Críticas:

Like le Carre and Fleming before him, Dunn is the real thing...His, though, is a more muscular creation that Smiley, or even Bond. Meet Will Cochrane, a one-man weapon of mass destruction DAILY TELEGRAPH An intelligent and entertaining summer read...solid and authentic FINANCIAL TIMES I know of no other spy thriller that so successfully blends the fascinating nuances of the business of espionage and intelligence work with full-throttle suspense storytelling Jeffrey Deaver Author Dunn has perfected the literary equivalent of the type of action movie that might star Stallone, Steven Seagal or the Rock IRISH INDEPENDENT A terrific thriller with a superb new hero...Bond and Bourne can take a back seat Matt Hilton

Biografía del autor:

Matthew Dunn spent five years in the British Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, as a field operative. His role required him to recruit and run agents, coordinate and participate in special operations, and to operate in deep-cover roles throughout the world in order to collect secret intelligence to support the West's ongoing fight against hostile and unpredictable regimes, state-sponsored terrorism, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. His missions required him to travel extensively and typically he operated in highly hostile environments where, if compromised and captured, he would have been executed. Matthew was trained in all aspects of intelligence collection and direct action, including agent running and debriefing, deep-cover deployments, small-arms, explosives, military unarmed combat, surveillance, anti-surveillance, counter-surveillance, advanced driving, infiltration and exfiltration techniques, and covert communications. His skills were widely deployed by him in the field. Matthew typically worked alone but he also had significant experience of working with highly-specialised units of the British SAS and SBS as well as joint-operations with MI5, GCHQ, and strategic allies. Medals are never awarded to modern MI6 officers, but Dunn was the recipient of a very rare personal commendation from the secretary of state for foreign and commonwealth affairs for work he did on one mission, which was deemed so significant that it directly influenced the successful conclusion of a major international incident. During his time in MI6, Dunn conducted approximately seventy missions. All of them were successful. He lives in England. Find out more at www.matthewdunnbooks.com
