A great read. Tense, gripping and action-packed. It would make a great film! Looking forward to reading more from the author.

An excellent thriller that kept me on the edge.
Well written, fast paced and with a cast of interesting characters.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Edelweiss for this ARC, all opinions are mine

An excellent spy thriller written by someone who is an expert in his field. The excitement was palpable and nonstop, the characters well drawn and the tradecraft descriptions accurate and detailed.

Well written with a credible plot this is a first class thriller.

Highly recommended.

ISIS can’t stop him
M16 can’t find him
But he’s coming
Is how the blurb looks for this book, I must admit to thinking mmmmmm been there, read that but have to say was wrong and am glad didn’t give it the cold shoulder.
‘The Engineer’, the mastermind of terror is supposed to be gone forever, dead in Syria, imagine everyone’s horror when he is shown on video being broken out of a Syrian jail, everyone is back on full alert but what would happen if everyone had been fooled and the real threat was making his way to the UK?, planning the attacks of all attacks,known only as ‘The Stranger’ well Jude Lyons MI6 agent is tasked to find ‘ The Engineer’ and then ‘The Stranger’ and stop him before it’s too late, but unlike many book plots it doesn’t quite work out that way
Full of double crossers, blackmail, lies and dodgy characters this is a new take on this kind of story, new as the plot often doesn’t go as expected and new in the storytelling style, modern and chatty ( while at times still complex but understandable ) which I loved
My old workplace featured heavily in the ending and so I really could picture it all step by step and ended what has been a thrilling, scary, detailed, focused, tense and worryingly believable read
I look forward to more of Jude Lyons....ye I liked him!
