5 STAR REVIEW
for the Audiobook
The Shadows series
"one of the best thrillers I've ever read! The plot is brilliant and extraordinarily complex. The characters are well developed and the book is riddled with great description and unexpected twists and turns that kept me on my toes page after page."
"I don’t remember being pulled into a book quite this way before. 17 minutes . . . 13 minutes . . . 2 minutes! It’s pretty wild how the author tosses us readers around in the story until we are exhausted – in a good way. Highly recommended."
"Gates gives the classic [spy] thriller a thoroughly modern upgrade."
"I can't recall ever breaking out in a sweat while reading a book before, but this one certainly got my adrenaline pumping."
"Gates makes the central theme of the story so plausible, that I am still not sure whether it is something that he latched onto in a previous profession."
The Head of British Intelligence is kidnapped.
A ransom demanded.
A private security company is tasked with his recovery.
But nothing is as it seems...
