Alive Until I Die: A Danny Pearson Thriller, Book 4
A face from the past. A knife in the back from the present.
They've tried to kill Danny Pearson before. This time, it's his own side pulling the trigger.
Undercover mission. Stolen military weapons. Easy job—until Danny recognizes the team Commander Rex Benton, a former friend who should be on the same side.
But nobody's on Danny's side anymore.
When a desperate government agency faces budget cuts and extinction, they make Danny the fall guy. His cover's blown. His handlers have vanished. And now he's got ex-special forces soldiers—men as lethal as he is—hunting him through the streets of London.
Trust no one. Survive everyone.
Danny's got one fight his way to the truth and leave a trail of bodies behind. Because the only way out is through, and Danny Pearson doesn't go down easy.

With the big 50 approaching, Stephen wrote the book he’d always wanted to. That book was Execution Of Faith.

More like Reacher every volume
After I read the first installment in this series, I said that Pearson reminded me of a British version of Lee Child's Jack Reacher. After the last two volumes (and the short stories), I think there is a bit of Ian Fleming's James Bond mixed in. Danny just likes beer instead of martinis. Enjoyable reading. I enjoy the length of the books as well. They aren't so long as to be intimidating, but they are long enough to develop a good plotline. I still think that the author could use some editing help. I know it is trivial, but there were a number of grammar errors, spelling errors, etc. They don't detract from the story, but they bug the OCD in me.

Danny, a continual target.
Danny wants a rest but it won’t happen for a while, he is on another mission, requested by Howard. This one is a hard one, he has to go undercover. Who to trust becomes more difficult, except for his long time friend Scott, Edward his boss at MI6, Paul at the security firm he works with and Tom another agent who he has worked alongside and has a close comrade bond, all can be relied on. The best book yet, full of unbelievable action.

I’m so pleased I came across Stephen Taylor as this Danny Pearson series is gripping, full of action ( but with a storyline) and well written. I can’t wait to start on book 5 now.

Danny Pearson series
Action packed that makes want to keep reading. Being American, I don't always catch some of the English slang, but do enjoy the characters and the stories. Just finished book 4 and on to 5. Thank you for an entertaining read.

Good plot
Good plot, but the characters in this story are shallow. I don’t get to know Danny better after 4 books in this series.
