In Angola the largest tank battle since the second world war is taking place. South African troops are battling to preserve apartheid. Thomas Dylan is sent to the front line. Ministers want MI6 to provide support, but discreetly. But death is soon much closer to home. After thirty years in British Intelligence Adam Joseff has retired to his stamp collection. His loyalty is beyond question. Until he is murdered in the Caribbean. Then the questions start. Has Joseff betrayed his country Or has he been betrayed And why was he so interested in an Angolan student young enough to be his granddaughter As the Dylans start pulling the clues together they must confront death, betrayal and their own conscience. Then the politicians take over.
"Authentic and gripping--unmissable." --Peter Oborne
"Very impressive." --James Hamilton-Paterson, author, Marked for Death
Brian Landers started writing newspaper columns to help pay his university bar bills and since then has written articles for various journals, newspapers and websites. He was once interviewed for a job at the government spy agency GCHQ in Cheltenham but decided that travelling the world would be more exciting. His first full time role was helping a former Director General of Defence Intelligence and a motley collection of ex-spooks set up a political intelligence unit in the City of London. Out of this sprang the character of Thomas Dylan, a novice who over the years progresses through the labyrinthine world of British Intelligence. Later, as a director of Waterstone's and then of Penguin his love of writing was rekindled. His first book, Empires Apart was published in the UK, US and India and was largely written while commuting to work. He has an MBA from London Business School and in 2018 he was awarded an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.
