This book is an absolute hoot: I haven't laughed so much for ages.
And yes, it is a serious spy story, complex and convoluted, and involving the employees of M.I.7. John Mordred is erudite, witty and has a very devious mind and hence an asset to Ruby Parker, head of the red department. She wasn't able to attend Annabelle's wedding - she was at a funeral - but John was there, as was colleague Alec. It was, to say the least, memorable. But immediately after, all three were recalled to the department: breaking news was an outbreak of unexpected demonstrations all taking place worldwide in tax havens. And intelligence had not seen them coming.

Another well written, fascinating spy story (not really James Bond, though, much more John is Carre), with excellent characterisation and humorous dialogue and interactions. Narration by Jack Co!lard is also very good, increasing personality, and wit, with his differentiated voicings, and English well articulated following of the text. It is a superb performance, befitting five stars were it not for the poor editing and the numerous occasions of restarts of phrases not omitted from the final recording. This does not distract much from the story but should have been removed for better fluency.

This is book four of an intelligent and enjoyable series but is completely stand alone. And gloriously funny. My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of World War O, via Audiobook Boom. This is a book to hold the reader's attention, travel to exotic !ocations, stimulate immagination, raise questions, peek behind the powers of government and be a most enjoyable read. No fan of the spy genre should miss it
