Summary

 The fight against terrorism never ends, and Dan "Spider" Shepherd is in the front line of Britain's defence against the extremists.

When an ISIS bombmaker arrives at Heathrow Airport asking for asylum in exchange for revealing details of his paymasters, Shepherd is given the case. The bombmaker specialises in drone strikes, and homegrown jihadists that he has trained are already back in the UK, planning their attacks. But before he'll agree to talk, the terrorist insists that his wife and son are rescued from a refugee camp in Turkey. Shepherd is tasked with bringing the family back to London, but he soon discovers that dark forces are out to stop him. And if he fails, hundreds will die.

Packed with intricate detail on the intelligence services and written with Leather's familiar gusto, it hurtles off the page, grabbing the reader by the throat

Paul Thornley is an excellent narrator. I enjoy the Spider stories and how Paul accents characters in a consistent, believable and meaningful way. But on this recording, between each line, Paul swallows saliva, which can be heard very clearly and after a while becomes extremely annoying. So much so, I've had to give up listening. I would imagine this is down to the engineer and the mic set-up. A real shame on this particular recording.

Swallowing between lines becomes annoying
