Stratton #6

by Duncan Falconer

Stratton's sixth adventure comes to a ripping climax in the heart of Russia, far below ground  After a surveillance mission in Sevastopol goes badly wrong, Stratton finds himself doing penance at MI16, the government's clandestine organization that creates weapons equipment for special forces and the secret service. But Sevastopol has started something. In the North Sea a team of hijackers take over the giant Morpheus oil platform, demanding two billion dollars within 24 hours—or the bodies will start falling. With the SBS overstretched and its surveillance team locked down, there is only one Stratton and a team of unproven MI16 operatives. Stratton knows he has to redeem himself and he also has his own agenda. One of the men on the rig is an old friend, and Stratton intends to save him. But one member of Stratton's team has their own deadly agenda, and Morpheus is just the beginning.

[Geoff Knight]

had a natural finish 2/3 rds of the way through. seems as though the author knew it was too short to finish there so an implausible storyline was dreamnt up from there. entertaining even so

[Pete · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good solid entertainment. Falconer adds several plot twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and the characters are a fun mix. Some high adrenaline action and a few touches of humor.

Rated 7/10 An easy to read to pass the time. A disgraced SBS operative is sent to sort a hijack on a North Sea oil platform. Pure escapism.

[Harry · Rating 4 out of 5]

From the Black Sea to the North Sea and back to Russia our hero is involved in a roller coaster ride of a story. As always there's loads of blood and bullets. I couldn't put this one down.

[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

MI6 has the bright idea of teaming brainy people from weapons research with real operators like Stratton.

[Tom Tischler · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is book 6 in the Stratton series and th is time we have
a group of mercenaries taking over an oil rig in the North Sea.
They demand 2 billion within 24 hours or the bodies will start dropping.
This is a secondary demand what they really want comes later and the only
one who an help is Stratton but he must go in with a group of
untrained scientists.

[ab · Rating 3 out of 5]

Enjoyed the feasibility of the action, the pace and the ability of the characters, physically and intellectually. The story is ambitious insofar the manipulation involved. Predictable but no less entertaining.
