Synopsis

Introducing professional watcher and deep cover specialist Marc Portman in the first of this stunning new series

He's a professional shadow. A watcher who provides protection in potentially hostile situations. He works in the background, stays off the record. Often the people he's guarding have no idea he's there. Some people know him as Portman.

When two British intelligence agents are despatched to negotiate the release of a group of western hostages in Somalia, veteran MI6 operator Tom Vane realizes that something about this operation doesn't stack up. Unwilling to see two promising officers sacrificed in what he believes to be a suicide mission, he covertly hires deep cover specialist Marc Portman to protect them.

Heading for the wild and lawless land on the Kenyan/Somali border, Portman soon realizes that the British Intelligence Services have been double-crossed. Can he survive long enough to keep his charges alive and prevent a catastrophe?

About this title

Review:

"Distant, magnetic, determined and deadly - words to describe Adrian Magson's new lead Marc Portman. Insanely atmospheric... the kind of book you can't put down. I can't wait for his next adventure. Bravo!"
Milorambles Reviews

"Give this man a Bond film script to play with! Contains some of the most explosive opening chapters I've read in a long time. ...a nail-biting story... Magson knows how to play with his readers' emotions."
Crime Fiction Lover

"The action starts on page one and never lets up. Marc Portman is a sort of 21st century self-employed James Bond. Highly recommended."
