Summary
From the refugee camps of Greece to the mountains of Macedonia, a 13-year-old boy is making his way to Germany and safety. Codenamed 'Firefly', he holds vital intelligence: unparalleled insight into a vicious ISIS terror cell and details of their plans. But the terrorists are hot on his trail, determined he won't live to pass on the information.
When MI6 become aware of Firefly and what he knows, the race is on to find him. Luc Samson, ex-MI6 agent and now private eye, finds himself recruited to the cause. Fluent in Arabic thanks to his Lebanese heritage, Samson's job is to find Firefly, win his trust and get him to safety.
A devastatingly timely thriller following the refugee trail from Syria to Europe, Firefly is a sophisticated, breathtaking race against time from the acclaimed and award-winning author of Brandenburg and The Dying Light.

"British espionage fiction is the best in the world, and Porter is part of the reason why." (Lee Child)

Excellent, well paced novel
Wonderful, timely novel with a charismatic lead character. You will invest in and root for the good guys. Great narration too.

Riveting
Unusual. Great base story line, it does stretch cedability at times but it is fiction! However, it does give a small insight into the lives of refugees fleeing their homelands whilst telling an exciting tale. And the narration is superb, hard to believe it is just once person telling the story. Highly recommend.

Ahhaha A wonderfully gripping read
I found myself completely lost in this audiobook. It seemed to me to be an excellent thriller. 12hrs 44mins of rather tense but a thrilling journey. I am hoping for a sequel.

Ok story made over sentimental by Reader
I got through this book - just - but I’ve a real problem with Addis’ narration. I’ve deleted other books that he narrated because he has a habit of making all his female character sound overly feminine and coy: also, whenever he read in the first person (Sampson is this case) he uses a raspy chesty gravelly voice that is quite ridiculous and unnatural. He did it exactly the same in another book I listened too and I hated it then too.
To give credit tho, his Arabic and European Accents are very good but his women and central characters are awful.

Unusual subject matter
Loved it, frustrating at times, enjoyed the subject matter, the world of illegal migration through modern day Europe.

Decent story compromised by narration
Enjoyed the story but had to work hard to get past the narration which was very stylised and (in my view) overly-filled with affectations

Thank goodness for the nuclear powered cellphones
Not much happens in this story and there is certainly no thill to add to the...er. The ability to keep a phone charged whilst on the road and unerring signal drove me mad and seemed a lazy device.

Firefly
Excellent story, beautifully read. Good to read a story where the hero was believable and not flying through the air, killing all assailants

Had me on the edge of my seat!
Extremely well performed and great storyline. Believable characters, seemed very well researched on the plight of immigrants.
Glad I’ve discovered Henry Porter and Matt Addis!
