About this listen

Edwin Coker, nicknamed 'Boot', is a case officer at MI6. When a hacker falls into his hands and reveals details of a secret meeting, Boot conceives a plan to strike back - with a bomb that will seriously damage the Russian operation.

Boot turns to Merc, an ex-soldier fighting in Iraq and a gun-for-hire, to deliver the explosives into Russia and bring the hacker back. But things do not go to plan, and his mission becomes near impossible. The scene is set for a classic story of pursuit, evasion and a battle for survival.

Think until now I have enjoyed all the Gerald Seymour books I have listen to.

Although most Gerald Seymour books have several threads, that all come together in the end, this didn’t hold my attention after a couple of hours of trying.

The situation was not helped as I didn’t like the narrators performance.

Disappointing for a Gerald Seymour book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Great story especially after what happened with Russian spies in Salisbury! Well read but too long and all the Wellington stuff a distraction.

Topical

Gerald Seymour is one of a small band fantastic story tellers. The quality of his writing ensures that the listener is kept entertained throughout the tale.

One of my favourite authors.

Seymour is the consummate story teller

I really enjoyed this. Story is well developed. Well paced and certainly more intricate than your average audiobook. Requires that attention be duly payed.
