Fast paced, pulsing with authenticity, Devereux has a hyper-macho and gripping narrative voice. A little long-winded in getting started as we didn't perhaps need the army prequel, especially if we've read his previous book about exploits in the SAS - but pretty unputdownable.

The author had a previous career in the SAS and this book gives an interesting insight into his new career of professional bodyguard. It is well written and informative and had a few touches of humour amid the tension. Thanks to Net Galley for my copy. I reviewed on Amazon and Goodreads
