Welcome to the exhilarating world of Ant, a beloved figure renowned for his mastery of extreme adventure and his unwavering commitment to fostering a positive mindset. Mallory is reluctant to take on such a daunting task, but he almost immediately recognises that it is possibly his one and only chance to gain a little redemption as Donno was one of the colleagues who was injured on the battlefield thanks to Mallory’s operational shortcomings and bad judgement. After he starts investigating in Johannesburg, Mallory realises it is definitely something more than a drugs/gang thing or simple kidnapping.

We follow Mallory across three continents as he races to discover the truth and save his friend's family.Pacey, action packed and backed up by a great mystery and characters I really got behind, this was a fab debut and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Mallory in the future. A powerhouse of a thriller laden with explosive twists and pulse-pounding developments right from the start, this is a white knuckle ride from the off and the best action-thriller of the year, so if you enjoy fast and furious thrillers that keep you scintillated throughout then this is a must-read. The chapters are short; no time is wasted on long explanations and dialogue is relevant and to the point. When he is there, Donno’s mother asks him to do her a favour and find her other son, Scott, who she hasn’t been able to contact for three weeks.

In fact his only real 'kryptonite' is his guilt over what happened to Donno, but it is also his greatest strength and what drives him to do better. This captivating performance delves into Ant's remarkable life in the military, his unique training techniques, and the invaluable experiences that have equipped him to conquer any obstacle life throws his way. Was also pleased to see that Ant did not fall into the male author trap of over-sexualising the female characters (e. Ant clearly used his experience for the action sequences which meant they were on the whole believable without being overly dramatic/far fetched.It comes across as a very action packed, testosterone fuelled cinematic type of one hero led adventure at first, and with graphic references to military life in Afghanistan, I wasn't sure I would enjoy this at all.
