Marc Dane is a MI6 field agent at home behind a computer screen, one step away from the action. But when a brutal attack on his team leaves Marc as the only survivor - and with the shocking knowledge that there are traitors inside MI6 - he's forced into the front line.
However the evidence seems to point towards Marc as the perpetrator of the attack. Accused of betraying his country, he must race against time to clear his name.
With nowhere to turn to for help and no one left to trust, Marc is forced to rely on the elusive Rubicon group and their operative Lucy Keyes. Ex US Army, Lucy also knows what it's like to be an outsider, and she's got the skills that Marc is sorely lacking.
A terrorist attack is coming, one bigger and more deadly than has ever been seen before. With the eyes of the security establishment elsewhere, only Lucy and Marc can stop the attack before it's too late.
Review:

Saw a poster of this at the station. Thought it was a movie. A lot of marketing going on for this book, which I am always skeptical of

It's £12.99 for the paperback but being on offer for 98p you can't really not give it a chance. I haven't read it myself yet, I'm not much into fiction but the write up sounds quite good and for 98p ....

Quality. A HUKD positive review! Glad someone has read it and can vouch for the fact I think it looks good. There's so much negativity and suspicion around everything on here!
