Drumbeat: A Ben Drummond Military Thriller

by Tomas Black

A mountain fortress hides a deadly secret only one man can decode Drones have been disappearing over Helmand Province, and no one knows why. Then a communications array is photographed, deep in the mountains, in an area controlled by insurgents. A crack troop of the SAS are quickly dispatched to the region. They need a mission specialist—someone with the skills and experience to make sense of the array and to determine if it’s linked to the disappearance of the drones. Captain Ben Drummond is the mission specialist and is designated ‘the package’. The sole task of the troop is to infiltrate the region and deliver the package; the sole task of the package is to retrieve the information and return it to London. The SAS are confident they can get the man in; but getting him out … If you like Jack Reacher you’ll be captivated by Ben Drummond, a man more determined than Bourne.

I read this second after omega and was not disappointed. It def connected the characters a bit better for me & added to the omega storyline. I m really thrilled with the writers ability to give life to these characters and make the story seamless. I am thoroughly taken with Ben Drummond & team. Can’t wait til the next book unfolds. This is a No Miss Read!

This book starts off with a bang (no pun intended) and just keeps going. One of the best thrillers I’ve read this year. Highly recommended.

Gripping storyline

Another winner from the author telling the story about Ben Drummond and his team and their exploits in Afghanistan which leads on to the next book in the series and explains why the characters came together.
The author has brought to life the professionalism and dedication that members of our armed forces both serving and former bring to the world in which we live now and also their willingness to do what it takes to preserve our country and its people from those who wish us harm.
