Absolutely loved this novel against all my expectations of Ant Middleton and the genre。 Well paced， well written， authentic characters， and women with more than two dimensions。 Mallory is a great， flawed character and I thoroughly enjoyed a trip around the globe with him， from Birmingham to Johannesburg to Louisiana in his mission to seek redress for a mission which ended in the death of his colleagues。 Look forward to the next one！

I absolutely loved this thrilling book。 Fast paced and gripping， the story sucks you in and doesn’t let go。 I really enjoyed Ant’s writing style and could easily see this being adapted for the big screen。 The main character， Mallory， was brilliant and I’m hoping there will be more books featuring Mallory soon。 I was lucky enough to be able to read Cold Justice via The Pigeonhole App， a stave a day over 11 days， and I couldn’t wait for each instalment to arrive so I could devour it。 I can highly I absolutely loved this thrilling book。 Fast paced and gripping， the story sucks you in and doesn’t let go。 I really enjoyed Ant’s writing style and could easily see this being adapted for the big screen。 The main character， Mallory， was brilliant and I’m hoping there will be more books featuring Mallory soon。 I was lucky enough to be able to read Cold Justice via The Pigeonhole App， a stave a day over 11 days， and I couldn’t wait for each instalment to arrive so I could devour it。 I can highly recommend this excellent book。 。。。more

Ex-special forces hero Mallory is a decent guy， he's damaged and drifting until he finds a purpose when his former self re-emerges and he uses his finely honed skills to hunt down and take on a few baddies。Cold Justice has bestseller written all over it。 Hard fast action that moves along at a good pace， a couple of twists thrown in for good measure and an ending that leaves the reader wanting to know what happens next。 I haven't read anywhere that this is the first in a series but the twist at t Ex-special forces hero Mallory is a decent guy， he's damaged and drifting until he finds a purpose when his former self re-emerges and he uses his finely honed skills to hunt down and take on a few baddies。Cold Justice has bestseller written all over it。 Hard fast action that moves along at a good pace， a couple of twists thrown in for good measure and an ending that leaves the reader wanting to know what happens next。 I haven't read anywhere that this is the first in a series but the twist at the end says it is。If you like popular action fiction that moves along at a good pace and doesn't require too much thought， you'll like this。 Mallory is a character that was created to satisfy the masses and I must be going soft， I quite liked him。I found Mallory an interesting character but the popular action fiction genre has a lot of interesting and likeable leading men by better and more established authors， I look forward to seeing how he shapes up in the future。 My thanks to Little， Brown Book Group UK for the advance copy for review purposes， I was under no obligation and all opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

Very much in the Andy MacNab mould but infinitely more sophisticated。 It features an ex-special forces central character who carries a monkey on his back because of the moment of indecision that led to the deaths of his comrades。 The plotting is well thought out and entirely plausible and the afterword suggests that this book is the first of a series。 The prose is simple， pared back and functional。 I will look out for any sequels。

