Summary
The new novel from the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award-winning author of A Loyal Spy.
ISIS can't control him.
MI6 can't find him.
But he's coming....
Things change quickly in the world of espionage and clandestine operations. Jude Lyon of MI6 remembers the captured terrorist bomb-maker. He watched him being flown off to Syria, back when Syria was 'friendly'. No one expected him to survive interrogation there.
Yet the man is alive, and someone has broken him out of jail.
Bad news for the former foreign secretary who authorised his rendition. And Jude's boss, Queen Bee, who knew he wasn't a terrorist at all but an innocent bystander. Now she calls Jude back from a dangerously enjoyable mission involving a Russian diplomat's wife.
He has a new job: close down this embarrassment. Fast.
But embarrassment is only the beginning. Someone is using the former prisoner to front a new and unspeakably terrifying campaign. Someone not even ISIS can control.
He is like a rumour, a myth, a whisper on the desert wind. But he is real, and he is coming for us....
He is the genius known only as...the Stranger.
From the corridors of Westminster to the refugee camps of Jordan, the back streets of East London to the badlands of Iraq, The Stranger is a nerve-shredding journey of suspense as Jude Lyon pieces together the shape of an implacable horror coming towards him - and a conspiracy of lies behind him.

Stranger indeed
While fictitious the individual character insights mirror so real life and the trauma that often set some on a path of destruction.
The interplay between the characters is tangible, indeed, at times visceral.
Excellent narration leaves the listener wanting to return or put another way continue listening.
A good read/listen well written.

The Stranger
I found the beginning through to halfway a little confusing and hard to follow. Not helped by the narrator because some voices were hard to establish who was talking. The second half was easier to follow and I began to enjoy it. Maybe I am out of touch with terminology,I was not aware of mobile phones being called “burners”
Overall it was enjoyable, but cannot rave about it or recommend especially to ladies, it is quite graphic and perhaps not suited to the Squeamish.

Loved this audiobook
Wow, fast paced, great performance by Jamie Parker, believable storyline, gripping last chapter. I will look for anything else Simon Conway has written.

Exceptional
This is by no means an easy read. Rivetting - l spent all Sunday rivited - but terrifying.
No more - apart from to tell you the pace does not slow down, there are enough twists to keep a ballroom full of 1960s teenagers filling the dance floors and l will be desolé not to meet some characters again.
Apart from that, the story is brilliant, the characters are really really real, and the Narration was one of the very few faultless l've heard on audible

So dull. Gave up halfway.
Quite a feat to render such a subject matter so very boring.
Not sure if it’s maybe down to the narration style or what, but I bailed on this halfway through once it became clear it wasn’t going to get better.
