The Terminate Code

Hedge & Cole #2

by Kevin Bradley

Imagine coming home one night to find that the person you love most in the world has completely vanished.
There are no messages, no calls, and no communication of any kind.
Your partner has disappeared and you have no idea why.
How relieved would you be when you discover that your loved one is still alive, only to find out that they have been snatched by a ruthless, cold-blooded killer?
But the kidnapper isn’t motivated by money, it’s much worse than that. He’s been fuelled by years of hatred and anger. And now he’s come to collect what belongs to him.
This is a novel in the acclaimed Hedge & Cole thriller series.
(The Terminate Code story concludes in this book, but the main characters are set to return in future exploits).
Cole is a tough, ex-military man. He’s the sort of person that trouble and danger seem to follow, wherever he goes. He can be ruthless when he needs to be. And he often finds the need.
Hedge is a reluctant hero. Plagued with anxieties and haunted by flashbacks, he is not the type of lead character that you would normally expect. This novel is refreshingly different in that respect.
Together they must track down a dangerous assassin.
But all is not what it appears to be, and the shocking twist at the end will leave you breathless.
Kevin Bradley once again shows how to mix fast paced action, with suspense and intrigue. This book will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
This book would sit well alongside your Lee Child and Jack Higgins favourites!

About the author

I live in England and have travelled all over the world. I try to bring many of my own personal observations and adventures into my novels.

I spent all of my teenage years either at boarding school or living on military bases. The frequently exciting, and often cruel experiences from this period are clearly reflected in my writing.

Before turning to storytelling, I had a successful business career and, as well as an Honours Degree in Social Economics, I also hold an MBA from the Edinburgh Business School.

When not writing I enjoy mountain biking and road running.

Reviews

[J.E. Friend · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was well written with good descriptives. In the scene where Prem stuffs a dirty hanky down Hedge’s throat, my gag reflex was engaged. Usually such things don’t affect me in books, but in this case I felt I was right there suffering along with Hedge. Well done! The only thing I didn’t like was the epilogue. Having little passages that updated the reader on all the characters in the book to me was unnecessary. It left things too neat and took the imagination away from the reader. I would read more from this author.
I received a complimentary copy from Voracious Readers for an unbiased review.

I enjoyed reading this...i had a hard time putting it down. There was suspense, a page turner that I was a bit bleary eyed the next morning from staying up all night reading.

I received this book free with the expectation of providing my review.
