Description
Who, what or where is Contact Zero? Deep in the mythology of the Service, whispered in training, clung to in moments of despair, is the belief that it is out there, the last chance saloon. You think you're beaten, betrayed and utterly alone, but maybe you're not. Maybe you get your one shot at rescue, if not redemption. Contact Zero: run by members of the Service, for members of the Service. When an operation is mortally compromised in David Wolstencroft's fabulous second novel, four show more first-year probationary agents, cut adrift in four corners of the World, must put Contact Zero to the test. But first they have to find it. And maybe one of the youngsters isn't quite as innocent as the others... show lessTags

Yes. This is a book written by one of the creators of Spooks. Yes. It is also a spy book, which I seem to have developed a strange liking for over the last few weeks. And yes. This one is added to the list of the enjoyed.
Contact Zero tells the story of four probationary M16 officers, out on their first assignment. Things go terribly wrong, and they end up disowned by their country and their service. All alone in different parts of the world, with lots of people trying to kill them. The only hope that have is a possibly mythical 'group' known as Contact Zero - run by spies, for the spies.
I'm not going to say anything more about the plot, because there are wonderful twists and turns the whole way through. The whole thing revolves around show more trust - the trust they have for each other, for the people they meet, and for their superiors back in England. There's some great moments of suspense in the book, but there's also a real strength to the characters - they're interesting and compelling and you want to know more about them.
This is Wolstencroft's second book and I'm now hunting madly for the first one. It's a nice inclusion in the spy genre (and Spooks writers will see possible crossovers), and one I thoroughly enjoyed. show less
