Mark Cole is a deniable operative for the US government, a patriot who is always willing to give his life for his country. Living in the Caymans with his wife and two children, he is no longer fully active, but due to his unique abilities he is called upon to perform a difficult assassination. The target is the Director of the CIA’s National Clandestine Service; but after the mission, Cole becomes a target himself. And as the forces against him mount up relentlessly, he realises that greed and hunger for power at the highest levels means that he can trust nobody. Cole discovers that not only are thousands of lives at risk, but his own wife and children are threatened. Pushed into deciding whether to protect global security or to save his family, Cole vows that he will stop at nothing to do both – whatever the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Shakespeare, but great, great over the top super warrior stuff
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2014

While I agree with others that the hero has more lives than a cat and more skills than Jet and all of MP-5 combined (many readers here will get the references), this is a fast paced, plot-driven page turner. The bad guys are suitably bad, the good ones suitably good, evil loses, good triumphs but at a horrendous cost, there is betrayal, and the characters, while not deep, serve their purposes. It is not terribly original, but then this is a genre that is so overpopulated that is not a real criticism. I enjoyed it, I wanted more, and I hope more follow. And heck, the price can't be beat for a few hours of great fun. At least in my humble opinion. Editing was no worse than normal for ebooks, better than many I have read which cost more.

A fun read for the most part. It is "James Bondish" in the sense that Cole is almost superhuman in getting himself out of impossible situations. My two quibbles involve the murder of innocent women and children (I'm sorry, I just can't give 5 stars to a book having that in it) and errors in the titles of top US Government officials (there is no "Secretary of State" for Homeland Security, for example, just "Secretary of Homeland Security"). The editors and proofreaders should have caught those, even if they're UK based. Lest my English cousins get upset with me, I feel the same way when American authors don't get UK governmental titles correct. In any case, I plan on reading, and enjoying, the other entries in this series.

Mark Cole was as resourceful as ever in the many situations in which he was stuck. It was truly amazing how he managed to survive all the traps that were set for him.

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2014

A pretty good story, but it appears the author got too close to deadline, and rushed to finish. The spelling and punctuation is terrible. It looks as though the manuscript was never proof read. I don't know if that is the authors, or the publishers fault. I would have liked to see another chapter to finish the story, and not leave the readers hanging. I would like to see another book with this same main character getting justice on the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost nonstop action from a super hero
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2014

A super hero is the way Mark Cole is portrayed. The character is well developed as the protagonist as is the evil villain. The action is almost non stop which is what I like in a good action novel. The combat is varied and in the end it comes down to the most basic of weapons which we used many thousands of years ago to get the job done. The C-130 scene stretches the imagination but the ultra HALO jump was actually done successfully from a balloon on the edge of space a couple of years ago. The ending was not one I like but it certainly leaves room for the followup books to come. And yes the author is British but the English is very readable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Explosive special ops thriller
Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014

Well written thriller that shows a eye for intrigue, government operations and what can happen when ethics and reason are subverted by the desire of one man to pervert the intelligence system for his own goals. Fast paced, with unexpected twists and turns, it gives a glimpse into the life of a government operative who is pulled into a scheme which has the ultimate goal of destabilizing the free world and resulting in billion dollar increases in the pockets of the schemes. one man stands alone and does what he was trained to do and the result is a very intriguing read.

I've read this story before but from the British aspect. This one from the American side of the story. This was my favorite. With all the good and the bad of the stories they are all great reads. Thanks JT!

This was a very good action packed read and I did enjoy it. If you think that this type of possibility would never happen inside our borders think again. There was a couple of things that were in question one really stuck in my mind and that was the magnets that were on the airplane and I will leave you to discover what I mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant

This is a top notch adventure thriller that takes you on an exhausting and exhilarating journey through various continents. Mark Cole, who works for a special ops division within the US government is a super hero way beyond the likes of Jack Reacher and is effectively a one man army who can kill with virtually the flick of his fingers. Rollercoaster of a ride that is a real page turner as Cole endeavours to secure the world's safety as well as his own family.
Non stop action that continually fills you with nervousness and foreboding about the next problem or danger that Cole or his family may encounter.
Have read many similar books but this is up there with the best.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably & ineptly different
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2014

I have to say that considering the author is an ex-British Army officer I was expecting something better researched and written. Why spoil a reasonably unbelievable plot by utilising that horrible American genre of chapters lasting two or three paragraphs long - irritating to say the least. Follow that by a housewife with two kids using limpet mines and escaping from killer teams across two continents, all this whilst hubby breaks the Felix Baumgartner parachute height record from a hypersonic Aurora. Then to cap it all our hero uses magnetic handcuffs to climb the outside of a Herc cruising at 330+ MPH - manufactured from the least metallic of the elements - aluminium and then survives a massive explosion to kill the baddy using an obscure ninja kill method. How I survived to read the whole book I do not know, but I think this is one author I will consign to the sin bin
