Review:

For the very first time an MI5 undercover surveillance officer provides an unputdownable, eye-opening account of the on-going struggle to keep Britain's streets safe and terror free. (from the publisher's description)

Gripping. One of the most successful MI5 undercover surveillance officers of his time (Sun)

Very well written, gives a startling amount of operational detail, the biggest shock of all - MI5 agreed to its publication (Sunday Times)

From the Back Cover:

In the boot were six homemade pipe bombs, all linked to detonate at the same time from a single call on a brand-new pay-as-you-go phone found on the target.

Special Branch also found Chinese Type 56 assault rifles with eight full magazines full of ammunition.

His target was a local school. He planned to attack two coaches of teenagers returning home after a school trip to Frances. Approximately sixty children, their accompanying teachers and their waiting parents.

He was going to kill them all.
