About this listen

Things are looking bad for disgraced spy August Drummond. In emotional free fall after the death of his wife, fired for a series of unprecedented security breaches that saw him labelled a traitor...and now his neighbour on the flight to Istanbul won’t stop talking.

The only thing keeping him sane is the hunch that there’s something not quite right about the nervous young man several rows ahead - a hunch that is confirmed when August watches him throw away directions to an old European cemetery seconds before being detained by Turkish police. And when a reckless August decides to go in his place, little does he know that he is setting in motion a series of events that will test his ingenuity and resourcefulness to the limit, and bring him face to face with a terrifying figure from the dark heart of the Islamic State.

The second novel in a trilogy about loyalty and betrayal in the modern age, How to Betray Your Country is an authentic thriller about walking the line between following your conscience and following orders.

Not quite as good as his first novel..

From a descriptive perspective quite brilliant, however I am not sure if I was listening to an author on LSD or reading out of an SIS training handbook. Wolff has obviously an intimate knowledge of middle eastern politics and undercover intelligence operations yet he’s failed to meet his mission statement of new Le Caree. Still, I await the third in the trilogy; it will make or break Wolff as the modern day English spy thriller writer.

Such a contradiction

I absolutely loved the first book in this series but really struggled with this book. I’m writing this review half way through the book as I don’t think I’m going to finish this one. I was so impressed by the first book that I bought the rest in the series immediately. Whilst the basis for this story is incredibly original and the care and attention the Author has put into the complexity of his characters is again top notch, there is one aspect of the story requiring you to suspend belief. I’m so disappointed to be writing this as I loved the characters, laughed out loud and really felt their pain. I’m still a fan of the Author and about to begin the next in the series.
