Thriller
The world of the Intelligence Service is full of myths and legends. One of
the most enduring is that when you've been betrayed, your cover blown and
you are disowned by the powers that be, there is one last chance to save
your life. A place, person or people known only as CONTACT ZERO. It's
whispered about in the intelligence community but no one really believes
in its existence. Except when you have been betrayed, your cover blown,
and it looks like you won't live much longer. It's safer for everyone if
you're dead.
When the latest batch of MI6 graduates start being killed off in the
field, the few who have managed to escape by the skin of their teeth have
no option but to attempt to find CONTACT ZERO . Welcome to the Byzantine
world of spooks and spies where nothing is what is seems and no one can be
trusted.
David Wolstencroft is the creator of the very successful tv series
"Spooks" (telecast in North America under the name of "MI5"). His second
book, CONTACT ZERO, is in a similar vein to the tv series. The plot is an
exciting roller-coaster ride through three continents with so many twists
and turns it will make your head spin. It's impossible to tell the good
guys from the bad ones. Trust no one. Trust nothing. At the end you will
find CONTACT ZERO and safety. Or will you?
