Not all terrorists are driven by religion or politics.
Dan "Spider" Shepherd and his SAS team are on the trail of a terrorist whose motives are much more personal. Sabit Kusen wants revenge and doesn’t care how many innocents he kills along the way. Shepherd and his team hunt their quarry around the world - from Athens to Paris to Zurich to Singapore and on to Sydney - but the elusive Kusen is always one step ahead of them.
Can Shepherd catch Sabit Kusen before he carries out his most audacious attack? And does he have what it takes to pull the trigger to end the fanatic’s reign of terror?

The story takes off with an SAS posting in Afghanistan, featuring Spider and other characters who will reappear in adventures to come. As the plot develops, both actions and actors become less and less realistic. Sorry, Stephen, this is way too exaggerated for my liking. No need to elevate Spider to a super human in his early years. Nor to make the SAS appear a rogue squadron secretly calling the shots in UK‘s foreign policy.
My recommendation: If you haven’t read/heard of Spider Shepherd yet, start the series with the ‚actual‘ part 1 (Hard Landing). If you know the series, you‘re bound to be disappointed - but you know, that Stephen Leather usually does way better than this.
No disrespect, Mr Leather! Looking very much forward to Spider Shepherd 16.
P.S.: Flawless narrating by Paul Thornley, 5 stars as usual.
Avoid, go to Hard Landing
