Jamie Tulloch is a successful exec at a top tech company, a long way from the tough upbringing that drove him to rise so far and so quickly.

But he has a secret...since the age of 23, he's had a helping hand from the Legend Programme, a secret intelligence effort to prepare impenetrable backstories for undercover agents. Real people, living real lives, willing to hand over their identities for a few weeks in return for a helping hand with plum jobs, influence and access.

When his tap on the shoulder finally comes, it's swiftly followed by the thud of a body. Arriving at a French airport ready to hand over his identity, Jamie finds his primary contact dead, the agent who's supposed to step into his life AWOL and his options for escape non-existent.

Pitched into a deadly mission on hostile territory, Jamie must contend with a rogue Russian general, arms dealers, elite hackers, CIA tac-ops and the discovery of a brewing plan for war. Dangerously out of his depth, he must convince his sceptical mission handler he can do the job of a trained field agent while using his own life story as convincing cover.

Can Jamie play himself well enough to avoid being killed - and to avert a lethal global conflict?

Eleştirmen yorumları

Innocents have been caught up in espionage ever since The Thirty-Nine Steps. David Goodman's engrossing thriller offers an ingenious variation on the trope. Goodman combines traditional elements - the nods to Buchan, Fleming and le Carré - with the topicality of 2020s technology and the threat from Russia
A rip-roaring page-turning keep-you-up-all-night thriller (Nick Binge, author of ASCENSION)
Delving into the messy alliances of our post-Cold War world, A Reluctant Spy delivers a twisting, edge-of-your-seat tale of mercenaries, greed, corruption, and espionage set in sultry Zanzibar. Taut and suspenseful, it's as sharp as the salt and lime on a Tanzanian margarita. (I.S. Berry)
Ultra-modern espionage, globe-trotting action and high-octane fun - this is Spooks on steroids (Tim Glister)
Gleaming with freshness and verve, A Reluctant Spy is a pulse-pounding, twisting thrill-a-minute read that Slow Horses fans are going to absolutely love. There's a new spy king in town... (Adam Simcox)
Smart, riveting, and eerily prescient (Sunyi Dean, Sunday Times Bestselling author of The Book Eaters)
A brilliant high concept, fast-moving and impeccably told. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. (Antony Johnston)

All-too-relatable spy thriller that raised my heart rate and kept it hammering. (Amber A. Logan)
A Reluctant Spy is electrifying - a razor-sharp, warp-speed, tech-savvy spy thriller with a bang up-to-date geopolitical backdrop. Goodman will have you on the edge of your seat until the last page. (CHRIS MERRITT)
An excellent debut with terrific pace, David Goodman's 'A Reluctant Spy' will grip you to the end (JAMES SWALLOW)
A twisty storyline and convincing action scenes make this a very promising debut.
One of the most polished assured debuts I've read in recent years. A killer concept, artfully executed. A Reluctant Spy is a galloping globe-trotting runaway read that I guarantee will have you in its clutches till the very last page.
Wow. This book is worth the hype! A deliciously gripping thriller from a debut author. Punchy and tense, high stakes and characters to root for, I can see it on the big screen. Fantastic for spy/espionage/military fans or those that enjoy an unputdownable thriller. (CLAIRE WILSON)
A Reluctant Spy is a revelation: smart, gripping and laced with dark humour - a cutting-edge classic. (DAVID WRAGG)

Unputdownable

I loved this book. Attention to detail , clarity and chapters that swung from character to character , each ending making you torn between the outcome of that aspect of the plot, but desperate to know what’s happening to the rest of it. The geographical aspect to the plot added to the interest. For me, the quality of the narration was key to my enjoyment. Not only the voice of the narrator but the effort to change the tone to reflect different types of communication. Overall Difficult to put down and I’m hoping there’s another book in the series.

Great read

At first, the format seems a little strange but it ensures the book creates a good pace and maintains it. The story is good and very believable as are the characters. Overall, I truly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it.

Highly enjoyable and has a good pace

Page turning action thriller, strong characters. Chapters work well to split story into parallel story and character lines. Lots going on but more action related than intrigue. Well read audio book.
