Hot Blood (The Spider Shepherd Thrillers Book 4) by Stephen Leather (Epub)

Description

Now working for the Serious Organised Crime Agency, Shepherd is pitting his wits against the toughest criminals in the country. But when the man who once saved his life is kidnapped in the badlands of Iraq, thrown into a basement and threatened with execution, Shepherd has to decide whether his loyalties lie with his country, his career, or his friend.

Shepherd and his former SAS colleagues realise that the hostage has been abandoned by the Government and that officially nothing is being done to rescue him. And with the execution deadline only days away, Shepherd knows that the only way to stop his friend being murdered is to put himself in the firing line in the most dangerous city in the world – Baghdad.

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ Shepherd is an odd protagonist for a thriller, being a single dad beset by doubts about what he is called to do. Thankfully, he always finds a way to put the whinging aside when it is time to bring the pain. I have learned to just click past the throatclearing about morality and get to the action, which is the type of writing where Leather excels. It did grate on me that a U.S. Marine Captain called the medical personnel in his unit as “medic.” Medical personnel in Marine units are Corpsmen.

⭐ Another excellent installment of the Shepherd series: this one deals with themes of kidnapping/retaliation & revenge, and there is a lot of moral ambiguities in it (thalion law is there, one eye for one eye, etc). It is very fast pace, violent, and actually thought provoking. In an analogy to Star Wars, Shepherd is here drawn to the very dark side, and this is here one of his most dangerous (or should I say suicidal) mission. Without disclosing too much, the character of Yokely gains greater importance.

⭐ Great story, realistic and maintains the thrill levels to the very end. The characters are well developed and Spider has just the right level of conflicted good guy bad guy going on.

⭐ Excellent

⭐ Read the “Spider” series in order — it will help you understand Shepherd more fully. Leather has written for British TV and you can imagine this series on PBS. Great realistic plots and characters (even the criminals) that have well-rounded personalities.

⭐ Love these books.Not paying the price for the next one though (I have read all the previous ones). Not fair charging Kindle (or other Ebook readers) that kind of money for digital content you can’t share.

⭐ A great book yet again. Awesome story line with twists and turns again and again. Such a wonderful ending too.

⭐ My Dad recommended these books to me. I started with the first in the series and it was decent. By this, the fourth in the Spider Shepherd series, Leather seems to have hit his stride.Thoroughly enjoyable book.

⭐ Stephen Leather’s fourth Spider Sheperd thriller and, as always, a joy to read. I loved this book and look forward to lots more from this author, who definitely has the knack of creating of making his books un-put-downable!

⭐ Lots of intense action and a good story. Stephen leather still need to get a better proof reader to find all the spelling mistakes.
