Summary
MI5 officer David White was always a good father, so when his daughters want to go to a music festival in Israel, he agrees to take them. But his daughters are killed in the Hamas massacre that left 1,400 innocent civilians dead. White is taken hostage down in the tunnels under Gaza and Dan 'Spider' Shepherd and a crack SAS team are sent in to rescue him. Back in London, White is a changed man. He wants revenge for what happened to his family and wants to kill the men who planned and financed the Hamas attacks.
And as White embarks on a killing spree, Shepherd is the only man who can stop him.

Fast-paced, current and exciting
This was a current story, (as of reading). The back story was managed well.
The characters were well written, almost all provoked an emotion of some kind.
Facts were interesting and used to good effect.
The performance was great by Paul Thornley, as usual.
Thoroughly enjoyable.

Brilliant and topical
Great, topical story. Thought provoking. Another excellent plot but this time woven around recent terrible events in Israel.

As usual a good read
I’ve been a big fan of Stephen Leathers books for years now, and while this one is no different in imagery, tactics and well researched information, I did find it hard listening to a fictional novel that uses the Hamas attack on Isreal as its basis. I’m not sure if I found it in bad taste or just too early after the atrocities.
The story itself was intriguing and well put together, and to be fair I get the revenge motive as I’m sure a lot of people caught up in it would be thinking what if I could do something like that!
The narrator is outstanding as always, and really brings the book to life.

Another Outstanding Book!
This bang up to date story has you hooked from the off! Stephen Leather has nailed this type of book he gets better and better! This story is so tied to recent real life events it could almost be non fiction! The amount of research that has gone into this is astounding! Another excellent performance by Paul Thornley. His delivery really brings Spider Shepherd to life! Throw is a must read type of book!

Excellent!
I do like Stephen Leather's books, this one is one of the best. The ending could have been a bit better, but the suspense all the way through and the way the book developed was brilliant.
