Really enjoyed the 3rd book in the fab shepherd series. Had me gripped from beginning to end.

These books about Spider are just such a good read. I haven't read them in order which doesn't actually that much
So ex SAS Dan "Spider" Shepherd is yet again on an undercover mission to sniff out some terrorists. Stephen Leather is the only author at the moment, that I have read any type of book like this. His writing is really easy and understandable, and doesn't go into too much crazy detail about stuff you don't understand.
The thing is, we know a lot about Shepherd's showering habits, drinking coffee and sleeping. This one is quite a long book, and I think a lot of pointless information can be cut out and cut down. Just give me the juicy parts and we can all move on. Still a really interesting read, I will be reading more

Finished another one of the quick thrillers. This one had a mostly better reader than the last one I listened to though I didn't care for the inflections he did sometimes in Dan's voice. The previous couple I listened to had stupid 1-2 second gaps between each paragraph... and that was at 1.5x speed. I'll look up that reader and avoid him where possible. I've now got the rest of the Spider series on my Kindle, so don't have to deal with bad readers, and i can read text much faster than I can listen to it, especially with the reader attempting multiple accents and genders.

The third in the Dan 'Spider' Shepherd series, and this one did not dissapoint. The books are well written and so gripping they are difficult to put down. As well as the action when Dan is out on the under cover operations, there are so many stories in the background, his young son and au pair, the work colleague complications..you really get involved with Dan's life and how he feels. Can't wait for the next book!
