Summary

Not all terrorists are driven by religion or politics. 

Dan "Spider" Shepherd and his SAS team are on the trail of a terrorist whose motives are much more personal. Sabit Kusen wants revenge and doesn’t care how many innocents he kills along the way. Shepherd and his team hunt their quarry around the world - from Athens to Paris to Zurich to Singapore and on to Sydney - but the elusive Kusen is always one step ahead of them. 

Can Shepherd catch Sabit Kusen before he carries out his most audacious attack? And does he have what it takes to pull the trigger to end the fanatic’s reign of terror?

Another winner

A well written story as you would expect from Stephen Leather which is well performed by Paul Thornley whose characters are believable.

Conicidentally

From my first Stephen Leather read of Black ops, to the sheer joy of realising that was no13 in the Spider Shepherd series and there was lots of catching up to do. His first Spider book Hard landing was mind-blowingly good, and totally gripping. I read all the series and the SAS early days stories too.

This was still entertaining and I love Spider Shepherds character, but it wasn't nail-biting for me. the succession of coincidental lucky events hopping all around the globe. On par with James bond escapades, but just not up to the usual well thought out and gripping stories. Maybe it wasn't long enough tom develop elements in the story as it seemed a tad short.

I admire dealing with the career scheming 'Rupert' , the puppet Tony Blair and his two-faced personality, and too the Political human cogs, in fact I thought Stephen Leather wanted to really highlight the bullshit that many armed forces men and the SAS have to deal with, while trying their level best and placing their lives on the line. Quite like many politicians and all this Brexit positioning and bullshit. Spider Shepherd has always cared and tried to do the right thing, and it seems like Stephen Leather wanted to do the same. I'm about to start the Nightingale series by Stephen Leather and can't wait!

Having said that, Spider shepherd books are my absolute favourite series by far, and I would thoroughly recommend to any thriller readers. This was just a notch of it's premier predecessors.


Oh yes, lol...…...too many gaps in the narration which I'm guessing was down to editing?

I enjoyed it

Although there are a lot of negative reviews. I really enjoyed this book. I think it might have a bit too short.

Moving targets

This was my first listen of Shepherd’s time in the SAS, after thoroughly enjoying his days as a ‘have a go hero’ in Leather’s novels I was not disappointed to find great excitement in his days with the regimental elite. This was compelling and exciting, I’ve come to expect nothing less from Dan and Stephen leather. Excellent audiobook.

Not anywhere near as good as usual

I felt a bit cheated,Why? Well I thought this was going to be a good Spider Sheppard yarn. Well he was in it because they kept saying his name but not the Spider Sheppard we have been used to. Maybe I haven't listened to them in order, but there was no Dog nor Scout and he was just a bit boring and hum drum to be honest. Stero typical army "toffs" taking all the stick, and the credit for Spider and his pals work. Spider treating anyone in authority with utter contempt... because he know best.. and who'dve thunk? Duh you was right all the time Spider aren't we stoopid?
I should have taken notice from previous comments, lets face it we are all different. This time they were right.
Paul Thornley made it bearable... Brilliant narration of a so-so book

Engaging from the start

Great to go back in time with Spider and listen to one of the older books. Fantastic and engaging as always

It was a decent read but not nail biting

I thought the book was good in the sense that it was slow paced and maybe even boring at times, but so is life in the SAS sometimes. It's not all exciting missions and what not.

It takes you on an international trip that is very far fetched but you can enjoy the different details about the places.
But rather than him putting so much time in the research of the places, I would have rather had stronger character development and relationships and more intriguing story.

Moving Targets review

Great read and story. Again Paul Thornley does the business. The boys experience in dealing with certain situations shines through.
