Written by a real-life James Bond, SENTINEL is the brand new espionage thriller in Matthew Dunn's gripping Spycatcher series.
'He has betrayed us and wants to go to war.'
That was the cryptic message received by the CIA from an agent operating deep undercover in Russia. Unable to make contact, the Director of Operations is forced to turn to one of his most deadly field officers: Will Cochrane. His mission: track down the agent and decode the message - or die trying.
Will successfully locates the agent, but finds him near death, his last words: 'Only Sentinel can stop him.' Now it's up to Will, with the help of the top-secret joint CIA-MI6 Spartan Section, to discover the identity of the legendary operative known only as Sentinel - before a new cold war erupts.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Dunn's solid second contemporary thriller featuring MI6 master spy Will Cochrane (after 2011's Spycatcher), Will (code name Spartan) teams with the only other MI6 spy on his level, the mysterious agent known as Sentinel, in an effort to kill Russian Taras Khmelnytsky (code name Razin), "a colonel and the head of Spetsnaz Alpha," who's been murdering Sentinel's 10 most valuable double agents in Central and Eastern Europe one-by-one. Razin is also training a unit to deliver small nuclear bombs to start a war with America with the ultimate goal of promoting his own political ambitions. Dunn, a former MI6 field officer, skillfully handles the usual spy business uncovering high-placed traitors, blowing the other guy up, fighting one-on-one, and crossing and double-crossing each other. He has also wisely scaled back the almost superhuman capabilities Will displayed in Spycatcher, matching him with a deadly adversary who's his equal, though some readers may feel Will has become too emotionally vulnerable.
