About this audiobook
When Will Cochrane encounters a Russian spymaster codenamed Antaeus, who everyone believes is dead, he is thrust into a deadly game set in motion by powerful players deep inside the intelligence community. His orders from Langley are clear: ANTAEUS MUST NOT BE TOUCHED. FURTHER INQUIRIES REQUIRE PROJECT FERRYMAN CLEARANCE. But Will decides to take his own shot at the spymaster, knowing it will make him a marked man. Now, the only way to save his career - and his life - is to get into the U.S. and expose the truth about Project Ferryman. But to accomplish that he's got to outmaneuver deadly Russian assassins and an elite FBI team controlled by shadowy officials who will stop at nothing to keep their sins and secrets safe.
Matthew Dunn
As an MI6 field officer, Matthew Dunn recruited and ran agents, coordinated and participated in special operations, and acted in deep-cover roles throughout the world. He operated in environments where, if captured, he would have been executed. Dunn was trained in all aspects of intelligence collection, deep- cover deployments, small arms, explosives, military unarmed combat, surveillance, and infiltration. Medals are never awarded to modern MI6 officers, but Dunn was the recipient of a rare personal commendation from the secretary of state for work he did on one mission, which was deemed so significant that it directly influenced the success of a major international incident. During his time in MI6, Matthew conducted approximately seventy missions. All of them were successful. He currently lives in England, where he is at work on his next novel.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dark Spies (A Spycatcher Novel)By: Mathew Dunn Pages 373.Publisher: Harper Collins October 2014Copy Courtesy of Goodreads First Read Reviewed by: tkMathew Dunn is the master of spy thrillers.Will Cochrane is a MI6 operative and his world is about to fall apart. He has become a traitor to the CIA, FBI, and others. On the run, surviving the elements from one country to the next, and no one to trust, he must prove his innocence. Will has no concerns for his own life. He only wants to survive long enough to make the people responsible pay for their indiscretions and betrayal with the ultimate justice delivered by his own hand.I will not be able to do this book justice. Absolute entertainment is a small beginning. Will Cochrane is an outstanding dominate character. Along with the other members and their secrets, and betrayals has left me in complete amazement. The story moves at an incredible pace. Inside this brilliant story is sneaky, underhanded betrayal, romance, intrigue, and murder. The writing flows so smoothly that you will not be able to put it down. Emotions run on high the entire time. Unending suspense will have you on the edge of your seat the entire time. An Extraordinary read. A must have addition to your library. Highly recommended 5/5.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the fourth in the Will Cochrane spy series and as thrilling as the previous stories. Cochrane is part of a mission that fails and becomes wanted himself and he has to keep himself alive long enough to find out what the hell is going on. The author, a former MI6 field officer, uses his experiences to produce a very fast paced exciting thriller. If you are looking for an exhilarating read and not concerned about realistic situations, this is one to do it. I do suggest reading the others in the series so you know who the characters are though.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Will Cochrane is back and on another mission when something goes very wrong. As he flees from multiple government agencies and governments he races to find out the truth. Dunn writes in such a way that you want everybody to succeed, Will, his pursuers, his friends, and even the enemy, and not to say too much, they pretty much all do. It’s a great pulse pounding read that will leave you at the edge of your seat.Free review copy.
