Jeff, his business partner has a heavy cold and isn't fit for human company and Tuesday has gone home to Jamaica to see his family. This is book twenty-six in the series and Ben is now a more mature and thoughtful character than he was at the beginning, but he’s still the one you’d want fighting your corner. I was getting right into this tale of derring do and excited to visit with Ben Hope when the story just imploded with THE most excruciatingly embarrassing plot twist . The tight knit group that joins Ben on his rescue of originally Madison and then the teacher and kids have a good background to the story . I felt however that the book slumped a bit in the middle with a rather overlong description of Alexander the Great’s Afghan campaign.The plot is filled with hard-hitting and edge-of-the-seat action that is both scary and unpredictable and can grab you by the throat.

When I started this 26th book in Ben Hope series, I felt that the author should conclude this series and give our beloved protagonist some happy ending, which he deserves for long. Apart from the utter crassness of the character choice, the book ended with a “with one bound he was free” moment.If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our site, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

I hope these days there will come a woman to stick and accept him for who he is and be there for him. It was nice to see Ben Hope back in a military role with comrades rather than being a one man force as he usually is.The mission will take Ben back to a place he thought was firmly in his past – and back to old comrades. Their mission is to rescue a group of 40 children from an orphanage along with their matrons and priest, who have been bravely protecting the kids from falling into the hands of the ruthless Taliban soldiers. An ancient lost city founded by Alexander the Great, rediscovered by Madison’s archaeologist father. Sure the Taliban will destroy anything they find themselves, Hope and his comrades begin helping Madison retrieve anything they can To get it out of Afghanistan. With no rules and few friends, Hope will have to tap into all his skills while staying as quiet as possible if he hopes to leave the country alive,.

I was initially sceptical and worried this may turn into another ‘Star of Africa’ or ‘Devil’s Kingdom’ which I have enjoyed the least in the series.
