Summary

Every operative knows the rules.

The mission comes first. You are a deniable asset. Betrayal is punished by death.

Alex Reeve was Operative 66. A former special-ops soldier and one of the UK's deadliest weapons, he was a member of the secretive SC9 - an elite security service with a remit to neutralise the country's most dangerous enemies.

Falsely accused of treason, Reeve was forced to hide in the shadows as the brutal assassins he once trained alongside sought to eliminate the 'rogue asset' at any cost. But tricked into revealing himself, Reeve is suddenly dragged into a lethal conspiracy involving the British state, shadowy Russian agents...and his own father.  

If there's one man who can survive...it is Operative 66.

From the internationally best-selling author of the Wilde and Chase series comes an explosive new thriller - the perfect pulse-racing listen for fans of Lee Child, Vince Flynn and Gregg Hurwitz.

Action packed is an understatement t

This reads like ( or sounds like - if you are listening to the audiobook) a Bourne movie on speed. If you like non-stop action of the ' disavowed black-ops-guy-evades-threats-from-multiple agencies- while-keeping -loved -one and self from-being-terminated-and at the same time exacting-revenge-on-brutal-father' variety....then this is definitely for you. The pace never let's up.
The overwhelming preponderance of action is the reason I have only awarded 4 stars. After a while it becomes unremarkable and requires much suspension of disbelief. That said I will definitely be reading the sequel as soon as it comes out!

Stretches it too much

Great storyline about I guess all countries are run by shadow government agencies… makes sense .. downside of the book is …the author kind of filled pages I guess for the publisher by stretching the LOOOOONG car chase

Good listen

Action packed really enjoyed the second book , only criticism is that Alex one numerous occasions has the opportunity to end a threat but not doing so creates more action that can be a bit long winded and I found my a bit tired of some fight scenes

Became boring

This book started really well, but the last 10 chapters were taken up with one long car chase or foot chase. It became single focuses and boring really quickly - shame though

Great, if exaggerated story ending

I loved both these books, but the second one feels like it’s been written as an action film script for James Bond type character. I found myself saying ’no way!’ A bit too often
