Move over,
This review is from: Red Station (Harry Tate Thriller) (Paperback)
Move over John Le Carre, Len Deighton, Forsyth and all the others. Here comes Adrian Magson.
Red Station is the first book featuring Harry Tate. Following a botched drugs bust, Harry from MI5 is unjustly blamed and posted to 'Red Station' somewhere in eastern europe he is given a No Contact Rule. What his bosses haven't told him however, is that Red Station is a posting for problem spooks, these are people from MI5 and MI6 who have screwed up or are burnt out and they won't be going home. Harry soon realises that he and his fellow spooks are being watched. He begins to dig and finds that those who were recalled or left to go home never made it. Harry begins to suspect there is something very wrong at Red Station and in the highest echelons of the secret services. With his life is in danger from an invading Russian army and a government assassination team known as The Hit, Harry has had enough and he decides to fight back in the only way can. Red Station is written with great authority. Magson gives us atmosphere, authentic speech and characterisation all done with the light touch of a master. Harry Tate? I look forward to reading more. In my opinion Magson just gets better and better.

Review by Geraldine Evans
After an operation more bungled by circumstances than any incompetence on his part, MI5 agent Harry Tate is posted to Red Station in south Ossetia, a drab place where, apart from the ever-present followers, nothing much happens. But then things start to hot up. A British agent - one of the `Clones' stalking Tate - is murdered. He begins to suspect there is a mole in his small department. Worse, the Russians are massed on the border. The situation is becoming tense, but with no orders to leave the county, Harry Tate and his colleagues are left to fend for themselves, knowing that someone in England's shadowy spy world has set an assassin lose - with them as the target. Tate and two of his colleagues, their escape fraught with danger, stalked by a terrible death dealer, finally make it back to England. It is time to find out just who it was that ordered their murder. I enjoyed this book. It starts with a bang and, after a while in the spy's often humdrum world, we are treated to more excitement. All in all, a very good novel that is an enjoyable and intriguing read. I hope we'll be seeing more of Harry Tate.

A quality author,
By
This review is from: Red Station (Hardcover)
I have read Adrian Magson's earlier books and if you like edge of your seat non-stop action you will enjoy them.
Red Station is quite different in content to his earlier thrillers but just as enjoyable, innovative and imaginative. He is able to take you to another world, keep you engaged in the plot and enthralled as to what will happen next. I also love his style of writing. A quality novel, gritty but not gruesome.
