Catches you in its snare straight away does this one, and has no intention of letting you go.
The story is staggeringly agile in typical Tom Wilde style. Deciphering who the hell has his back, especially when he turns it for a moment to do the right thing, is quite a feat.
To say the diplomatic operation he’s stumbled into is a matter of life or death would be the understatement of understatements – this must be the valiant Professor’s most heartrendingly brutal to date.
Depicting the harrowing nature of real-life into fiction is always challenging. But here the author shows us indelible inhumanity through fresh eyes, and it is unrelentingly authentic. To communicate this perspective so affectively in the shadow of such graveness is a testament to their immense skill.
With its terrific pace and heroically damned fine cast this book is first-class to its core. You never truly know who’s placed their trust in a friend or foe until it’s too late to reconsider other options.
And you don’t need to have read any of this series to be able follow this one right from the off, although I would highly recommend them all :)
