I personally think this is Chris Ryan's best piece of work regarding the Alpha series. Set in India it deals with loads of issues, not only the one everything seems to be about. Of course quite a high percentage covers the problem of organ trading, but it's also about inequality, differences between "untouchables" and rich people, people living in the city or on the outskirts, education, corruption and natural hardships.
Having lived in Sri Lanka for a few months, I recognised many of these aspects, as I got to meet them face to face everyday.
So for me, this book wasn't only about a bunch of kids having an adventurous trip or something. It went beyond that. It took me back to the time I spend there, and got me thinking again, about all that injustice and all these problems and I think that's what really mattered at the end. That you take something, anything, from any book, and not just read it and put it aside.

A fast read that shows you how life can be so different for others when there are child marriages and dowries.
(Still a huge fan of Hex and Amber and wish she was the one that stayed behind with him instead of Li….or else I wish he answered her question about Amber 😩)

A nice 7th book about amazing adventures. A nice book for those wanting to learn the other side of India and where the adventures of the group begin. Read it to unravel the delicate story behind and be waiting for the plot twist.

not a bad book. it is only different from other thriller books I read. as it said in the book, it is a street servailence style. the impressive thing is that the author was himself an ex-SAS agent.

Bit dull
It isn't very adventurey and can get her boring in parts. Tbh I would just search up the summary of the book rather than waste money on it.
