Fast-paced spy fantasy about the good old MI6 agent hung out to dry, the almost as good super villain, the code of honor among spies and how politicians don't get it -- fun read if you like that sort of thing. ( )

It is one reading experience to read any work of fiction on spycraft by an author who is or has utilized good researchers. It is an incredible reading experience to read the novel by Matthew Dunn who spent 5 years in the British Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, as a field operative. With his personal experiences of conducting ~70 successful missions and with significant experience of working with highly-specialized units of the British SAS and SBS as well as joint-operations with MI5, GCHQ, the CIA, and BND, there is an authenticity that is unmatched. This novel should top the list for Spy Thrillers and Espionage Novels! ( )

Will Cochrane is back and on another mission when something goes very wrong. As he flees from multiple government agencies and governments he races to find out the truth. Dunn writes in such a way that you want everybody to succeed, Will, his pursuers, his friends, and even the enemy, and not to say too much, they pretty much all do. It’s a great pulse pounding read that will leave you at the edge of your seat.

This is the fourth in the Will Cochrane spy series and as thrilling as the previous stories. Cochrane is part of a mission that fails and becomes wanted himself and he has to keep himself alive long enough to find out what the hell is going on.

The author, a former MI6 field officer, uses his experiences to produce a very fast paced exciting thriller. If you are looking for an exhilarating read and not concerned about realistic situations, this is one to do it. I do suggest reading the others in the series so you know who the characters are though. ( )
