I chose to read White Fire, the third in a series by Adam Hamdy featuring Scott Pearce, thinking I had read the previous two books (when you read a lot it’s easy to get confused). I soon found out I was mistaken as there are numerous references to Black 13 and Red Wolves which made no sense at all to me. I would not recommend starting with White Fire as there are narrative threads that seem to run through all three books.
Scott is part of a team, funded by a wealthy benefactor with seemingly unlimited resources, who are up against a shadowy organisation with members everywhere – this is not a new or unique scenario. In order to avenge a colleague, Scott goes undercover with a radical environmental group with links to the man they are trying to locate. His fellow team members, Leila and Kyle, are pursuing a different lead. Somehow, the opposition always seem to be one step ahead.
The characters are well drawn and believable, though some of the bad guys are a bit formulaic, and action scenes keep the plot moving along at a fair pace. I enjoyed reading White Fire on one level, but not enough to bother going back to read the first two books. This is a very crowded market and the author did not bring anything that had not been done before. Thanks to Pan Macmillan and NetGalley for a digital copy to review.

The third instalment of this espionage action thriller series. Ex-MI6 operative Scott Pearce is drawn into a high-stakes fight where danger lurks at every corner. This tale will keep you hooked until it's explosive end.

A feast of fast paced action in the latest Scott Pierce thriller! This one moves at a break-neck speed and leaves you wanting more.

I love thriller featuring Scott Pearce and this one was fast paced, action packed, and thrilling.
An exciting and gripping read, full of surprising twists.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

In this, the third in the Scott Pearce series, Adam Hamdy fills the pages full of action, deceit, intense plots and believable threats. This is also very timely, concerning the way people have abused the planet in their search for wealth without really counting the cost to humanity.. The small group of characters are now well established, with their own back stories. This is an excellent read, I loved it, but was also a bit scared by how believable it was.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Scott Pearce and his associates are back and on the trail of the people behind the Black 13 and Red Wolves movements. Scott infiltrates an environmental group called White Fire and soon discovers that the leader and members have been tricked into working with the group behind Black 13 and Red Wolves - what is planned would be catastrophic for the country.

Don't want to say anymore for fear of spoilers but highly recommend this and the whole Scott Pearce series.

Thanks to Netgalley, Pan Macmillan and Adam Hamdy for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

I've been a massive fan of Adam's books for a few years now and I always look forward to a new release.
Adam has the perfect balance into espionage, action, mystery and suspense 8n White Fire.
The plotlines kept me wanting to read more and Scott Pearce is the perfect spy.
When an ex MI6 agent goes rouge in order to avenge a personal death all hell breaks loose.
Also Scott and the team are also on the hunt for a radical climate change group that try to avert a climate catastrophe but with deadly consequences.
Action packed throughout a fantastic thrill of a ride.
Can't wait for the next one!

Hot on the heels of Adam Hamdy's novel Red Wolves, comes the latest Scott Pearce story called White Fire. It's a book that's very hard to put down, a rip roaring thriller featuring the ex MI6 agent Scott Pearce. He is a man out for revenge. But has he heard that revenge is a dish best served cold? Me thinks not. Pearce in his hunt for the man who caused the demise of Brigitte Attali a former DGSE agent, goes in to deep cover to find out who is behind a radical group called White Fire. He forms quite a relationship with Mary Knight, the group's leader a woman with brains, beauty and a sensuality which Pearce cannot resist. But is Mary all that she claims she is? Pearce is Janus headed over her, if something is too good to be true, surely it cannot be. Mary does show Pearce a new way of thinking, hoping he will be an environmental soldier along with the group and the man surely becomes torn. Pearce is resolute in his search for Brigitte's killer though and along with his old friends Leila and Wollerton, they track him down but he's up to a dastardly scheme to bring civilisation to its knees. Can the trio prevent it?
A great thriller with some pleasing softer moments.

This is the third in the “Scott Pearce” trilogy, a small team working for a mysterious benefactor against a group that seems to have endless power and influence. Very much action packed and page turning stuff, as per the previous books. Here the team are trying to stop something that could be truly world changing and they may be too late. Good characters and interaction between them
Like the other books this is great fun and an easy page turning read. If I was to be slightly critical I would mention slight repetition, clues with expiring breath, bad guys assaulting as soon as the team appear to be safe etc, but a minor quibble in what is an action packed and entertaining read.

This book continues the story started first in Black 13 and which was continued in Red Wolves. Usually with series books I would recommend you start from the beginning and read in order but I think this time I would do more than recommend as there is a LOT that has gone before and the catch-up contained herein only serve as memory links rather than proper fill the gaps. What has already happened is a bit convoluted and it's all interconnected with what happens here so I think you'd be on a hiding to nothing if you go in blind. And... they are both cracking reads in themselves anyway!
So... Scott Pearce and his team continue fighting the good fight. Many times over. This book, like its predecessors, hits the ground running, is action packed all the way through, only stopping momentarily for a bit of reader respite. Pearce continues with the indestructible Captain Scarlet persona he has channelled through the previous books! Jeez how much more can a guy actually take!?!
This time it's a bit topical as it concerns Climate Change - a hot topic indeed. And a radical group are taking steps to try and avert climate catastrophe. Steps that to anyone would be completely over the top, but as with any good "radical group" they have managed to infiltrate the more sensible, peaceful, protesters and convinced them to join ranks. But what they are planning to do with, well, let's just say the fallout would not be pretty if they are not stopped.
As with previous books, the action comes thick and fast and the whole delivered punch after punch - literally in some cases. It all ramps up to a wholly satisfying climax which satisfies most of the ongoing threads but leaving enough open for me to get excited at what might happen in book four.
My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Another fast paced thriller from Adam. A well plotted novel which keeps you on the edge of you seat. Scott Pearce and his team investigate Whit Fire an environmental group which links to an old enemy. A first class thriller highly recommended. Thanks to publishers for a first read of this book.

I can picture the movie of this book very clearly and you can see what the author wanted from this book.

This is a decent book but it does not work as a standalone book. You need to have read the previous books in the series for you to be investigated in this book I think. It’s unfortunate as I wanted to love this book and I just felt… indifferent.

Based on the type of book it is and the subject matter I should love this book but it’s just too…. disparate I think it’s not quite high paced thriller, nor is it slow, nor is it drawing me in or keeping me hooked. I could put it down and not be bothered about not knowing how it ended or where it went.

Even with the climax this is dry. I don’t get why though. Some will love it but it’s not for me

The climate change bit seemed self righteous and just off. Like it was shoehorned in to try and make the book somewhat noble.

Its a decent book but not amazing but that could be down to my expectations

Thank you to NetGalley and Pan Macmillan for the ARC and the chance to read this book.

#Bookreview

Undoubtedly well written and my favourite genre, I felt in this case that I had arrived at the party late, having not read any of the previous books in the series.
The author did a good job of trying to catch me up but I really needed to start at the beginning I suspect and felt it didn't sit well as a stand alone novel.. Sorry.
