About this listen

An explosive thriller from former MI5 officer, Tom Marcus, author of the best-selling Soldier Spy, sees the Blindeye team take down a terrifying threat to UK national security.

When no one knows you exist, you don’t have to play by the rules....

Meet former MI5 officer Matt Logan, now part of a totally deniable government organisation known as ‘Blindeye’, with full licence to do whatever it takes to neutralize threats to the UK’s national security.

When intelligence comes through that the Kremlin plans to launch a terror attack in London, Logan and the team set in motion a surveillance operation on a billionaire Russian oligarch who may be connected with the incoming threat.

As they dig into the man’s life, they soon discover a network of incredibly dangerous individuals whose plans could tear the nation apart. Battling personal demons of his own, Logan must defend his country from a terrifying enemy, or die trying....

Defend or Die is the second in Tom Marcus's breathtaking series featuring tortured MI5 operative Matt Logan, following on from Capture or Kill.

A second great chapter in the Logan ‘Blind Ey” story

Keeps you riveted. Doubtless there is more to come. Lots of great detail to colour the characters. And read very well to distinguish the characters. Thoroughly enjoyable. The author’s background helps him create authenticity. If you haven’t listened to his own autobiography it is well worth doing so.

Average

Tom Marcus became my favourite author overnight with his non-fiction books. The Sherlock Holmes level of observation operatives have combined with the logistical brilliance of MI5 was insightful and fascinating. Unfortunately these fiction books do not follow the same scripting format - Marcus’ military style ‘no-nonsense’ writing, adrenaline rush of “STEAL BADGE” car chases, surveillance technology and organisation of surveillance operations - has all been lost. I miss Marcus’ original blunt and direct writing style. Maybe the emotional format now appeals to the masses. The plot feels dated, involving brainwashing and a damsel in distress. I would highly recommend the authors non-fiction books for a eye-opening, more grounded read.

Errr...

...what went wrong this time? Too many 'dreaming' scenes, a lot of action but not much story. I wont be getting the 3rd book.

Fast paced

This is writen in a different style to his other books. At first I wasnt sure but after the first chaptet I was hooked. Its fast paced, dark and edgy. The narrator done a great job keeping the characters voices the same as the other books so you knew exactly who was talking straight away. Great listen and cant wait for more!

Much anticipated return of Matt Logan

This book is a brilliant follow on from the previous one. It's fast paced, flowing and full of twists and turns. Furthermore the narrator (Jason Langley) really brings the story to life. I would definitely recommend this series of books, especially for people into series from Andy Mcnab, Chris Ryan etc.

Gripping story by a real life hero!

I’ve read and now listened to all of Tom’s books, from his autobiographies, I Spy and Soldier Spy to his first work of fiction featuring Matt Logan, Capture or Kill. I’ve really enjoyed Defend or Die and can’t wait for the next one, Target and Destroy. My only complaint is the finale happens so quickly but that’s his writing style. 10/10

Slightly disappointed

Completely agree with some of the previous reviews. Started off interesting and the story evolving into high intensity.
Then boom .... strung out scenes of PTSD, and chapters of conversations with himself and then under the church ..... just seemed to lose its depth. I’ve waited in anticipation for this to be released , and to be honest was not the Tom Marcus or “Logan/ blind eye” I was expecting.
Excellent narration managed to hold the story together
