How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starspage turning thrills
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 May 2022
When an Iranian defector shows his true loyalties, steals a vital bit of kit and flees for home, there may be only one man who can stop him, Richard Yokely.
Other thriller writers must be envious of the way Stephen Leather delivers outstanding thrillers every single time. He appears to not have a bad book in him.
Richard Yokely is one of Mr Leather’s side characters, talented, with ruthless and singular focus and a man you definitely want on your side.
This is a novella so the focus is on page turning action as Yokely and his small team chase down the bad guy as he makes his way across the Middle East towards home. We are introduced to a world of clandestine operations and military units that live in a world under the radar and Yokely’s team burn through them heading for their target. I liked the clever plot device that required the bad guy to briefly “show” himself to his pursuers. But then the whole plot was a delight to be honest, a captivating thrill ride from one of the best. Not much more you could ask from a novella or thriller.

3.0 out of 5 starsShort changed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2022
Bought this for a friend who loves Stephen Leather books. They enjoyed the story line but felt short changed with this one which is around half the length of a typical novel and contained lots of descriptive padding rather than plot. Hopefully the next one will return to previous format and story quality.

Richard Yokely is a serial winner. We all aspire to be able to jump the hurdles of life without stopping and he manages to achieve it, all be it with weapons that we can only imagine. One thing though, not all British soldiers are wannabe SAS.

Stephen Leather has never failed. I have all of his books, the whole Spider Shepherd collection (to date), all the Jack Nightingale books and both Richard Yokeley books as well as all of his stand alone books.
He is the sort of author I enjoy. Every book is a page turner that you have to fight to put down. He hasn't failed me yet and I look forward to every new book.
