This series reads like the gritty spy television series the author wished he could watch. It has the excitement and the boredom of day to day spying. There are dangerous foreign missions of the minders mixed with office politics aplenty, spiced with particularly British high-level bastardry. In this collection several emotional shocks hit the team, one after the other, jolting them out of their torpor. The different artists for each story (as with the first volume) was a bit jarring though.

Hard hitting action and a compelling main character--two factors that make this series a favorite of mine. Dark in tone, grimdark at times, it isn't for kids. Rather, a mature reader will appreciate the complexities of politics, corporate executives playing god, and grey morals of survivors.

I enjoyed Queen & Country Volume 2. Things seemed to ramp up a little more and it looks like we are going to get some interesting story lines coming down the path. Looking forward to Volume 3.
