Summary
 A relentlessly twisting and exciting novel, Deception Game is perfect for fans of James Phelan, Chris Ryan and Vince Flynn.

With enemies closing in, time is running out for Ryan Drake. Shaken by a personal tragedy that forces him to return to the UK, he is presented with a dangerous offer – to travel to Libya and kidnap a high-ranking officer in Gaddafi’s much-feared intelligence service. In exchange, Drake will be given everything he needs to destroy the CIA’s corrupt Deputy Director, Marcus Cain. Drake gathers a group of trusted allies and embarks on his most difficult mission yet. But with the desert heat blazing and a civil war looming, events soon spiral out of control. To finish the job and get the team out alive, Drake must unravel a web of deceptions and betrayals and confront the rise of a shadowy new group that threatens to change everything.

Not a bad story - the narrator continues to make the women sound a bit pathetic and the story sound almost wistful with his inflection though. The author needs to do a little more research into his material - a lot of mistakes regarding firearms show a distinct lack of understanding and basic research. Also a lot of repetitive frasing, each death seems to end with "and then he knew no more" to the point I was saying it with the narrator. Despite all this, I enjoyed the story and will listen to the next book.

I've been smashing through the Ryan Drake series and I am becoming less convinced of The Drinker's writing at times. I noticed that despite McKnight having to hot wire the car (because they didn't have a key) in a later scene he describes Drake starting the same car with a key. I feel like the editor or author should have picked up on this little bit of plot convenience. The bits describing the use of various bits of technology are a little off the mark too.

Ok, I guess
