Shadow State by Andy McNab

Posted

Shadow State is the first book with Nathan Pike as the lead character. Pike is a cryptography and cyber weapons specialist for hire, balancing the fine line between what's right and wrong. I have alway enjoyed McNab's books so when this one popped up in the lists on Netgalley, I immediately downloaded it. 

McNab brings the modern world of crypto currencies and computer experts to the war between good and bad; and to wars without military weapons between countries and financial corporations. In a world where governments are no longer in full control, crypto is king. Also, to win, you no longer need muscles or traditional weapons, but instead a brain and a PADD (I'd love one of those!).

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and especially the long term game played by Pike; bring on the next one!

Thank you to Welbeck Publishing and Netgalley for providing me with a digital review copy. 

Shadow State will be released on January 5 and can be pre-ordered now via your usual sources.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
