A lot of thrillers these days, you come away feeling like you've been in a simulator. Gordon Kent straps you into the real thing. Enjoy the ride!'<br/>IAN RANKIN, </p><p>'Flying, spying and dying - Night Trap is the real straight Navy stuff. Better strap yourself to the chair. I loved it.'<br/>STEPHEN COONTS</p><p>Peacemaker</p><p>'Tom Clancy used to have the high-tech military thriller stakes all to himself but now Gordon Kent has entered the field, and how. There's action on all fronts with Alan Craik at the heart of it, whether it's a carrier group in the Med confronting a rogue Russian sub commander, mounting a rescue mission for a captured CIA agent in Africa, or helping combat a high-level conspiracy in Washington. Non-stop ... a smoking gun of a story.'<br/>Northern Echo</p><p>'Told with all the authority of inside knowledge ... an absorbing tale of international skulduggery.'<br/>Irish News</p><p>Top Hook</p><p>'Consistently excellent ... loaded with gunfights, snappy dialogue and the aerial hijinks of supersonic jet fighters. The high testosterone doses satisfy, but best is the complex and clever web of motive Kent weaves for the mole.'<br/>Publishers Weekly</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Gordon Kent is the pseudonym of a father-and-son writing team, both of whom have extensive personal experience in the US Navy.
