'A brilliant technothriller that reads like a Bond movie, complete with terrific action sequences, memorable characters, and the fate of the world at stake. I could not put this book down, from the opening that completely reverses all expectations to the cracking climax. The pace never lets up and the story stays with you long after the final page' ZOË SHARP. PRAISE FOR JUDITH O'REILLY: 'Terrific' LEE CHILD. 'High-octane' SUNDAY TIMES. 'Thought-provoking, pacy and thrilling' SUNDAY MIRROR.
