I have read all of Silvester’s books and I recommend them.
What Silvester does so well is create what is very likely the true raw spy world, the underworld, redolent of the sixties cold war stories.
There is nothing James Bond about it. It is the ‘spy who came in from the cold’ with all of the grit, seediness, fear and violence of those days, and especially vulnerability, but in a modern political setting; Brexit and its fallout – essentially, hard right against, well, not so much the left, as a caring people, caught up in the hype and those ready to capitalise on dystopia.
Regardless of your view on politics this is a wonderfully engaging story with so many twists and turns and unexpected revelations it had me reeling. I never saw what was coming (regularly and throughout) and, on so many fronts. Who is right or wrong as much as East against West, it is all seemingly irrelevant and like all dark and shady dealings, it is about survival and discovering, just what is right and wrong, and about those innocently caught up in the Machiavellian dealings – the politics of the day a mere vehicle for sinister Statecraft and malignant corporate avarice.
Buckle up for a rough and ready ride, in amongst the muck and the grime, with heroes and antiheroes who, to all intents, are just like you and me, ordinary, but not. Characters with no conscience and those who with principles that have to be set aside, for the greater good? Maybe… but will we ever know.
A great standalone book, but even better is read from book 1 to this, book 4.
5 stars.
