About this listen

MI5 officer David White was always a good father, so when his daughters want to go to a music festival in Israel, he agrees to take them. But his daughters are killed in the Hamas massacre that left 1,400 innocent civilians dead. White is taken hostage down in the tunnels under Gaza and Dan 'Spider' Shepherd and a crack SAS team are sent in to rescue him. Back in London, White is a changed man. He wants revenge for what happened to his family and wants to kill the men who planned and financed the Hamas attacks.

And as White embarks on a killing spree, Shepherd is the only man who can stop him.

It’s a pretty good listen dealing with one of the major problems of our time, the Middle East and the question of Palestine and the state of Israel. The chapters that set the scene are nothing short of horrific and very well performed by Paul T. The sub plot regarding the Albanian gangsters was a bit on the thin side and could have done with some more details as it was left somewhat hanging. Not the best in the series but worth a listen.
