I read this book and was hanging on the edge of my seat. The tension - enough to increase my heart rate considerably. The plot involves many characters and in the murky, twilight world of smoke and mirrors, takes the reader to dusty deserts in Afghanistan, murderous mountain passes, covered in snow. Seedy city apartment blocks in Berlin where it seems to be persistently pouring with grey rain, and pubs in Ireland stuck in remote location's supping the Liffey Water. Every decision made by Arrow has to be precise, as his life depends on it. Various intelligence agents' try entering this covert world where one mistake will cost your life. A character called Ibrahim is the one person he can trust, like Solvite he won't let you down, the man is a legend. He breathes loyalty to his companions and fire to the enemy! Many other characters could not be trusted, as they increase their chance of an early demise by being a double agent. It is frighteningly real and each turn of the page was crackling with high voltage. You will also be subjected to adventure on the high seas, in a beautiful yacht stuffed with contraband, as payment for illicit weapons for the nefarious activities of terrorist organisations. Orchestrated and arranged by Governments and their agent's, along with high ranking terrorist's and gangsters. A highly volatile mix of extremely dangerous Characters. I will read this again, it's a belter! Don't take a chance; buy this book by Christopher.
