Summary

Former SAS Sergeant Major John Carr is relaxing on a Spanish beach, when a man with dark eyes attracts his attention. Fixated on a group of young Britons, the man doesn’t notice Carr and soon moves on.

Within the hour, the Costa del Sol will be plunged into one of the most audacious and horrifying terrorist attacks Europe has ever seen.

In a co-ordinated strike, armed men storm both the beach and a cruise ship anchored further up the coast. But the terrorists - hiding personal greed under the veil of religious extremism - have an even bolder plan.

Constrained by the sensitive political situation, MI6 and the Prime Minister must confront the possibility of leading a secret operation against a brutal enemy. And then find the right man to head it....

Enter John Carr.

Another great character to follow.

If you’re a fan of Reacher,Victor the assasin Spider Shepherd and Ben Hope,to name a few,you will love John Car.
Tough and gritty with a cold mind and warm heart.
Brilliantly written with twists and turns in the plot.
Can’t recommend this enough.

Brilliant!!! When will John Carr be back?!

I enjoyed John Carr’s first outing, altho it didn’t stand out hugely, but I had in mind that I’d listen to The Angry Sea at some point. Why did I wait so long?! This knocks spots of the first book - It’s really superb! The narration is excellent (with the exception of Scouse : l ) and the story brilliantly detailed, paced and thrilling. Once I was about a third of the way in I was struggling to put it down! This book really is standout! The initial story threads take a little while to weave together, but bear with... It’s well worth it!

Mega !

Second book in the series and smashes it , Carr has got to be the best "anti-hero" out there in fiction ! the narrator is spot on and the story line moves at pace with authenticity. the author has left loads of scope for further books , can't wait for the third and surely the film ! great stuff

Dynamite

Gripping.
John Carr needs another novel! Cracking follow up to Once a Pilgrim.
Essentially a tale of a man who loves fighting & is incapable of letting a single soul take any liberty's with him.

Another Thiller of a Book

Excellent second novel,, brought to life by the splendid narration from Joshua, who brings every character to life.
