(Part Two of this Present Tense Book Review.)
Many adventure novels sag a bit in the middle, but Sapper has kept up the pace up with a kidnap subplot and the introduction of a set of Drummond’s old army pals, who make the plot slightly more credible (i.e. it’s not just one man against an international crime syndicate), and add a bit of light relief with their banter. All the while, you are drip-fed hints as to the nature of the villains’ grand scheme, building up (hopefully) to a climactic finale.
