Synopsis

WINNER OF THE IAN FLEMING STEEL DAGGER AWARD 2010 FOR BEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR!
The last time Jonah saw Nor ed-Din, he was lying face down in a pool of black water in the Khyber Pass. For many years, Jonah had been under the impression that he'd killed him there.

Jonah: an undercover operative for one of Britain's most secret agencies

Nor: the agent he befriended, recruited, then left for dead

Miranda: the woman he thought he loved enough to give up everything for

How far can loyalty be stretched before it reaches a limit? Millions of lives depend on the answer, as a twisting road of betrayal and revenge leads from the mountains of Afghanistan to the heart of London . . . and a ticking bomb.

Review:

'A dizzying journey starring international terrorists, Uday Hussein, freelance salvage merchants and a container full of suffocated Kuwaiti businessmen. Simon Conway's writing is authoritative and authentic. RAGE is a thriller that manages to balance adrenalin with intelligence.' Scotland on Sunday on RAGE In a word: Great The Herald Sun on RAGE Conway writes with brutal immediacy, his mordant irony resonating uncomfortably even as it entertains...Grim, kinetic thriller set against an unconventional and inspired backdrop Kirkus Reviews on RAGE Debut of a roaring and prodigal talent ... Not so much a novel as a life experience. Don't miss it. Literary Review on DAMAGED Imagine John le Carre on bad acid - edgy, twisted and very, very dark. Howard Marks on DAMAGED Good background, with an on-the-nail summary of Northern Ireland wheeling and dealing...and a wild Celtic streak that marks Conway as one to watch. The Guardian on DAMAGED Cruel, violent and lyrical, it's Iain Banks meeting Alan Warner in Tom Clancy's missile silo. Excellent. Select on DAMAGED
