This is a damn good little thriller lots of twists and hidden secrets. I was a little confused by the ending and had to re-read it but a thoroughly enjoyable read,( i was waiting for Jack Bauer to pop up and save the day! ) Excellent writing from this intelligent author. Definitely worth a read.

An excellent and well-written story. The twists are quite good and even when you think you know what's coming, you find that there's more than meets the eye.
The ending was a bit confusing and could have been more clear and explicit about what really happened. Otherwise, a very good story!

This was a decent little thriller. I wish the author had written more, though. The end seemed convoluted, as if the author had wanted to turn this into a full-fledged novel but then decided against it. J. D. Hughes definitely has a talent for drawing the reader into the story. His descriptions of setting and action are phenomenal. While a portion of the climactic ending was foreseeable, the rest was not. I just wish he had written more, especially with regards to the last section, which left me a tad confused and wanting more...

A very good thriller! I wished that it was longer. If you want twists then this is it. This is every bit as good as the top names in the field. Definitely one to read and enjoy.

I, like the other reviewers, was surprised by the twists. I am not a fan of terrorist activity or stories that are violent and end as this one did, so that is not what received the 5-star review. It was the thrilling suspense the author created. I can only imagine those who are fans of this sub-genre will find it exhilarating and edgy.

J.D Hughes writes so well that I'm tempted to think he is a famous author with a pseudonym. This is a great little story for me, even though its a tad outside my normal reading style. Can't wait for more- and don't I sound like a fan...sad :) but it has to be 5* again.

If you want a short thrillerish book then this works very well. the main character is how I imagine these guys to be, caught in a situation that is hard to get out of. It was very twisty and i didn't suss the ending at all.

Good read! Thought I'd got this down on the first few pages but then it did the twist and had me trying to guess the end, then it twisted again. I'd like to read a proper novel from this guy(?)

I read this short story after reading The 500, another of this author's works, and it was completely different. I am not normally a fan of spy thrillers, but this one gripped me throughout and had me wondering what would happen next. The writer has a fresh approach and a nice use of English but keeps to a tight style suitable for this sort of story. The story illustrates the devious nature of international politics and its victims in a very economical, tense way. Recommended.
