About this listen

The brand new, action-packed thriller from Stephen Leather.
Terrorists have shot down a British helicopter in West Africa and taken the crew hostage. Their lives are on the line and the British government is refusing to negotiate. The pilot is Liam Shepherd, and only his father - Dan 'Spider' Shepherd of MI5 - can help.
Shepherd and an SAS team fly out to the badlands of Mali to rescue the kidnapped Brits.

But the mission takes Shepherd away from an investigation in a high security prison that is about to explode into violence. Hundreds of lives are at risk, and Shepherd is running out of time...

Critic reviews

Praise for Stephen Leather
Stephen Leather writes really exciting action thrillers. It's like being there yourself (Chris Ryan, author of Zero 22)
The fast-paced action scenes are expertly choreographed; the description of settings - from the luxurious bars where Ankara's gangsters gather, to Dubai's glittering skyscrapers - is brisk and richly detailed. Leather knows the inner workings of the security services. But beyond the enthralling storyline he also asks some tough questions about contemporary Britain - without preaching.

It was like 2 separate stories but attention to detail was outstanding. Stephen Leather and Paul Thornley are a fantastic partnership

The narrator brings these books into the front room as though you are there

Good characters, a great storyline , slick and fast based action. That’s why people buy Stephen’s books, like Spider, he never lets us down. Well done. An the narration by Paul Thornley of course as ever is top notch. Keep up the great work.

Enjoyable story, a bit cheesy but reasonably accurate (in a cute way;). Would recommend it for some easy listening.

Good book, easy listening

I really enjoy the stories including Dan, Matt, Liam and all. Great pace of action though the full name of the weapons gets old quickly. “He carried a pistol/rifle”
Would suffice. No need for lengthy make & model.

Another great team story.

Another brilliant story by Stephen Leather, depicting the art of the unknown with MI5 and SAS really gripping your attention throughout!

Hurry up and write another one, I want to know how Walker is going to get on!

Another success!
