Description
Harry Tate has one rule: you don’t abandon your friends. When he learns that former colleague Rik Ferris has had a breakdown and disappeared, allegedly in possession of highly sensitive secrets from MI6’s archives, he agrees to look for him and, if possible, bring him back in. But where to begin? Rik could be anywhere in the world.
All Harry knows is, if he doesn’t find Rik, others will be sent out instead. And they won’t play by the same rules. What Harry doesn’t know is that Rik is being held prisoner and tortured for information relating to a high-level mole in the British establishment. If he doesn’t tell his captors what he knows, it will result in a devastating cyber attack designed to bring the UK to its knees.

Harry Tate has left MI5 behind and settled into the private investigations business. Maybe not as exciting as his time with 5, but it keeps him busy and with a paycheck of some sort. Naturally he's a little surprised when he is contacted by an agent he doesn't know who wants information on Rik Ferris. Harry and Rik barely survived their posting to Red Station and have mostly gone their separate ways since then so he doesn't know where Rik is. Naturally MI5 doesn't believe him and they want Harry to find Rik for them. Nothing concerning Mi5 or 6 can ever be that simple. Somebody is pulling strings behind the scenes and they don't have Harry's best interest at heart.
This is my first experience reading this series and it will definitely not be my last. It was so nice to read a spy adventure that was held back, controlled enough, so that the actions might have actually been true. The action is realistic which is a refreshing departure from assassins who kill their foes in the dozens on their way to a resolution. Plus these characters think and react like regular people; as if they could actually be someone sitting at the next table to me in a restaurant. I have been told by a friend that I have been missing a treat by not reading other Adrian Magson series so I plan to correct that error pretty quickly. If any of the other series impresses me as much as the Harry Tate story, I'll be all set for a spell of reading good books.
Thank you to NetGalley and Severn House Publishers for an e-galley of this novel.

Adrian Magson is one of my favorite authors and this new installment from his Harry Tate Thriller series does not disappoint. TERMINAL BLACK is a fast-paced, exciting thriller with a very current and relative plot about Russian – American political dealings and cyber-attacks. Mr. Magson gives us a plethora of players in this dynamic spy novel, and oh what a tangled web they do weave. He gradually introduces each character and works them methodically into his story line. There is much tension as we learn each person’s motives and the games they are playing to save their own skin. TERMINAL BLACK is filled with unique twists and turns, with an engaging and well- crafted plot. Grab a copy … you won’t be disappointed!
