Terror Cops is a white-knuckle ride into the battle against extremism; the story gives unprecedented insight into what it's like to fight terrorism in Britain today. In his two-decades-long career with the Metropolitan Police, Detective Sergeant Harry Keeble has hunted child murderers and child abusers, drug dealers and hit men.

And then, in response to the call to arms in the wake of the July 2005 London bombings, he transferred from Hackney's Child Protection Team to S-Squad, an elite counter terrorism unit. From day one he was thrown into the front line of a number of heart-stopping operations that involved deadly armed hunts for suicide bombers and bomb factories. As Harry won respect for his bravery and commitment, he was asked to lead increasingly complex and sensitive missions. Terror Cops covers, among other subjects, the Haymarket bomb, the Glasgow airport attacks, the liquid bomb plot, how terrorist cells are created, the use of terrorist training camps in the UK, and working in tandem with the Muslim community.

The book describes some recent terrorist convictions in the UK, the life of an anti-terrorist officer and background on the global intelligence operation. There are a few rather clunky chapters where the author has chosen to make points via a conversation. I was talking to so and so and said “These damn fundamentalists”, so and so said “They are not fundamentalist, a fundamentalist is …” but these didn't bother me too much.

Overall I enjoyed the book. It is certainly not a work of literature but I felt that the writing style worked well given the subject matter and that the narrator did a great job. I proved a real eye opener for me as much of what is covered doesn't make the news headlines and I have already recommended it to others.

Good listen for an intro to anti-terror policing

I can't really make up my mind about this audiobook. The content is very interesting and that's the good stuff. I learned a fair bit about how our anti-terror security forces go about their work. That said, the writing style isn't very accomplished - a point accentuated by the narration. I also got a bit irritated by some of the ham-fisted attempts to weave in points throughout the story which rather spoiled it for me. I ended up feeling informed but not really entertained.

Interesting Stuff

I felt this nook was written for the sake of writing. Having read Keeble's previous accounts of working on the child protection team and in the drug squad, I could see then he was wandering into the realms of portrayal himself as a self styled hero. I've never heard of a law enforcement officer refer to 'saving' people or 'rescuing' victims, so this just felt a little synthetic and a little too self assuring for my liking. The fact is Keeble does what many do day in and day out, and I'm disappointed he didn't speak in more broader terms of their accomplishments, instead he made it a little too much about himself.
