Too quick and the book starts to read jumpily and confusion arises. But if an author does it right, if he is able to hold the interest of the general reader while telling an interesting story, he has walked the tightrope ... Leather manages this feat ...

The action is relentless until the breathtaking conclusion.' -- West Australian Praise for Stephen Leather's novels -- : 'This is an aggressively topical novel but a genuinely thrilling one, too.' -- Daily Telegraph 'As tough as British thrillers get ... gripping' -- Irish Independent 'A brilliant read that stands out of the morass of so-so military thrillers around nowadays.' -- News of the World 'In brisk newsman's style her explores compex contemporary issues while keeping the action fast and bloody.' -- Economist
