Summary

'The decisions Harry made within the next few seconds would stay with him for the rest of his life - or result in his immediate death. And he knew it.'

When a gang war threatens to rip the metropolis apart, 'London's top copper' finds himself under siege. Held accountable for the unstoppable wave of chaos that is turning the streets of his city red with blood, hounded by a media he cannot understand and continually thwarted by an establishment cover-up, H is in trouble. As the chaos in London reaches boiling point, can he bring the streets under control?

I really enjoyed this story. A little far fetched at times, but that’s what makes it fun (if that’s the right word). I liked all of the main characters. A really good listen and excellent narrator.

Excellent story!

Have you listened to any of Greg Wagland’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Some of the slang and the way the main characters spoke made me laugh. There were also some sad bits and an awful lot of suspenseful quick paced drama.

The story was unbelievable with policemen acting more like thugs. The narrator jumped from one chapter to the next without a pause for breath. This meant the story was difficult to follow.
I listened to the end but wish I hadn’t.
Ended with a ‘cliffhanger’. I will not bother reading the next book.

Very confusing narration and unbelievable story.

This is an interesting review, only because it's a tale of two halves. I listened to the whole thing, despite its being utterly ridiculous, because I was hoping it would lend itself to comedy in order to at least partly justify how completely ridiculous it all was. However, no comedy or comedic angle ever appeared. In itself, that made the whole book absolutely idiotic, and frankly a waste of time. We were expected to believe that a lone cop was capable of single-handedly taking out entire organised crime networks despite having been suspended from duty long after he ever would in real life, and never being arrested or followed up by any of his colleagues. He also appeared to be able to do things he could 30 years previously when he was in the military. Essentially, he was portrayed as being James Bond mixed with Jason Statham alongside Rocky and with more than a hint of Steven Seagal.

You get the idea. if you like a yarn, no matter how stupid, this might be for you. If, however, you understand that fiction is just that, but at least has to be rooted in reality, then put down this rubbish and move on to something else.

Very odd nonsense
