About this listen
"Sam knew that this was what she had trained for - thousands of rounds of live training ammunition, SAS and DHU instructors, and countless repetitions of likely hostile encounters known as "situation awareness training" - just clicked in."
A Shadowing of Angels unfolds in the murky and dangerous world of covert intelligence collection and the "Circuit" - the name given to London-based private military companies. Set in the contemporary times, this adrenaline-filled novel highlights the Western world’s struggle against the Islamic State, both in the West and in Iraq.
Samantha Holloway, a highly trained and effective Intelligence Corps and Special Forces captain, suffers a serious setback when an agent handling operation in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, goes drastically wrong, with life- and career-changing implications for Sam.
People died, and Sam paid. She, therefore, finds herself a team leader on a Circuit mission. An American hostage has been snatched by ISIS, and she must now lead her team of military contractors in a daring rescue attempt that will push her abilities to the limit.
In their multi-continental search, spanning from London through to Iraqi Kurdistan, her team finally reaches into the "heart of darkness" - the Iraqi town of Mosul and the areas of Iraq currently controlled by Daesh.
A Shadowing of Angels is written as a tribute to, and in recognition of, the debt owed to both Britain’s Special Forces and Security Services, who continue to patrol the evil shadows cast by terrorism to help keep Britain safe. It will appeal to those with an interest in military fiction.

The author writes with the relaxed authenticity of someone who really has been there and done it, with just a few allowances made to accommodate the needs of non-military readers. In particular, he has taken particular trouble - utterly convincingly - to explore the motivations and characters of not just the “good guys”, but also their adversaries.
The narrator has done a great job in really bringing the story to life with mostly consistent regional accents, tones of voice and sound effects. A tiny gripe: Taff, ostensibly from south Wales, occasionally sounds as if he’s from the north east of England.
In summary (and writing this review with knowledge of the private security “Circuit”), I can recommend this audiobook highly to general and specialist listeners alike, hoping that it will be followed by a number of sequels, and filmed for the big screen.
A ripping yarn
