My Review:
This was a thrilling and very gripping book based on the author’s personal experiences which made for truly fantastic reading.
There is lots going on in this book which immediately sparked my interest and ensured I was fully absorbed from the srart. From political intrigue, terrorist plots and gruesome murders this book had a great plot to it that made the book a very fast paced read.
Sean was my favourite character and I loved following him as he tried to solve a difficult case. He is very brave and very clever which shows in the amazing way he deals with the high risk situations he finds himself in. There are some fantastic scenes describing his adventures which were vividly described so the reader gets a sense of the emotions behind the scenes.
I thought this book was very well written and the plotting was superb with a slow build up of tension and some great revelations to keep the reader on their toes. The style of the book really helps to make this an exciting, gripping read which I found very hard to put down. This was the first book I’ve read by this author and I’m very excited to read more from him in the future.
Huge thanks to Rachel from Rachel’s Random resources for my copy of this book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
About The Author:
I started climbing at 13, survived being lost in Snowdonia at 14, nearly drowned at 15, and then joined the Army at 16. Risk and adventure was built into my DNA and I feel very fortunate to have served the majority of my working career as an intelligence officer within Defence Intelligence, and as an explosive ordnance disposal officer and military surveyor within the Corps of Royal Engineers.
I feel privileged to have served for twenty-eight years in the British Army as a soldier and officer, rising through the ranks to complete my service as a major. I served across the globe on numerous military operations as well as extensive travel and adventure on many major mountaineering and exploration expeditions that I led or was involved in.
I was awarded the Geographic Medal by the Royal Geographical Society for mountain exploration in 2003 and served on the screening committee of the Mount Everest Foundation charity for many years. It was humbling after so many years of service when I was awarded the MBE for services to counter-terrorism in 2007.
The Failsafe Query is my debut novel, and I hope you enjoy the follow up novel, The Kompromat Kill, the second in an ongoing series.
