Synopsis

The rules are simple. Break up your shape. Hide your smell. Never show your silhouette. Check the surfaces of your kit. Space the movements of your team. Use the shadows. Danny 'Badger' Baxter has a talent for surveillance. He's always followed the rules. Until now, they've kept him alive. But now, Badger has a bigger job than photographing dissident Northern Irish Republicans in muddy Ulster fields, or Islamic extremists on rainswept Yorkshire moors. MI6 has a plan to assassinate the Engineer - a brilliant maker of improvised explosive devices, the roadside bombs that account for 80 percent of Allied casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. The spooks know he's planning to leave his home in Iran. They just need to find out when and where he's traveling.

I will start by pointing out that I am not a particular fan of the action/adventure political/military thriller genre that thi......more

Goodreads review by rob

One of Gerald Seymour's best IMHO. It's a typical Seymour political thriller. Based on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the plot hinges on the identification by the British spy services of a master Iranian bomb-maker, responsible for the technologies in IEDs (improvisd explosive devices, or road-si......more
