As a big fan of David Leadbeater's 'Matt Drake' series, I was very excited to read the first of his new 'Disavowed' series - and now I have another literary hero in Aaron Trent.Anna and Monika are best friends, trying to save enough money from their work as dancers in a gentleman's club to move to Miami and go to college. But the club comes under attack, Monika is abducted and Anna is left to take care of both their sons. A friend of Anna's contacts the Razor's Edge, a team of three ex-CIA agents who, since their disavowal, do what they can to help out 'good people in bad situations' and they set out to find Monika and bring her home.The Razor's Edge is not just an action-adventure book. We are drawn into Trent's life in particular and his problems with his ex-wife. He desperately misses his son and is frustrated at the lack of control he has over Mikey's upbringing. Radford and Silk promise to be just as involving as the series continues, and all three members of the Razor's Edge have depth, are plausible and interact together beautifully. They all have flaws, but they are all essentially good men - even when pushed to the edge (pun intended) and beyond.I was gripped from the first chapter to the last by real heroes, with real lives and plenty of adrenaline, what more could you want? Oh yes, another book please.
