About this listen

Three a.m. on a frozen winter’s night, only hours after the results of the general election. A small craft skims the Thames, closing in on London’s most exclusive new riverside hotel. Onboard is a lone assassin, his target - Britain’s most powerful new politician.

In a nation threatened by extremist jihadis and torn apart by civil unrest, Vernon Rolt has just been catapulted into government on an extreme antiterror platform. Rolt’s plans for a zero-tolerance crackdown on ethnic violence has touched a popular nerve. But his move into politics has made him some unlikely enemies - British ex-servicemen, once his most committed supporters who now want him dead.

Ex-SAS trooper turned MI5 operative Tom Buckingham is undercover inside Rolt’s organisation. His mission: to neutralise the rogue assassins for whom he also has become a target and to discover the deadly intentions of Rolt’s new financier, shadowy Crimean oligarch Oleg Umarov. But all too soon, Tom gets caught up in a far more devastating plot which will change the political landscape of Europe - forever....

Editorial reviews

This is the explosive new action thriller audiobook State of Emergency, written by author and decorated former Special Air Service Sergeant Andy McNab with an expert narration by actor Colin Buchanan. A new Prime Minister has been elected, promising to eradicate Europe from the encircling clutches of terrorist activity. He knows his election to power has brought him enemies but he doesn’t realise his biggest mission yet will be just to stay alive. The chilling reality of a modern world gripped in fear of terrorism is captured brilliantly in this audio. Available now from Audible.

Took a while to get into the story and find out who was who and what was happening. Found it’s pace about half way through and ended being a good story.

Slow start, but soon got going.
