I recently discovered the author with his second “Watchman” book, Close Quarters. I was very impressed with the style, the flow and the feel of the book and determined to catch up on the original Watchman and Mr Magson’s other works.
So, to Red Station. The first in the Harry Tate series, here we have an ex soldier and MI5 agent who is involved in a drugs bust that goes wrong. To get him out of sight he is posted to Red Station, a small outpost in Georgia to join a small group of British agents who have been hidden out of the way. And there is lots going on around Red Station, the Russians are on the border, the Brits are being watched by a mysterious team and, as things hot up, it becomes apparent that they can trust nobody, not even each-other.
This seeps with atmosphere and strong writing. What’s going on with the Russians, why is Red Station actually there for and do the team have a real purpose or are they just expendable?
Tate tries to find answers and they don’t come easy, especially when people start to die.
This is a proper old fashioned (in a good way) intelligence thriller. Finding the author’s books has been a great discovery and he is one that deserves to be far better known and should be selling books by the truckload. I am going to have to work my way through more of the author’s works and you would be missing out if you didn’t too.
