Hunting urban style

0/5 ( ratings)

A continuous spy-catcher story, with the plot rolling over, as each event ends, into the aftermath of that event and the follow up processes. A work showing that nothing in the counter terrorism world has a real finite end. The pace is fast with the plot developing and unrolling on every page. The endless alternative possibilities that arise when trying to understand what a skilled enemy may be intending to do next. The subterfuge and lies needed to ensure that same enemy does not become fully aware of what the counter terrorist service is really doing. An evolving story of skilled protagonists that constantly expands with ripples spreading out ever wider, as each bit of new information leads to more and more questions.
The story is told from the view point of one of the controllers of the counter terrorists. He is not the political or bureaucratic boss but the guy at the sharp end forced to manipulate his resources and personnel in ways that minimise the risk of a failure to follow the most fruitful lead while avoiding all the decoys and deceits his enemies employ.
Within this darkly mixed game of lies and inspirational insights, the controller is not even sure who his enemies are. He is even less sure who his friends are. The story flows from crisis to consolidation and back to crisis as differing possibilities emerge. What seems a finite success is just the beginning of another even more convoluted problem.
From stolen memory sticks to plots to blow an airliner, carrying the American secretary of state, out of the air as it lands at Stansted. From the wild emptiness of a Suffolk coastal setting, to the crammed streets of central London; the pace is relentless, the action moving and changing focus every page. From London to Colorado things move always twisting and turning until the final climax.
