The Foot Soldiers by Gerald Seymour
The first-ever returning central character in Seymour's storied career - Jonas Merrick, MI5's grumpy old man from The Crocodile Hunter, must find a mole in MI6 and thwart a Russian assassination.
A cleverly nuanced climax in which tables are unexpectedly turned more than once. . marks this as a novel of real quality. Top brass * The Times *
Seymour's finger is always on the current socio-political pulse, and the new book is a welcome return for his curmudgeonly MI5 man Jonas Merrick * i news *
This is multi-layered spy-fi at its best, with Seymour showing that even after thirty-seven novels he has lost none of his talent for thrilling plots and creating credible and sympathetic characters, nor his journalist's eye for modern espionage tradecraft and techniques * Shots Magazine *
Supreme spy writer * Peterborough Telegraph *
If le Carré had written about spies on the front line . . . Seymour makes more than le Carré of treachery's potential impact on frontline personnel. [A] masterly novel * The Sunday Times *
There are strong echoes of George Smiley in Merrick's mild and unprepossessing manner, which disguises a razor-sharp brain and considerable courage when necessary * Financial Times *
He has never lost his journalist's eye for the stories behind the news * The Sunday Times on The Crocodile Hunter *
Compelling novel . . . Seymour's feel for the Kent landscape and his realisation of minor characters, such as Cameron's heart-hardened mother, are almost Dickensian * The Times on The Crocodile Hunter *
Ask aficionados who is Britain's finest thriller writer, and many would answer the veteran Gerald Seymour * Guardian on Beyond Recall *
The three British masters of suspense, Graham Greene, Eric Ambler, and John le Carre, have been joined by a fourth - Gerald Seymour * New York Times on The Outsiders *
Seymour produces the most intelligent writing in the thriller genre * Financial Times on Beyond Recall *
Britain's finest thriller novelist is still the veteran Gerald Seymour, whose touch remains sure * i Paper on A Damned Serious Business *
