This was a different type of thriller for me as I would not usually go for the spy setting. This is very factually correct for the time period that it is set in. Myself was only one when this was set however on discussing book with others they have advised that this is what life was like. The characters have been dynamically constructed so that they are able to adapt to the environment whether this is in the UK or overseas. I will definitely be recommending this novel to some people that love James Bond as this is going to be their thing.
