Outstanding.
SUNDAY TIMES
Frank Gardner’s second thriller is even closer than his first, <i>Crisis</i>, to dealing with the world’s most immediate fears . . . current international events do not necessarily turn into exciting novels, but Gardner skilfully mixes knowledge garnered as the BBC’s security correspondent with breathless action.
- Marcel Berlins, THE TIMES
Lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending. Good stuff.
- Frederick Forsyth, DAILY MAIL
<i>Crisis</i>, the debut two years ago by the BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner, was much admired, and the second in his Luke Carlton series is even better . . . its themes of Iranian bomb production and divisions in the country’s elite have great topicality.
