He's not your average spy material, but MI-6 knew a good thing when they saw it, and now Conor McBride is never out of trouble.
He's a man who’s lost everything, betrayed by the person he trusted most. Now he’s got a job he never asked for, deadly skills he never wanted to learn, and a past he wants to escape. But no matter how far he runs, trouble has a way of finding Conor McBride, and from one adventure to the next, he often finds he’s not the only one keeping secrets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant combination of subtle poetic language and high tension and excitement!
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2018

I read the first book for free, and immediately bought the boxed set, and am so glad that I did! I love Guare's writing style: her skilful use of language in both character development and description, and the combination of time spent getting to know the characters with twisty and fast-paced plots. I love that there are no descriptions of gratuitous violence or steamy sex, even though it is clear that they exist as part of the plot. That, for me, is a triumph of subtle story telling. I also appreciate the balance Guare maintains, making us aware of the distress and difficult emotions of the heroes at various stages, without becoming bogged down in misery and introspection. Overall, these books are entertaining, satisfying and a great read. Highly recommended. I will definitely reread them.

The musical background to this series is very interesting, and makes it so different. They also cover a lot of different countries which are well described. Characters are strong and story lines gripping and exciting, you find yourself reading well into the night to see how they will escape from some dire situation! Each story stands alone, but nice to have follow on stories to flesh out the characters even more. Recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good series
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019

When I first began reading this series, I was not really sure I was going to stick with them and/or enjoy them. Once I got into the first book, however, I found them to be very well written and I was hooked. They included enough intrigue and good pacing to keep me glued to them until the end. When I realized I was finished with the final book I was a bit sad to go on to something else. If you like spies, a reluctant MI6 agent and international intrigue you are going to enjoy this series and I would highly recommend them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed these books a lot!
Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018

I enjoyed these books a lot! The first book opens with a confusing scene, but just hang on and continue reading and it will all become clear. Good character development through the three books and enough twist and turns to keep one guessing as to the eventual outcome. The forced recruiting of the main character may be a little out there but if you just go with it and continue the read I believe you will enjoy it as I did. It appears there is a sort of prequel to the series I want to read. There is room for the author write additional stories if desired, the thread is set up in the books as unfinished business.

I've managed to make it through 23 chapters of this trilogy but have decided to pack it in adventure the book set to my library. Although there were interesting segments the beginning of the book when Connor was taking care of some of the initial miscreants, the pursuit of his brother, Thomas, in India seemed to bog down. It became, to me, long on details, and short on substance and action.

4.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative brushstrokes create a compelling canvas, filled with color, intrigue, romance, and more!
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2019

I'm too much of a bibliophile to give 5 stars to anything contemporary. The mark of truly exceptional literature is it's timeless appeal, IMHO. That said, I just finished the first two books in this trilogy and find myself enormously impressed by three very crucial characteristics in these works:
1. The locations, cultures, languages, and other atmospheric elements have been assiduously researched. Knowing nothing of the author's personal life, I cannot nor wish to assert whether the knowledge was gained through first hand experience or academic study. It doesn't matter, because
2. The narrative tone is intelligent and imaginative. Some turns of phrase or imagery are unmistakably poetic, without becoming trite or overwrought. Descriptions enrich the landscape of the tale, without rendering them garish or fussy. The author has used her knowledge of place, time, and tone to bring to life moments of real impact.
3. Each character comes to life in a way that betrays a deep sense of commitment on the author's part. It is all too easy to let a character "take over", and a story then becomes dominated by a single identity, just as it can be tempting for a writer to almost lazily imprison their characters within the limited confines of the author's singular voice. To walk the narrow path between the two is to give the reader a rare perspective and a most rewarding view of a unique environment: a fully realized storyworld.
I look forward to reading further works by Ms. Guare!

An excellent trilogy of books. A little sugary at the close of the 3rd book but the twists and spills leading up got the final scenes were excellent.
All 3 volumes are packed with adventure and the writing style leads you through with baited breath. The true to life unravelling of the plans from the first step to the last is heightened by the deepening plot twists that take you in completely unexpected directions.
