About this listen

The explosive book from ex-MI5 surveillance officer Tom Marcus takes the listener on a non-stop, adrenaline-fuelled ride as he hunts down those who would do our country harm.

Tom spent years working covertly to stop those who want to do us harm. In his best-selling memoir Soldier Spy, he told how he was recruited and described some of his top-secret operations. In I Spy, he takes us deeper undercover as he puts his life on the line once more.

I Spy plunges the listener straight into the action as Tom and his team race to prevent terrorists from causing carnage on our streets and outsmart Russian agents, blocking a daring plot that threatens the security of the nation. Relying on their quick wits, training and courage, the extraordinary men and women of MI5 are under intense pressure every day. Not everyone is suited for the work, and Tom shows how the incredibly tough challenges he faced growing up gave him the mental strength and skills to survive in a dangerous world.

Gritty and eye-opening, this is a unique insight into a hidden war and the sacrifices made by those who fight it. You will never take your safety for granted again.

This audiobook includes an interview between author, Tom Marcus, and reader, Jason Langley.

Very interesting story of modern mi5

I like books based on true people or events so a first hand look into the life of an mi5 counter terrorist agent was very interesting. Like the first book (Soldier Spy), this book tells the story of an agent as he works with his team to keep tabs on home bread terrorists and foreign spies whilst battling his inner demons and the stress of the job. Your kept hooked as the operation heats up. My only gripe with this book (and Soldier Spy too) is the story is regularly interrupted almost like an advert as the author makes yet another sanctimonious speech about how great mi5 is, how they protect the world and risk their lives. All that is certainly true but I don’t need reminding of if every 30 minutes. That aside, the actual story is great. Definitely worth a listen. Very insightful how operatives communicate with each other as they control a target. Despite the small gripe, both books are a good read.

Please listen

An adrenaline charged account of an MI5 operative, but at what cost to the officers. Good luck 'Tom', thanks to everyone who puts themselves in harms way for others
