Review :
It’s awesome Tom mixes tense drama with fascinating insight into the lives of security service operators, to deliver a blistering read This debut from a former MI5 surveillance operator is one of the most exciting I have read in a long time . . . Every page rings with authenticity, the tension is superbly sustained, and the central character is all too believable: a man wary of the power to kill A non-stop, fast-paced thriller set in contemporary Britain and reeking of authenticity You can’t create authenticity without having lived it. Capture or Kill is spy fiction which is brutally immersive. The most protected author in history - we had to disguise his identity to appear on Sky News - writing one of the best books I’ve ever read. You won’t be disappointed Capture or Kill is certainly one of the most gripping books I've ever read. A thrilling, tough, vivid & rewarding experience from start to finish. Tom's writing is so honest, it opens the book to a whole new audience who may not think a "spy book" is their thing. I can't wait for the next in the series.
