Description

Two sworn enemies. One deadly mission

‘A brilliant thriller. You’d be mad not to buy this’
BEN AARONOVITCH

–––––––––––––––––––––––––

JAY QASIM is finally out of the game and trying to lay low. But then he gets news that rocks his world and drags up everything that he thought he’d left behind. Jay must break his vow never to work with MI5 again and turn to the person who sold him out. But this time he’s determined to do it on his terms.

IMRAN SIDDIQUI once tried to kill Jay but now they have a common adversary. The one thing worse than death is watching the people closest to you die. And after the happiest day of Imran’s life becomes the most tragic, he will stop at nothing to take revenge on the people that have taken away his family.

But when everyone has their own agenda, who can you really trust?
Your most deadly enemy is about to become your closest ally.

Ride or Die is an edge-of-your-seat thriller featuring MI5 most reluctant spy Jay Qasim, perfect for fans of Mick Herron’s Jackson Lamb series and A.A. Dhand’s D.I. Harry Virdee thrillers.

“Ride or Die is an thrilling suspense that dares to ask the question: what happens when your sworn enemy becomes your closest companion, when the man who once tried to kill you becomes your protector? After once trying to kill Javid “Jay” Qasim, Imran “Imy” Siddiqui must now be his companion and protect him on the MI5 mission in which they have been thrown together with a common goal: eliminate “The Teacher,” al Jabbar, who just happens to be Jay’s Jihadist father.

This exciting novel is compelling, examining a Jihadi world most of us have read about on the news, but have never experienced. It’s full of trauma, current and past, and the lengths two men will go to seek revenge. Jay wants to eliminate his extremist father al Jabbar, “The Teacher,” after finding out that reports of his death were false, and he is in fact still alive. He is the man Jay both loves and hates; a father to millions but not to his own son. Imy seeks payback for the murder of his wife and son, killed on their wedding day, which, as the survivor, was at once the happiest and worst day of his life. Jay is the man he once tried to kill, a rambling, panicky, incompetent former MI5 agent that you can’t help but like. He is the polar opposite of Imran “Imy,” his taciturn, angry, reluctant-is-a-total-understatement companion through Pakistan and Afghanistan. Thrown together on this mission by MI5, they are “Ride or Die” companions, off to find and eliminate al Jabbar. Although this is Book Three of the Javid Qasim series, and I haven’t had the opportunity to read the first two novels, I found this to be a fine, thoroughly enjoyable, exciting standalone work, and I’m looking forward to reading the other novels to fill in the background.

I’d like to thank NetGalley, Khurrum Rahman, and HQ Publishing for allowing me to read this novel in exchange for an honest review.
