A spy has been sent into the cold because of a blown op. When the new head of MI6 ends up the target of a foreign op, Kell gets a chance to redeem himself.

Lots of action and twists and turns. I enjoyed the book and will definitely read more from Cumming.

Mehso-so

Read for a challenge with a book by a journalist this was .. a lot. Ex marine turned SBS is now trying out life in the security services when he gets pulled into a twisty issue that would have James Bond shaking his head. It moves very fast from cartels to more traditional enemies of the state and ends up in a rush to solve before a terrible attack. For me there was too much h here and it took away from the story⬇️

Itchyfeetreader Too many characters made it hard to care about anyone.. the girlfriend I was not a fan of, see also head of anti terrorism. All that being said I would probably give the second one a go if it turned up on a special offer ! 3mo

Having live through and watching the fall of the Berlin Wall while also being scared 💩-less by my older brother of impending nuclear annihilation by the Soviet Union as a child, this book was a fascinating behind-the-(Iron)-Curtain look into just exactly how the West was able to curtail Russian paranoia and ultimately dismantle generations of mistrust. One man sacrificed everything in pursuit of freedom.

Awk_Word_Smith MacIntyre did well not to paint Gordievsky as a saint nor a martyr. He sacrificed his family, his wife and two daughters. His wife never forgave him, and he was a stranger to his two young girls nearly a decade after his escape from Moscow. He is a lonely man now, forever in the crosshairs of the vengeful ex-KGB officers who line the halls of power in the Kremlin today, including the dictator himself Putin. 7mo

I unknowingly read this series out of sequence. I‘m actually glad I did. I liked the second book but, having really enjoyed this one, I might have been disappointed. “The Shadow Intelligence” was a masterfully plotted espionage thriller. The twists were unexpected and pacing increased as the story moved the reader along toward the chaotic, crescendo ending. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