Chris Ryan， Andy McNab， Bear Grylls， are the most recognisable former SAS who've turned fiction writers。 Joining them is Ant Middleton best known for channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins。 SYNOPSIS: Mallory， a former member of the special forces， is burnt out。 After a mission to grab a High Value Target （hvt） goes wrong， Mallory consumed by guilt， is drifting through life with no purpose。 He spends his time visiting a brother in arms who was injured in the aforementioned mission。 While visiting at the Chris Ryan， Andy McNab， Bear Grylls， are the most recognisable former SAS who've turned fiction writers。 Joining them is Ant Middleton best known for channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins。 SYNOPSIS: Mallory， a former member of the special forces， is burnt out。 After a mission to grab a High Value Target （hvt） goes wrong， Mallory consumed by guilt， is drifting through life with no purpose。 He spends his time visiting a brother in arms who was injured in the aforementioned mission。 While visiting at the hospital， Mallory is approached by the fellow soldiers mother。 She wants Mallory to find her other son who has gone missing in South Africa。 Can Mallory find redemption， a new purpose， were he will need every ounce of training， to rescue his friends brother， and get out alive。REVIEW: From the start your thrown into Mallory's life of guilt。 You feel for this broken man， who is bearing an unbearable guilt that he has no way of unloading， although a quick punch up in the local bar， helps a little。 You understand why， although reluctantly， he agrees to try an find his friends brother。 Redemption， purpose， a release of guilt and anger are the main motivations for bullish approach to the task in hand。 Throw in a kidnapping， gun fights， a chase through alligator territory and a final showdown， this a thrill ride from beginning to end。 And the ending sets up a twist that will no doubt be the main storyline for the next book。 But there's just something missing。 It's not quite there， the elusive element that doesn't make me fully invested into the story。 You take Lee Childs character， Jack Reacher， and straight away， you are Reacher， every punch， kick or headbutt dished out， your the one doing it and feeling it。 I just don't get that feeling with Mallory。 I'm looking on from a distance， not there in the middle of it。 It's probably unfair to compare Lee Child， he's had years and many books to get Reacher that way。 I truly hope Middleton can discover that element for his character。 It's about time that we have a UK version of Reacher， Mallory can be， I want him to be， hopefully we get that as the character grows in the next book。 I truly wish Middleton all the good fortune he deserves， to make it happen。VERDICT: 3。5***/5 My star rating doesn't reflect badly on what is a brilliant thrill ride of a read， for me there's something just missing， it's not quite on the centre of the target。 That said however， I will be coming back for more， to see if Mallory’s character grows into series that My thanks to NetGalley and Little， Brown Book Group UK 。。。more

Ant Middleton’s previous self-help books have mostly been self-congratulatory exercises in money-making， and now this book is his first foray into novel writing。 This is a very formulaic thriller - lone wolf gets thrown out of army， becomes a one man crusader for justice and hurts a lot of comic-book baddies - which offers nothing new to the well-worn genre other than more of the same， but has some exciting moments。 If you have ever hankered after joining the SAS and you like books about hardcas Ant Middleton’s previous self-help books have mostly been self-congratulatory exercises in money-making， and now this book is his first foray into novel writing。 This is a very formulaic thriller - lone wolf gets thrown out of army， becomes a one man crusader for justice and hurts a lot of comic-book baddies - which offers nothing new to the well-worn genre other than more of the same， but has some exciting moments。 If you have ever hankered after joining the SAS and you like books about hardcases knocking seven bells out of other hardcases， then you will love this book。 It is not a classic of the genre and has nothing you haven’t seen before， but it is competently written and will scratch your thriller itch。 。。。more

Buckle up， lads， because this book is a rollercoaster。 Background: I’m a big fan of SAS:WDW， and have read most of the cast （non fiction） books so pretty confident that I’m the target audience here。 We all know this is why most people are going to pick this title up but it shouldn’t be - it will appeal to thriller fans across the board。 The difference is， Ant Middleton’s lived experiences add some gravitas to the story， especially with regards to main character Mallory’s flashback chapters in Af Buckle up， lads， because this book is a rollercoaster。 Background: I’m a big fan of SAS:WDW， and have read most of the cast （non fiction） books so pretty confident that I’m the target audience here。 We all know this is why most people are going to pick this title up but it shouldn’t be - it will appeal to thriller fans across the board。 The difference is， Ant Middleton’s lived experiences add some gravitas to the story， especially with regards to main character Mallory’s flashback chapters in Afghanistan。 It’s very well paced， with short punchy chapters and I was really impressed with the clever storyline which is left open for a series。 Think Simon Kernick level action with a military twist and you’re there。 And that’s really the highest compliment I could give to any thriller。 I wasn’t expecting it and was pleasantly surprised！ I’ve already been raving about it to anyone who will listen！ 。。。more
