Summary

The stunning new spy thriller that blows the world of James Bond wide open!

Six days.

A bomb goes off at the BBC. The country is in chaos, but this is just the start. A global terrorist organisation is plotting a series of deadly attacks. MI6 has just six days’ warning for when the next one will strike.

Three agents.

With James Bond missing, three of MI6’s toughest Double O agents race across the world to stop the attacks. From Venice to Australia to Dubai, they soon uncover a vast network of terror.

One chance to find James Bond.

As the Double Os close in, they find themselves unexpectedly inching closer to 007. Now the race is on to stop the terrorists – and save Britain’s finest spy.

A thrilling second installment

It’s fair to say that Sherwood’s Double O series has found its rhythm. The first story did a tonne of world building and had a slightly more confused story but this second installment feels more concise and focused.
Big fan of both Rachel Wolf and Joanna Harwood and as an impatient listener can’t wait for the third installment to arrive!
Pippa’s narration and audio performance is on point although the audio drop-ins or pickups are quite noticeable and distracting at times which has nothing to do with the voice artists reading.

Having multiple story threads is, imagine a tough balancing act from the author but where it means descriptions for places and items are sometimes brief it lends itself to the sweeping narrative pacing of the story.
It also means there’s some biggish jumps in time which I feel doesn’t add any additional tension.

For those detractors of the first story A Spy Like Me is an incredible journey and one well worth reading.

Story

Great story. Distracting that it was written in present tense. Made it more difficult to follow.
