Okay, a decent story but nothing that hasn't been written before about a different country from a different ex- so and so. Not taking anything away from the author's bona fides; just saying not very original/

Official secret services personnel are protecting a guy who has allegedly embezzled / done a $30million insurance fraud. Russians, MI5 and his own nephew may be after him. It's a long drawn out, boring story. You want to see multi-agency mess-ups? Watch Korean film 'The Berlin File' instead.

Well written and enjoyable read. The author has had an interesting life and the stories make good reading.

The author had a previous career in the SAS and this book gives an interesting insight into his new career of professional bodyguard. It is well written and informative and had a few touches of humour amid the tension. Thanks to Net Galley for my copy. I reviewed on Amazon and Goodreads

Fast paced, pulsing with authenticity, Devereux has a hyper-macho and gripping narrative voice. A little long-winded in getting started as we didn't perhaps need the army prequel, especially if we've read his previous book about exploits in the SAS - but pretty unputdownable.
