About this title

Review:

‘Flying, spying and dying – Night Trap is the real straight Navy stuff. Better strap yourself to the chair for this one. I loved it.’ STEPHEN COONTS

‘Gordon Kent knows his subject at first hand and the expertise shows on the page: high stakes, pounding tension and the best dogfights put on paper. A lot of thrillers these days, you come away feeling like you’ve been in a simulator. In Night Trap, Gordon Kent straps you into the real thing. Enjoy the ride!’ IAN RANKIN

‘Craik is on the trail of shipboard espionage. His quest ultimately engulfs him, the CIA, Navy aircraft, Russian intelligence... and Marine combat troops in a blazing shootout. This is a can’t-put-down book.’
