Perhaps it's redemption, perhaps he's looking for revenge on the world, but suddenly Mallory has a purpose, and nothing and no one is going to stand in his way. Mallory is reluctant to take on such a daunting task, but he almost immediately recognises that it is possibly his one and only chance to gain a little redemption as Donno was one of the colleagues who was injured on the battlefield thanks to Mallory’s operational shortcomings and bad judgement. Six months ago when the hero of the story Mallory and his team are making plans to enter a compound where they have information that Anwar Salim an enemy commander will be holding a meeting with Omar Massoud one of his top men. A frightening tale of struggling in extreme situations where only your wits and your military training can keep you safe.

Also what keeps him going and why he is determined to do right by Donno and his mother, even when the stakes are increasingly high. It is a game of cat and mouse, a chase to make the links between a code Donno and Scott's sadly now dead father hid and the unscrupulous people who want to use that code for their own gain.But it wasn't so there we have it a book about Ant Middleton in a different situation that was still a believable and good read.

I loved reading this book on the Pigeonhole app book club with my pigeonhole friends from around the world.It’s here: the landmark debut thriller from superstar Ant Middleton, million-selling, number one Sunday Times author of First Man In and Mental Fitness and star of SAS: Who Dares Wins. The characters were well written and the main character, Mallory, was strong, kind and interesting, with shoulders big enough to carry off the story.
