"If you've ever wondered where CIA black ops personnel go when they get too old to kill an opponent in one deadly blow then this entertaining novel may provide some answers...the book is very cleverly thought out and while the reluctant hero that is Sam Flagg grows into his role we just cross our fingers that the three old men at the centre of the counter-plot do not succumb to their various infirmities before the conspiracy is defeated." - David Prestidge Crime Fiction Lover
