Review

'This thriller hurtles through the pages like Jason Bourne charging through all three films at once...No punches pulled action.' --Peterborough Evening Telegraph on The Mephisto Threat.

'Skulduggery and corruption at the highest levels: scarily plausible.' --Quentin Jardine on The Last Exile

Product Description

Outnumbered. Outgunned. And running out of time.

Meet Paul Tallis – a spy for the 21st Century Fearing an undercover agent working in Chechnya has gone rogue, MI6 look to off-the-books spook Paul Tallis for help. Tallis is ready for the challenge – then he learns the missing operative is his old school friend, Graham Darke. With intelligence confirming a threat to assassinate the Russian prime minister, Tallis must infiltrate a rebel movement and reach Darke before Anglo-Russian relations are permanently destroyed. But confronted with the reality of the Chechen struggle, Tallis faces an impossible moral choice: bring in Darke and prevent an international crisis, or protect a man fighting for the forgotten innocents.

For fans of ROBERT LUDLUM, GERALD SEYMOUR and JOHN LE CARRÉ, this is a must read.

The Best So Far!!! 4 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
Ignoring the unenlightened review above by a so-called 'avid reader' (perhaps more of an 'avid gadfly') EV Seymour's 'Land Of Ghosts' is simply a joy to read.By far the best in the series, it successfully takes the resilient Tallis to the hostile climes of Chechnya: a land in blight following Perestroika and thus a brilliant and brutal locale for Tallis to be unleashed as it were.
'Land Of Ghosts' harks back to the literary legends of John Le Carre, Robert Ludlum and Gerald Seymour, painting a visceral portrait of a world once more on the brink of Cold War. It is a story bound in intrigue, betrayal, love and loss all backed with the darker aspects of Chechen-Russian politics. 'Land Of Ghosts' is a genuinely interesting read, allowing me to delve deep into a subject I was previously largely ignorant of, whilst maintaining the importance of action and empathy throughout. Tallis remains a convivial character, if perhaps more of a loveable rogue.
I would recommend this book to anybody, from fans of the espionage of Le Carre, to even the more action packed books of Chris Ryan. In fact, my girlfriend who is a long term lover of the feminine literature of Elizabeth Gaskell and the Bronte's even enjoyed it, thus cementing the truth that 'Land of Ghosts' is capable of sticking its hooks into the most dissimilar of readers (save for an insipid few).
So I urge you to give this book ago, I promise that you will enjoy, and maybe even learn something along the way.

First the good points. The action is fast moving and there is no problem turning the pages and it is an entertaining read. Having said that, the number of tricky spots our hero gets out of are just too many, and quite unbelievable. He truly is a master of all trades. Picks up languages in a week, crack shot, rich foreigners, who he has only just met, just love him and will move heaven and earth to offer help, etc., etc..
I have two main complaints (without giving too much away), Wandering around downtown Moscow and showing a photo of a young boy to almost the first random woman he comes across to ask if she knows him, gets a positive response and a detailed lead of where to find him. Wow, what luck eh! Not to mention he is a young man now, so there might just have been a bit of a change in his appearance?
The second stroke of good fortune (amongst many others), is that in rescuing someone from a minefield, it turns out luckily to be the ONLY son of a rebel leader. No danger of anything but a positive response from that particular customer then. The fact that the boy should have known the area like the back of his hand in the first place did not get in the way advertising yet another super skill, IE negotiating minefields, for our intrepid hero to add to all the others.
All in all, as I say, a good read, but closer to a comic than a plausible novel. If you suspend all belief before you start, you might just enjoy it!

A good holiday read. I first picked up one of EVSeymours books in South Africa, in an exchange with another reader who had completed all their books! glad I did - have now read all of them and am waiting for the next!
