Product Description

Product Description

In July 1945 MI6 agent Paul Dark took part in a top secret mission to hunt down and execute Nazi war criminals. He will discover that everything he understood about that mission, about its consequences, and about the woman he once loved, has been built on false foundations. Now it's 1969 and a KGB colonel called Slavin has walked into the High Commission inLagos, Nigeria,and announced that he wants to defect. His credentials as a defector are good - he has highly suggestive information which indicates that there is yet another double agent within MI6, which would be a devastating blow for a Service still coming to terms with its betrayal by Kim Philby and the rest of the Cambridge Five. Paul Dark has been largely above suspicion during MI6's years of self-recrimination. But this time he can see his number coming up. For some it would be fight or flight time. But when you discover that everything you've taken for granted and trusted for twenty four years turns out to be untrue, and when your arrest may only be moments away, then perhaps the only option is both fight and flight. Free Agent is a twisting, intense thriller set between London and Nigeria during the height of the Cold War. It's a novel of innumerable cliffhangers, all set within a constantly evolving moral universe, and the surprises keep coming until the very last page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-thumping action, 10 May 2009
By Ronald A. Pavellas (Stockholm) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I picked this book up (and paid for it) at the only English language book store in Stockholm Friday evening. I finished it the next day (glad it was Saturday and had the time).

The pace was almost too much for this 72-year-old heart, but I survived well. I remember a few things about the Biafran/Nigerian War of the 1960s, but this book put it all into historical and political perspective. What a marvelous blend of real life occurrences and a thrilling, fictional tale woven around and through them. Its great to be able to look forward to more about "Free Agent" Dark in future stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, pacy and full of twists, 27 April 2009
A book has to be good for me to be motivated enough to go back and keep re-reading bits to understand every movement of the plot, and this one was. Keeping up with Paul Dark and his twisty world of spies and double agents was a helter skelter thrill of a ride. The setting in the Nigerian-Biafran War was well-observed and full of detail, the writing tight and elegant, and the conflicts of Dark's moral universe entirely relevant. (Eliza Ebooklover's Mum)
