Andy McDermott — 2020

EVERY OPERATIVE KNOWS THE RULES. The mission comes first. You are a deniable asset. Betrayal is punished by death. Alex Reeve is Operative 66. A former special ops soldier and one of the UK's deadliest weapons, he is part of the secretive SC9 - an elite security service with a remit to neutralise the country's most dangerous enemies. But now Reeve is in the firing line. Accused of treason, Reeve is forced to flee as his team is instructed to eliminate the 'rogue asset' at any cost. Reeve must survive, alone and under the radar, with the full power of the state arrayed against him. He doesn't know why he's a target. Or who betrayed him. But if one man has the skills necessary to uncover the truth...it is Operative 66. From the international bestseller comes an explosive and action-packed new thriller - the perfect pulse-racing read for fans of LEE CHILD, DAVID BALDACCI, VINCE FLYNN and GREGG HURWITZ.

Oh Good grief - Eddie may have a new challenger as fave character from this author!! Alex Reeve may be his new name, to go along with his new career in SC9, but he still retains all of his formidable skills. Something that whoever is attempting to frame him as a traitor doesn't seem to take on board. Alex just wanted to serve his country in a new wave but now he's on the run, injured and attempting to find out just who is targeting him. Thankfully he is not only a man of action but also of intelligence and strategy. He makes mincemeat of those sent against him and manages to make a few unlikely allies along the way! Alex is a brilliant mix of Bond/Bourne and a dash of The Equalizer for good measure. He may work on the murky side but he has a set of rules that he won't break for anyone. Even on the run his sense of honour won't let him leave those he finds in need to fend for themselves. He'll take on SC9 while fending off drug dealers with murky muscle and defending an abused girlfriend! Maxwell - I was never quite sure what he was up to! He is your classic spymaster and plays a good game. The other team members all have distinct personalities - even though that means one or two of them I wouldn't mind bashing over the head! Mad dashes from Scotland to London and France reminds me of The Thirty Nine Steps, one of my favourite books ever. Alex and Connie are a great combo and she takes to the spy life well! I really hope these two get more books and become the Eddie and Nina of the spy world! Brilliant plot and thoroughly enjoyed it!
