Summary

An explosive thriller from former MI5 officer, Tom Marcus, author of the best-selling Soldier Spy, sees the Blindeye team take down a terrifying threat to UK national security.

When no one knows you exist, you don’t have to play by the rules....

Meet former MI5 officer Matt Logan, now part of a totally deniable government organisation known as ‘Blindeye’, with full licence to do whatever it takes to neutralize threats to the UK’s national security.

When intelligence comes through that the Kremlin plans to launch a terror attack in London, Logan and the team set in motion a surveillance operation on a billionaire Russian oligarch who may be connected with the incoming threat.

As they dig into the man’s life, they soon discover a network of incredibly dangerous individuals whose plans could tear the nation apart. Battling personal demons of his own, Logan must defend his country from a terrifying enemy, or die trying.... 

Defend or Die is the second in Tom Marcus's breathtaking series featuring tortured MI5 operative Matt Logan, following on from Capture or Kill.

A second great chapter in the Logan ‘Blind Ey” story

Keeps you riveted. Doubtless there is more to come. Lots of great detail to colour the characters. And read very well to distinguish the characters. Thoroughly enjoyable. The author’s background helps him create authenticity. If you haven’t listened to his own autobiography it is well worth doing so.

Tom Marcus became my favourite author overnight with his non-fiction books. The Sherlock Holmes level of observation operatives have combined with the logistical brilliance of MI5 was insightful and fascinating. Unfortunately these fiction books do not follow the same scripting format - Marcus’ military style ‘no-nonsense’ writing, adrenaline rush of “STEAL BADGE” car chases, surveillance technology and organisation of surveillance operations - has all been lost. I miss Marcus’ original blunt and direct writing style. Maybe the emotional format now appeals to the masses. The plot feels dated, involving brainwashing and a damsel in distress. I would highly recommend the authors non-fiction books for a eye-opening, more grounded read.

Errr...

...what went wrong this time? Too many 'dreaming' scenes, a lot of action but not much story. I wont be getting the 3rd book.

An enjoyable listen, but not outstanding

And at the end you're left with a cliffhanger from a story in parallel with the main one here... but I'm not inclined to listen on.

Awesome

A little confusing at times as the main character goes in and out of reality, but a great story nonetheless 👍🏻

Another excellent book,

Stumbled across Tom Marcus a year or two ago, another excellent addition to his portfolio, it has a bit less than previous book into operational tactics but this is no problem as you are on the journey with Logan, can’t wait to see what Tom Marcus comes out with next
