has pace, and stories just fine. perhaps a bit drawn out over 16 1/2 hours.
But you are getting value for money I guess, I will no doubt read the third book as well in time..

Action packed sequel

Great sequel and wonderful narration. Mark Dane is a great character and the interplay with old friend is always engaging. Definitely read Nomad first.

High Tech, High Octane Thriller

I think, by now, we all know what to expect in a Marc Dane thriller and this novel delivers those Bourne like thrills in abundance. Yes, our hero is made of Teflon and yes he needs to get his love life in order as well as his private life but give him a break, he's busy saving the world again. Superbly narrated, this is best listened to in big chunks but don't analyse the plot too deeply. It is what it is - a modern glossy thriller that has clearly got 'film me' written all over it. Just buckle up and enjoy the ride!

It's OK - ish

I have to agree with other reviewers who said that some of the action sequences were a little ludicrous, they certainly required the listener to suspend disbelief rather more than I would have liked. I also noticed that the author couldn't make up his mind if he was writing for the US or the UK market, several times the narrator said 'dove' instead of 'dived' but later in the story 'dived' was used. Not a big issue but something that shouldn't really happen in today's computer written world and editing should really have picked it up. I still largely enjoyed the story, Colin Mace is a very good narrator and I probably would have given it 5 stars if it were not for these slight disappointments.

Really exciting throughout

If you want fast paced, slightly cheesy action with lots of colourful characters, this is for you.
