Though I enjoy the story lines of these works I am afraid the typographical errors are beginning to ruin the reading of these.
That being said my original review which this now replaces pointed out one in particular which stated that colonel was spelt incorrectly 6 times. Who better to correct me than the author himself who pointed out that the word used in the book was the Spanish spelling.
As a result I am more than happy to put my review up to 4 stars and I promise that I will do more research into perceived spelling mistakes by any author in future before I let it disrupt the enjoyment of a book… (mer)

Following on from Rise to the Call, Cris de Niro and his watchman agency are back, when one of his own men has disappeared, de Niro is worried and has to call in a lot of favours from prominent statesman to achieve his goal. De Niro also receives a call from an old Korean War hero to help protect his granddaughter from the hands of a gang leader .

Again the master story teller has the reader enthralled and involved in the novel . The author knowledge and research is evident thorough out and adds spice to the adventure .

The characters resolve show that through the trial and ordeal, friendship and survival are the most important things in every one lives. The contacts de Niro has to use show when you do someone a favour on it's return it comes back twofold.

In the book the different ideologies that the main protagonists have shine through, but as you make an enemy a friend it shows that respect and tact can win the day.

Another masterpiece from this author. The way the characters are growing is amazing but you also develop your own personnel attachment with each one .

There is more emotion felt in this book as you really find out what a true leader Cris De Niro is and what he feels about all the people who work for him are worth.

This author is now on my reading list along with Lee Child, Peter Robinson and Ian Rankin.

Gerard opens his novel straight into the mystery and intrigue of the story drawing the reader in and wanting more, he seems.to be well versed in the political relations between international countries and the state of their capacity of arms and nuclear threat.

A first rate story of espionage, hostage taking and the hunt to rescue them. When their son fails to contact his parents, on his mothers birthday, they become worried. Not really knowing what or who their son is working for, they approach Chris de Niro for his help through his independent wealthy funded agency. Once approached de Niro takes up the challenge which leads him into confrontation with the Russians and Iranians and has to work quietly and quickly to avoid the possibility of another world war.

The writers style of writing is unique, by using plain and simple language with excellent explanations of his abbreviations he takes the reader on a roller coaster ride, no matter which character you are following you feel that you are there right beside them sampling the atmosphere that has been created

A real page turner with a twist on every page which enhances the mystery and keeps the reader hooked and absolutely craving for more, the only disappointment being is that the book has to finish.

When you discover a new author you will almost always be disappointed with one of their books, not in the case of Gerard de Marigny, his novels are going from strength to strength. It's no secret that I am now a big fan of the author and I am sure as more readers start to read his books he will be on everyone's list and will be on a few more best sellers list.
