Story
From the central bank of El Salvador to a tantalum mine in Rwanda, the Acropolis Museum in Athens to the biggest freeport on the planet in Dubai, enter a world ruled by ones and zeroes and inhabited by people who don't believe in trust. Nathan Pike is one of those people. To some he's a digital Robin Hood. To others he's nothing but an amoral hacker. A codebreaking and encryption expert, he sells his skills to whoever can pay him what he wants or give him something he needs.

Solid Chris Ryan Thriller
Thoroughly enjoyed this book by Chris Ryan. The setting in a post-American Afghanistan was unique and painted a bleak picture of what the country has become. The lead character was well written and engaging to follow. Definitely one of Ryan’s more compelling characters of recent memory.
The only negative for me was the climactic sequence which felt completely out of place compared to the rest of the story; it basically went from a tight, human-centric thriller to an all out action movie. Without spoiling things, the ending and epilogue also fell a bit flat, with major plot points left unresolved - assuming it’ll lead into a sequel(?).
Narration was fantastic, great accents, tone and pacing.

Cracking good story, by far Chris's best and I've read them all. Love the way the main protagonist sounds exactly like he does in real life, with a Geordie accent. Narrator top notch.
