Written by a real-life James Bond. This author is the real thing.
When MI6, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, calls in the manuscript
of a first-time thriller writer's new book, you know that it's no
ordinary thriller. And that the author is no ordinary author. Matthew
Dunn spent 5 years as a field operative in SIS recruiting and running
agents, planning and participating in special operations and operating
deep undercover throughout the world. In SPARTAN, Dunn's explosive
debut, he draws on his unique background to breathe dynamic new life
into the contemporary spy novel.
Featuring super-spy Will Cochrane, Dunn paints a nerve-shredding, stunningly suthentic picture of today's secret world. It's a place where trust is precious and betrayal is cheap. And where a violent death is the reward for being outplayed by your enemy. Will Cochrane, the Service's most prized asset and deadliest weapon, has known little else since childhood. And he's never been outplayed. So far...
'Great talent, great imagination, and real been-there done-that authenticity make this one of the year's best thriller debuts. Highly recommended.' Lee Child

About Matthew Dunn
Matthew Dunn was trained by SIS in all aspects of intelligence collection and direct action including agent running, deep-cover deployments, small-arms, explosives, military unarmed combat, surveillance, anti-surveillance, counter-surveillance, advanced driving, infiltration and exfiltration techniques and covert communications. He used his skills extensively on operations. Although typically he worked alone, but in conducting near seventy missions, he also had significant experience of working with highly-specialised units from the SAS and SBS as well as conducting joint-operations with MI5, GCHQ and the CIA. Medals are never awarded to modern MI6 officers, but Dunn was the recipient of a very rare personal commendation from the Foreign Secretary actions that directly influenced the successful conclusion of a major international incident. He lives in England.
