Officially, Max McLean doesn't exist. The British government denies all knowledge of the work he does on their behalf to keep us safe. But Max and his masters are losing faith in each other. And they've given him one last chance to prove he's still their man.
Sent to a military research facility to meet a former comrade-in-arms, Max finds the bravest man he ever knew locked up for his own protection. His friend lost his mind during an operation in West Africa. The reason? Absolute mortal terror.
Max is determined to find out why.
Ahead lies a perilous, breathtaking mission into the unknown that will call into question everything that Max once believed in.
Acting alone, without back-up, Max lands in Sierra Leone with his friend's last words ringing in his ears: 'They're coming, Max. They're coming . . .'
The Break Line is a debut dripping with authenticity and menace. Smart, unputdownable and packed with irresistible set pieces and jaw-dropping plot twists, this is a thriller like no other.
‘The Break Line‘ is a fast pacing military thriller full with action thriller sci-fy. Can’t tell a lot about the story without spoilers, but it’s gripping and full of almost visual action.
Some descriptions are very detailed and gruesome, I can understand why some people do not like this book that much over this, but overall very well written and entertaining. Step away if you like romance novels but do read if you like fast paced action thrillers!
