The Saboteur: a Financial Times Best Thriller of 2021 de Simon Conway

The Saboteur: a Financial Times Best Thriller of 2021: Jude Lyon

Autor Simon Conway
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 aug 2021

Găsim în această carte o structură narativă fragmentată, care pulsează de urgență. Perspectivele se succed rapid: un spion MI6 prins într-o ambuscadă în Siria, un asasinat misterios în Londra și un politician care încearcă să-și ascundă secretele în timp ce țara arde. Timpul curge împotriva personajelor. Un plan rusesc devastator a fost deja activat. Este imposibil de oprit. Reținem aici amprenta militară a lui Simon Conway. Autorul nu menajează cititorul. Scenele de acțiune sunt crude, iar scenariul apocaliptic devine terifiant de plauzibil. Credem că The Saboteur reprezintă un punct de maturitate în opera autorului. Dacă în Damaged miza era una personală și localizată, aici Simon Conway extinde conflictul la nivel geopolitic global, păstrând însă aceeași tensiune viscerală care l-a consacrat. Imaginați-vă tensiunea din The Geneva Trap, mutată într-un decor de haos urban britanic unde inamicul nu este doar un stat străin, ci un geniu psihopat scăpat de sub control. Ritmul este sufocant. Capitolele scurte forțează o lectură rapidă, reflectând cursa contra-cronometru a lui Jude Lyon. Tonul este sobru, lipsit de artificii inutile, concentrat pe detaliile tehnice ale spionajului modern. Este o viziune sumbră asupra vulnerabilității unei națiuni în fața sabotajului cibernetic și fizic.

Descriere

A stunning, apocalyptic standalone sequel to The Stranger.

'There's a healthy crop of younger spy writers just now, and Simon Conway is among the pick of the bunch. His military background renders the action scenes bloodily and the novel's apocalyptic scenario all too plausibly . . . Fire in the hole' - The Times

'This'll keep readers up all night. It's a hugely entertaining read, featuring the nastiest, most charismatic villain of recent years, and barely pauses for breath throughout' - Mick Herron, author of Slough House

'A superb writer, with great imagination, inventiveness and the ability to portray events with simplicity and urgency' - Michael Jecks, author of Act of Vengeance

'Conway has created, with Jude Lyon, a very modern hero, and one who will run for many more stories, I hope. Basically, if you are going to read any thriller this year, make it this one' - Shots Magazine

'The most brilliant spy thriller' - Charlotte Philby, author of A Double Life

The terrorist Guy Fowle has escaped from prison.

Jude Lyon of MI-6 has been saved from a Syrian ambush by his lover - and enemy? - Julia Ermolaeva.

A mysterious Russian has been murdered in London and his thumb cut off.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has made an unfortunate social connection at a party, which he hopes he can keep secret.

And suddenly, the world is literally going up in flames.

Jude needs to start putting together the pieces of this jigsaw and quickly, because someone is putting into play a terrifying Russian plan to disable and destroy the UK. Once it has begun, it is designed to be impossible to stop.

Bad enough if that someone is the Russian government. Worse if it is the psychopathic genius Fowle, otherwise known as The Stranger.

Packed with stunning action, political intrigue, authentic tradecraft, emotion, shocks and nail-biting suspense, The Saboteur takes the spy thriller to new heights.
