About this audiobook

White light. Heat. A drawn-out moment of complete silence. And then the screaming starts.

An Underground carriage in London is destroyed by a suicide bomber. The injured and the dead litter the platform. But as a crowd forms at street level, Michael Pope knows that this is only the beginning.

Pope, head of top-secret Group Fifteen, is tasked with finding the perpetrators of this atrocity and bringing them to justice, any way he can. He knows that the answers to many of his questions will lie at the end of the money trail, but he also knows that whoever funded and organised the attack will kill again for their freedom.

This is an operation that requires a very special kind of agent. Pope needs someone who exists outside of normality. Someone who floats above it, treading softly through a fractured life.

He needs the Angel.

The Angel is the first part in a continuing story involving Isabella Rose. The story will be continued in Act II, The Asset.

    The story ended leaving the plot unfinished. I felt cheated and disappointed. Great reader, but sadly a poor outcome.

    Not my kind of book at all, but that's my fault for only focusing on the 'female assassin' aspect and not reading the blurb properly. Said assassin, Isabella Rose, never really 'came alive' for me - I wouldn't be willing to read the rest of the series, even though the story ends on a cliffhanger. For me, the characters have to be stronger than the action, which Dawson flips around. And why make her fifteen? Even iif she's a prodigy who has been taught the art of assassination by her mother, she's still only a teenager. Creepy. Also, the first half of the novel, with the 7/7 style bombings, seems disconnected from the climax, with Isabella 'infiltrating' a posh school on behalf of some undercover ex-MI5 agents. There clearly is a link, but I felt like I'd been thrown from a Jack Reacher imitation novel into a YA series about a high school spy (is there such a thing? There probably is.) Just - weird. Don't care, moving on.

    Hold onto your seats as a underground carriage in London is bombed, bodies and bodies parts litter the platform as those still alive panic and run. This is only book one and I liked the sure footed Michael Pope from the start. As head of the top secret Group 15, he is the one who needs to find all the guilty parties, but he needs someone special, an agent that thinks outside of normalcy, an agent who is ruthless and does whatever it takes to get results!

    Don't you just hate it when a book ends like this? Right in the middle of the story. However, the writing, the plot, the characters drag you along through the book. A good piece of writing, which makes me want to purchase the next book in the series. Good writing.J.
