Yet again another belter!!
I've read all Stephen's books and they just keep getting better, this one though was the best so far. Ok perhaps a tad predictable that Danny more of less can take down an army of bad guys almost singlehandedly, but hey it makes fantastic entertaining reading and I'm looking forward to the next book, can't wait. Well done Stephen please don't let us wait too long. NO Sheffield

The Russians are coming
A good read, Danny finds himself in Russia at the mercy of the gangster family that he put out of business five years earlier, or so he thought.
With a genius plan to escape their clutches, a traitor in the camp and some local allies, can Danny stay one step ahead and neutralise the threat?
Or will the daughter of the Volkov family get her revenge?
Good plot, a few twists and plenty of action.

An excellent book following Dan Pearson as he tries to keep alive after being kidnapped and transported to Russia by a megalomaniac daughter of a Russian mafia chief he had killed five years earlier, throw in a traitorous defence minister and various gulf prisoners and you have an oft violent though exciting read. Well done Mr Tailor.

Good with errors
I'm a bit of a fan of the Danny Pearson series. However, I'm not sure they are edited or even proofread before being released. The number of mistakes is pretty high. Missing words and wrong words where we the reader has to guess what it's meant to say. It's a bit frustrating. Otherwise, a decent read.

Enjoyable
Liked the characters and fast pace. Local knowledge goes a long way when reading this type of book. I've enjoyed the previous Danny Pearson books and am looking forward to reading the rest.

kidnapping Danny
An old revenge, the daughter of a mafia boss Danny had killed 5 years before had organized a trap, it didn’t work, next was a kidnapping, Danny was fighting. Excellent book, thriller from the first to last page.

Best one so far
This is by far the best book in the franchise thus far. I was entertained from page 1. I keep seeing Pearson as a cross betweem Jack Reacher and James Bond.
