Great thriller that kept me engaged from start to finish. Fabulous plot and characters, and author I will definitely read more of!

What an incredible story written in the first person and based on actual events post Iraq War. Often times I completely forgot this was a work of fiction.

Jack Leavers puts the reader FRONT & CENTRE to all the action through the eyes of the main character, former Royal Marine John Pierce. I was engulfed in the story and fabulously spellbound by the events and how they easily and masterfully were unravelled.

When I read Jack Leavers biography, all the details that were shared flawlessly through this story just made sense as to how it was all incredibly believable. Such an awesome storyteller Jack!

Jack Leavers is a former Royal Marine with over thirty-years’ experience working in the military, private security, corporate investigations, maritime counter-piracy, and risk management. His varied career has included numerous deployments to conflict zones around the world such as Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, trouble spots in Africa, and the Somali pirate-infested waters of the Indian Ocean. He continues to work in challenging environments and has now begun to pen novels inspired by some of the more enterprising projects that got the green light and other audacious plans that didn’t. When knuckling down to write, he is normally based in London, UK.

Thank you Jack Leavers, The Book Guild and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review. Always so grateful for the opportunity to read complimentary books!
