IS THIS THE GREATEST TERRORIST CATASTROPHE SINCE 9/11?
Three cities all lose power. No-one claims responsibility. Fears of a terrorist strike are imminent.
Josh Harding is a tough SAS soldier. Yet his disregard for authority has landed him a secondment to MI6's anti-terrorism unit. In the wake of the mysterious 'Three Cities' attacks, Josh finds himself on the way to the USA, on the trail of a pair of intrepid young hackers who are out to try and make themselves a fortune, and who are in grave danger from those who would kill for the secrets they have managed to uncover: how to control the power of the Western world.
But soon Josh finds himself waking up in a ditch, bloody and wounded, and with no memory of who he is, how he got there, or how he got hurt. Yet one thing is for certain - Josh is in danger.
Stranded in the Wild West, Josh must rely on his instincts as a soldier and on the kindness of a beautiful stranger in order to escape those who appear intent on tracking him down and killing him - all for a secret he can't remember.
His determination to discover who he is, and what he was doing there leads him into an explosive web of corporate blackmail, deceit and greed - where the stakes are high and where no-one can be trusted.
'Hard as nails'
—— Mirror'The SAS is to Chris Ryan what horse racing is to Dick Francis'
—— Boys Toys'Bone-crunching action...tough and fast-moving'
—— Amazon'Slick, polished and gut-wrenching stuff'
—— Irish Times'Chock full of military fat to chew on...will keep you awake until dawn'
—— FHM'A rollicking, feel-good adventure set among the murky and convulsive politics of the present-day Middle East'
—— JEWISH CHRONICLE'An exciting page-turner...unusual and intriguing'
—— WESTERN DAILY PRESS'It is not unusual for the Western detective story to be transported into Far Eastern surroundings. But it is the rare novel that offers a seductive and engaging local protagonist of such a story, penned by an Easterner. This does both with resounding success, as well as adding a dimension not typically found in the genre'
—— San Francisco Chronicle'Impeccably researched, this is sometimes poetic, often exotic and totally hardcore'
—— Daily Mirror'Wow! Partly 'normal' thriller and partly off-the-beaten-track Buddhist narrative ... An original and gripping novel'
—— Publishing News'John Burdett is purely and simply a wonderful writer, a genuine grown-up at work in a genre mostly populated by arrested adolescents...Bangkok 8 is a tour de force'
—— Washington Post'To say that Bangkok 8 in set in Bangkok is an understatement: it is suffused with the cooking smells, mired in the traffic jams and entangled in the bare limbs of the sex workers... not that the novel is slow going. Bangkok 8 goes from 0 to 60 in about 10 pages'
—— Time'Like a modern-day Indiana Jones adventure written by Evelyn Waugh...One of this season's cleverest and most stylish entertainments'
—— Wall Street Journal'Engaging, warm, humorous and poignant at the same time'
—— The Scotsman'This book is amazing . . . A must read'
