Product Description

Product Description

London. July 2012. The British capital prepares for the greatest show in its history - the Olympic Games.

Alex Marden and Jack Rogan, operatives for Unit Five, NATO’s Black Ops specialists, have been working undercover to secure the Games against a lethal terror group plotting to destroy the spectacle.

Jack uncovers a conspiracy – a sleeper insider the security team who is working with the terrorists to release a deadly nerve gas inside the Stadium itself.

But no one in the security services will listen to him.

With hours to go before the Olympics opens, Jack and Alex go rogue – working solo to prevent an attack that would kill the 80,000 spectators as well as the world leaders gathered in the Stadium for the Opening Ceremony.

Soon their own lives are on the line in a deadly race against time - in which no one can be trusted.

Black Ops: Olympics is the third in Matt Lynn’s brilliant series of action-adventure thrillers ripped straight from the headlines.

His books have been widely praised.

'I was anticipating a good time and I wasn't disappointed. A cracking action thriller. You can taste the dust and smell the blood'

(Daily Express )

'Matt Lynn's novel is up there with the finest that Andy McNab or Chris Ryan have ever penned'

(News of the World )

'Brilliant, realistic and riveting; blistering front-line action'

(Chris Ryan )

"If you're a fan of modern military thrillers you're going to have fun with anything Matt Lynn writes..."

(The Northern Echo)

"For teenage boys or simply for those men who don't want to grow up, Shadow Force is a cracking read. Intellectually stimulating it ain't; fantastic fun it most certainly is."

(ABC Brisbane)

'This is a fast-paced and well-told tale of derring-do that guarantees entertainment."

(City AM)

Black Ops: Olympics is a thrilling, contemporary adventure story, perfect for fans of Lee Child, Tom Clancy and Andy McNab.

By E. Heckingbottom TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Anothr book, like Private Olympics, that works on the speculation that some major disaster will occur at the London Olympics. One only has to hope that the security forces are reading these as well and are taking note of the ideas that these authors are coming up with, ensuring that they can't really be carried out!

In places. the plot seems a little hasty; however, it is nonetheless intriguing and gripping. The idea that a member of the carefully vetted and closely monitored top security group could be a terrorist, however, just makes me more convinced that I don't want to be in the country whilst the Olympics are on this year!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiction based on a possible threat 13 May 2012
By Popps
Format:Kindle Edition
With the looming threat of terrorism on the Olympic games in London this year, Black Ops: Olympics is a very realistic portrayal of a prospective situation. The action-packed story follows Alex and Jack in uncovering the attack on the Olympic opening ceremony. With an interesting twist, Black Ops has a very well thought-out storyline that will keep you on your toes the whole way through. An excellent short thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast opaced action 15 Jun 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I loved this story very Chris Ryan or Andy Mcnab. A very relevant plot and quite scary if it actually happened, in some instances I found it almost a faction book and written by someone who has an in deapth understanding of the military and how they operate. Strong characters that you get to know well and plenty of fast past action that keeps you on your toes.
