Summary

After single-handedly intervening in a deadly terrorist attack in Mali, SAS Warrant Officer Jamie 'Geordie' Carter is denounced as a lone wolf by jealous superiors.

Now a Regiment outcast, Carter is given a second chance with a deniable mission: locate SAS hero-gone-rogue David Vann.

Vann had been sent into Afghanistan to train local rebels to fight the Taliban. But he's since gone silent, and expected attacks on key targets have not happened.

Tracking Vann through Afghanistan and Tajikistan, Carter not only discovers the rogue soldier's involvement in a conspiracy that stretches far beyond the Middle East—but an imminent attack that will have deadly consequences the world over....

Good, but not great

I did struggle and kept losing interest in this one, I'm a lover of Chris Ryan books but this one fell short.
the Geordie character came across weak, with not much between his ears.

Many twist’s and turns.

Chris Ryan does it again. A story full of twist’s and turns. Totally plausible as it seems anything can happen these days.
Top marks to the narrator Simon Darwenn. Vann has a good old Ulster prod belfast accent, usually voices are more slanted towards southern Irish, so a refreshing change and spot on.
Looking forward to see where the story goes from here.

Disappointing

I struggled to finish it. The story appeared far fetched, tested me listening to it, and, I'm never going to say how much I like the Geordie accent again !

Once you hit play, you won’t hit stop.

I felt like I was sat on Carters shoulder the whole way through the story. Fantastic!!
