About this listen

MI6 plan to assassinate the leading maker of IEDs - roadside bombs- as he leaves his house in Iran. But first, they need to know when he is leaving. So it is that Danny 'Badger' Baxter finds himself in Iran, lumbered with a partner he loathes, lying next to a mosquito-infested marsh, observing the house. And knowing that if they are caught, Her Majesty's Government will deny all knowledge of them.

This kept me hooked throughout. The conflict between the two main protagonists was so well written.

Excellent!

I’m not normally one for police-based novels as procedurally they usually get it wrong. This was well-researched with a credible story, a slick narrator and a solid ending. I speak with authority, having managed CROPS officers in my ‘police’ career. Most enjoyable.

Great read!

Be patient with this book-it is a slow burner but well worth it. The second half is almost unbearably tense. So much so that I found myself chewing my lip with anxiety as I listened.As with all the Gerald Seymour books I've listened to, his characters are so well-rounded that it's impossible not to empathise with them all - even a bomb-maker, for goodness sake. His research and understanding of his subject is as always, impeccable. I highly recommend this, especially for anyone who's ever wondered about what it's really like to be a covert operative.

Slow burner but leads to almost unbearable tension

This was an unusual plot but the layout of the characters and storyline are becoming a little bit too like a standard formula for GS and lack the originality of his earlier works, time for a change of direction for GS I think. Nevertheless, it is a good listen to those unfamiliar with GS's books and worthwhile for that, its just I've either read or listened to all his previous books and they're becoming a bit tired.

Plot too similar to his other books
