About this listen

A pulse-racing terrorist thriller - perfect for fans of I Am Pilgrim, Bourne, 24 and Homeland.

Marc Dane is an MI6 field agent at home behind a computer screen, one step away from the action. But when a brutal attack on his team leaves Marc as the only survivor - and with the shocking knowledge that there are traitors inside MI6 - he's forced into the front line.

However, the evidence seems to point towards Marc as the perpetrator of the attack. Accused of betraying his country, he must race against time to clear his name.

With nowhere to turn to for help and no one left to trust, Marc is forced to rely on the elusive Rubicon group and their operative Lucy Keyes. Ex US Army, Lucy also knows what it's like to be an outsider, and she's got the skills that Marc is sorely lacking.

A terrorist attack is coming, one bigger and more deadly than has ever been seen before. With the eyes of the security establishment elsewhere, only Lucy and Marc can stop the attack before it's too late.

Critic reviews

"An intelligent, likable and, above all, believable hero is faced with a frighteningly credible threat in a thriller that hits the tarmac running and doesn't stop accelerating until its terrifying conclusion." (Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Sunday Times best-selling PC Peter Grant novels)

Loved it

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book to people who are interested in details about weapons and other technical information. To my mind, there was too much of this and it felt like padding.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was OK and would have been better without the padding of sex scenes and technical details.

Did Colin Mace do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

More or less. Some scenes/chapters seemed to blend into each other making it difficult to figure out what was going on.

Did Nomad inspire you to do anything?

Just about managed to finish the book.

Any additional comments?

Won't look for more from this author. Not really my cup of tea.

A book for techies perhaps?

A very good read, I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys spy thrillers. Very well read and was kept enthralled. The ending was predictable but good none the less.

A great listen if a little predictable
