When a violent attack on his girlfriend tears Tom’s life apart, escape makes perfect sense. He takes a job with an oil company, providing therapy to staff cooped up in a camp in Southern Iraq. Nice pay packet, if you don’t mind being stuck in the desert surrounded by unexploded mines and cluster bombs.
On his arrival, an explosion outside the camp leaves four men dead. Something about it doesn’t make sense, and Tom starts to ask questions. His curiosity begins to get him into trouble - especially with the former soldiers who work there as security contractors. When the camp is attacked and Tom is shipped home, he continues his investigations. Working with a journalist pursuing a story about a cover-up, Tom looks into a notorious army barracks. But then the journalist falls beneath a tube train. Falls, or is pushed? With an unseen enemy closing in, will Tom’s search for the truth end in his death, too?
Set between London, Berlin and Iraq, this white-knuckle suspense thriller is perfect for fans of The Hurt Locker, American Sniper and Homeland.

Eleştirmen yorumları
"This will be one of my audiobooks of the year. An absolutely riveting listen, beautifully written and with a terrific main character. I hope we get more Tom Challis books. Bravo." (Caroline Green)
"Like the best thrillers, Red Desert is packed with action, intrigue and evocative locations; I could taste the desert's dust and heat. What's more, its hero has empathy, intelligence and compassion. The perfect escape from lockdown.” (Author, Sarah Hillary)
“This was my first ready of anything written by Paddy Magrane. Red Desert is a roller coaster, high-octane ride that drags you in from the first few words and won't let you go until you have finished. The protagonist, Tom is an enthralling character, thrust into an unfamiliar environment and the insight in psychoanalysis is fascinating. The action never lets up. Ever. It is relentless and a full on assault on the senses. What a read.” (Neil Lancaster, Author of Tom Novak Thrillers)
Good page turner.

I’ve read Paddy Magrane’s other two books so I was keen to read the new one.
I loved it! Completed it in two days, I lost myself completely in it Joe Jameson’s narration was brilliant, I could listen to his voice all day.
It’s left a hole so I’m going to have to try another audible.
My first audible

The story is full of suspense and intrigue, situated mainly in the Middle East, a difficult part of the world in this day and age and it left me guessing all the way through. I found it very believable when we hear so much about the oil industry and the troubles that it always seems to attract, either nationally or internationally or on a personal level.
The author is a craftsman with words and the dialogue between the various characters is colourful and authentic and so realistically portrays the events.
A very readable novel which I can highly recommend
Highly recommended

Fleeing tragedy at home, Tom takes a job as a psychotherapist on an Iraqi oil field. On his first day four men are killed by a roadside bomb, and he learns of other deaths, none of which have satisfactory explanations. Convinced there’s a link between them, and fobbed off by those in authority, Tom takes matters into his own hands. But people are watching Tom. People who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried.
Reminiscent of The Thirty-Nine Steps, Red Desert is a classic, edge-of-your-seat-thriller. Audible books like this make every car journey an adventure.
