About this listen

The 15th thriller in the Spider Shepherd series promises even more enthralling action from the Sunday Times best seller Stephen Leather.

He is one of the world's most ruthless terrorists, codenamed Saladin. He plans and executes devastating attacks, and then, ghostlike, he disappears. Ten years ago he blew a plane out of the sky above New York - and now he's struck again, killing dozens in a London strike. But one of the latest victims is related to the acting head of MI5, who knows exactly who she wants on the case: Spider Shepherd.

Dean Martin, a psychologically damaged former Navy SEAL, is the only person in the world who can identify Saladin. But Martin was killed 10 years ago - wasn't he? Shepherd must find Martin and take him back to the killing fields on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Revenge on the world's most wanted terrorist is long overdue, and Shepherd is determined to be the one to deliver it....

Another great book, my only gripe was that there were a couple of audio slips where accents changed for people... Noticeably lex harper is scottish again haging been a cockney in a previous book

Great book, 1 slight mistake

More fabulous entertainment superbly narrated once again.
Only downside is spiders Mrs is becoming a pain in the butt, making fiction too close to reality. Dump her Dan, Button needs you.

Another brilliant listen.

You can't beat a Spider Shepherd story, this one is no exception, although it was set out slightly different from the rest, still a belter!

As always, I really enjoyed this story. I particularly enjoyed the 10 year flash backs. the way the past influenced the present was brilliant.
However, Katera has become a liability. She's been around for long enough to know what Spiders work is all about. Her naivety is both dangerous and ridiculous and her level of jealousy is just annoying. I'm ready for her character to be gone. I'd love to see Spider dating Charlotte. that relationship is well overdue. alternatively he can look me up anytime.

Loved it but...

The Scottish version of Lex Harper is back 😂 Was the English version in ‘Black Ops’ a mere oversight?

Anyway another cracker from Stephen Leather.

Jock Harper is Back!!
