Well, this was my major holiday read this year in Greece and it didn't disapoint. It was so good I had to force myself away from it on the plane journey there so I didn't finish my first book before arrival! If you've never heard of or read on of Chris Ryan's books before you're missing out. Chris Ryan was an SAS soldier, most famous for being one of the soldiers to escape Iraq during operation Desert Storm as part of the doomed Bravo Two Zero patrol. He's also written several books including his account of the patrol (The One That Got Away), and several action/thrillers. Chris Ryan writes superbly and the storyline in his latest novel is masterfully crafted.

The main character in the tale, Neil Slater has left the SAS and is looking for work. Having recently lost his job for killing terrorists who were trying to abduct a pupil at a school while he working as a PE teacher he looks for Bodyguarding work but soon gets pulled into much more dangerous work for MI6. The story thickens and thickens until the reader cannot believe the monstrous idea presented before him. A superbly crafted thriller with stacks or action and suspense. A worthy holiday read ;)
