Product Description
Sport Newspapers
...classic actioner with a chunky plot...moves at a breathless-jog pace. You'd pay to watch the film they'll surely make.

One of the best of its kind...lots of interesting detail in this non-stop action plot. Highly recommended.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Double Cross is simply one of the most exciting and credible thrillers you will ever read. From the very first page, I found this book impossible to put down and had to devour it in a couple of days - fortunately on the beach. Having read all Clive Cussler and Wilbur Smith as well as a lot of the newer writers, this is amongst the very best out there - a great debut from Patrick Woodrow and I look forward to the next installment of Ed Strachan's adventures!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book was found amongst the shelves of Boyes of all places and I wondered if it would be value for money. It starts at a fast pace and keeps you going throughout. It is a well thought out book with some clever twists and turns. My only negative comment is that the title forewarns you a little and it has an air of predictability about it.
Nonetheless I thoroughly enjoyed it and had it read in a couple of days, it merits my positive comments as it meets what I look for in a armchair book. As Patrick's first novel I feel he has a talent that he should follow.
As a diving instructor I was conscious of the technical facts of sub aqua diving and found them close enough to be right.
I look forward to future novels of this type in anticipation.

I picked up a copy of Double Cross at the airport a few days ago (it is not on general release yet) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Woodrow's style is punchy, sharp and witty - the book is a joy to read. With 77 chapters over 400 pages it is written to allow you to put it down and come back later. But the gripping plot (the end is truly spectacular) means that the book is unputdownable.
This has to be the best thriller of the year. I can't wait for Woodrow to write a sequel!

If only I could give this less than one star...
Um, what the hell was this? Are we all reading different books here? 1) The plot is convoluted - yet too simplistic. 2) The characters are overdeveloped yet repugnant. Read more

Time flies by
On a recent flight to the US, I picked this up to kill a few minutes before the film started. Several hours later I put it down, finishing it just as my plane touched down, with... Read more

Perfect Summer Book
Bought this book on spec and it was great.
Perfect for reading whilst by the pool, kind of cross between James Bond and Wilbur Smith.

Literary pringles - Once you pop you just can't stop
'Double Cross' got my pulse racing. Gripping story, brilliantly drawn characters and some funny and wonderfully observed lines. I miss Ed Strachan like an old friend.

A five star is born!
Highly recommended for prisoners of airline seats, sick-beds and Her Majesty. Not recommended for busy readers who cannot afford the time to guzzle 400 pages at one sitting. Read more
