About this listen

A stunning, apocalyptic standalone sequel to The Stranger.

The terrorist Guy Fowle has escaped from prison.

Jude Lyon of MI-6 has been saved from a Syrian ambush by his lover - and enemy? - Julia Ermolaeva.

A mysterious Russian has been murdered in London and his thumb cut off.

The chancellor of the Exchequer has made an unfortunate social connection at a party, which he hopes he can keep secret.

And suddenly, the world is literally going up in flames.

Jude needs to start putting together the pieces of this jigsaw and quickly, because someone is putting into play a terrifying Russian plan to disable and destroy the UK. Once it has begun, it is designed to be impossible to stop.

Bad enough if that someone is the Russian government. Worse if it is the psychopathic genius Fowle, otherwise known as The Stranger.

Packed with stunning action, political intrigue, authentic tradecraft, emotion, shocks and nail-biting suspense, The Saboteur takes the spy thriller to new heights.

Enjoyed listening to the sequel of the Stranger

It is a good read. Don’t expect high literature but the main characters are well developed and the plot races along nicely. I passed many a relaxing hour listening.

A ripping yarn

Tense! Listened to it in two sittings. Great performance, outlandish but utterly believable plot. Great stuff.

Wow

Having enjoyed many, many espionage and other thrillers, I am not squeamish particularly, but I felt this book was gratuitously violent. The plot is not plausible and there is too much graphic torture and violence for me. I have abandoned it less than half way through. More brain less brawn please Mr Conway. A hint in the blurb would have been helpful.

Should have had a violence warning

I genuinely bought this book by mistake - for some reason it was in my recommendations and I somehow triggered the sale in my pocket and couldn’t cancel it.

I didn’t believe in any of the characters - all of whom are completely two dimensional - or the ridiculous plot. I can’t think of anything to recommend it at all, although the reader is competent.

A tedious, adolescent, macho fantasy
