Publisher Description
A pulse-racing spy thriller by Andrew Grant, now the co-author of the Jack Reacher novels as Andrew Child.
Even cooler than Bond and more deadly than Bourne.
In his gritty, action-packed debut, Even, Andrew Grant introduced readers to David Trevellyan, a James Bond for the twenty-first century. Trevellyan returns in Die Twice, a fast-paced, modern thriller fuelled by adrenaline and revenge.
Obliged to leave New York City in the aftermath of his previous mission, David Trevellyan is summoned to the British Consulate in Chicago. To the same office where, just a week before, his new handler was attacked and shot by a Royal Navy Intelligence operative gone bad.
Assigned the task of finding the rogue agent, and putting an end to his treacherous scheme, Trevellyan soon finds that once again his only hope of saving countless innocent lives lies not within the system, but in his instinctive belief – you’re bound to do what’s right, whatever the personal cost may be.
‘Modern noir at its best . . . featuring a compelling tough guy hero’ – Jeffery Deaver on Even
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Lt. Cdr. David Trevellyan continues to operate on U.S. soil in Grant's testosterone-fueled second adventure to feature the British naval intelligence officer (after Even). After leaving behind seven dead bodies in New York City, Trevellyan reports to veteran liaison officer Richard Fothergill in Chicago, where a rogue British operative, Tony McIntyre, is planning to sell a secret and deadly gas to the tiny West African nation of Equatorial Myene. With Fothergill providing intel, Trevellyan attempts to locate McIntyre with orders to effect a hard arrest, i.e., kill him, and to recover the gas canisters from either McIntyre or the Africans. The stakes rise as more than one bidder has his sights set on the gas, and Trevellyan and Fothergill have only each other to rely on. Trevellyan is macho enough and deadly enough to satisfy the most jaded thriller fan, though he's slower than most readers will be to figure out what's going on.
Customer Reviews
Very poor
Easily the worst book I’ve read in memory. Poorly researched, poorly planned, and often cheap and tacky.
Grant needs far more reality and structure, and ideally a little less laziness.
