This is the first of a new thriller series which introduces us to Thomas Gunn, a former officer in the Parachute Regiment as part of the Special Forces Support Group and son of a billionaire business man.His father has been kidnapped and murdered and Thomas wants to know who is behind the murder and why it happened. As he struggles to find the answers, he quickly discovers that the more he learns, the less he understands.The story is extremely fast paced, action packed and full of intrigue and suspense.The characters are very well developed and the relationship between Thomas and his former colleague Danny is particularly poignant, with a real depth of feeling and affection communicated to the reader. I am sure that the author has drawn on his own personal experience to convey the camaraderie between two colleagues serving together in a war torn environment, as he himself was a member of the parachute regiment.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book which I found hard to put down.I await the next installment in the life of Thomas Gunn with anticipation, and hope that many of the characters in this book make a welcome return.
