I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for providing me this review copy.
This review is based on my completing this book and is my honest opinion about my experience while reading it.
This is the second book in the series. I have a soft corner for thrillers and am always on the lookout for newer authors whose works I can read and fits my zone. Aiden's book is in the zone and I liked reading this book and would love to read other books by him. This story is 3.5 stars for me closer to 4 stars rather than 3.
This is a spy adventure that is based predominantly in Africa with the diamond industry at the centre and further moves around the globe across many countries. The story blurb hit the nail in the head and the story ably follows through. As a black operative Pierce is lethal with license to kill whose name is tainted in a conspiracy and is now a marked man sought by his own agency.
The story is taut and moves at a good pace with Pierce trying to elude his assassins while moving out from the frying pan into the fire.
Loved the story.

Thank you for the opportunity to preview Deep Cover. This is a book that is filled with espionage and suspense. It is a series book. This is number 2. I didn’t read the first one but it isn’t necessary because it can stand alone.
This book takes you overseas and around the world.
Mark Pierce is our protagonist and he’s a great lead. He’s not perfect. He’s flaws but so likable.
I think I will read the first one. Very good. 3.5 stars

This is the second book in a series and it is a step up from the first in terms of writing and characters.

If you like espionage thrillers and action books you might like this.

In theory this book should be a 4 star read for me but it was just lacking *something* and I don't know what it was hence me rating it 3.5 stars. A lot of my favourite books make you feel like you are in the action alongside the main characters and this doesn't make you feel this way. This doesn't make this a bad book by any means. It is just not a book where I can wholeheartedly give 4 stars to it.

It is well written and there is decent character development, especially from the first book. I just wanted something different from it than what I got.

Thanks to NetGalley, Inkubator Books and Aiden Bailey for the advanced copy of this book.

Mark Pierce has been in hell since our last meeting. Hidden away and tortured for months on end by the sleazy CIA honcho Walsh. He finally stores up enough strength and makes his break for freedom but now he has a potential civilian to try and get to safety as well.

Mark sets off into another globe trotting adventure from Africa to Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and South Africa amongst other places. He has some former allies to help out along the way and even some unwilling help. It was great to see Summerfield back, even in a limited way. Mark even manages to flip another CIA operative into helping him pull the wool over the CIA's eyes.

The storylines within Africa were especially heart-breaking with a visceral depiction of the child soldiers and horrific work practices by unscrupulous diamond conglomerates. The story definitely takes you by the scruff of the next and doesn't let go.

WOW! After I read the first book in the series, I was hooked. This second book was even better!
Mark Pierce is once again fighting for his life, and those innocents he meets along the way. His problem is he never knows who he can truly trust.
Fast paced, action filled storyline that had me reading through the night. I cannot wait for the next book. A must read!
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Deep Cover is the second book about Mark Pierce by Aiden Bailey. It all starts with a few months of trouble for the trigger Man and then it takes of with a wild chase to proove that he is not a terrorist. The book is mainly set in Africa but it also covers other countries and it is as the last one a well written thriller with a brand new hero that is to my liking. I haven't tried anything else from this author but I am sure it is good as well. I really can recommend this relatively new series if you like action and suspense. I must thank Inkubator Books and Netgalley for supplying me with this advance copy.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and author for this eARC.

Wow, this is one entertaining read that just doesn't let up! Whilst this is the second book featuring Mark Pierce I'd say it can be read on its own, although I'll definitely be looking to read the first book, The Trigger Man, when I can.

The story certainly hits the ground running with a great start that drew me in immediately. Pierce has been held and tortured and manages to escape his captors. What follows is a huge manhunt to find and kill him. I think the author has created a character I'm not going to forget easily - Mark Pierce is a lethal combatant who can hold his own and I was rooting for him throughout. Who can he trust though, and is everyone as they seem? This read has everything I like - great writing, a good plot line, plenty of action and thrills and an ending that sets up the next book nicely.

If you like books with a spy/espionage theme I'd recommend this. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

4 stars

The Trigger Man is back with an amazing thriller with quite a few plot twists, a great cast of characters, and the usual bad guys. A lot of adventure in multiple countries and a whole lot of suspense/action.
Thanks to Aiden Bailey, Inkubator Books, and NetGalley for the ARC of this novel and I totally recommend this book. Pretty sure there will be a
continuation to this thrilling series.

This book was amazing! I am in love with Mark Pierce’s character, he is such an articulated character that is very warm hearted. I love the portrayal of his character being so giving while also being badass. I am absolutely obsessed with this book, it has the perfect amount of suspense and plot twists that keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting to read more. This book deserves 5/5 stars to me!
