Product Description

Review

John Creed's first novel to feature Intelligence Officer Jack Valentine and a fast-moving tale that largely takes place in Ireland and a remote Scottish island involving the IRA and American Special forces. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Product Description

The Sirius Crossing is a taut, gripping and intelligent thriller from one of the finest Irish writers of his generation. Jack Valentine has been in the intelligence game too long and it is starting to show, but he accepts one more mission. He always does. It seems like a simple task but it starts to throw up questions and he doesn't know the answers. What were American Special Forces doing in Ireland twenty five years ago and why does it matter now? What is the thread which leads from a deserted mountainside to the offices of the White House? Suddenly Valentine has information that everybody wants and he finds himself the quarry in a pitiless chase. To complicate matters he is joined by an old friend who is staying just ahead of his own deadly pursuit. And he draws an old flame into danger, because it seems that wherever Jack Valentine goes, innocence seems to suffer. Valentine no longer knows which threatens him most - the dark alliance of men who want to kill him, the terrible storm crossing he is forced to undertake in a battered, converted trawler, or his own dangerous cynicism.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb. One of the best books I have ever read., 13 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Eion Macnamee's book is superb. Reminiscent of early Len Deighton , "The Sirius Crossing" cracks along at a terrific pace and never lets up. It is warm, humane, exciting and utterly compelling. A truly inspiring book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fist rate action writing, 17 Aug 2006
This review is from: The Sirius Crossing (Paperback)
This is a highly readable and gripping thriller which moves along at a great pace. Highly recommended. The only thing I found less convincing (and the only reason I thought it deserved four stars rather than five) was the wider international aspect. But the Irish/British angles were extremely good; and the crossing itself was as dramatic as any thriller writing I can remember. In that respect, at least as good as Le Carre. If you're looking for a thriller, look no further.

A taut and exciting thriller from a great new Irish writer. Set in the world of post-cold war spying.
