Review The Increment (Mi-vox pre-loaded audio player) (Mi-Vox Pre-loaded Audio Player) / audiobooksonline.co.uk:The Increment is further proof-if proof were needed-that Chris Ryan has carved out an unassailable position for himself as a purveyor of stripped-down, express-train-style narratives that provide in kinetic action what they might skimp on in characterisation. That's not to say that Ryan doesn't provide exactly as much characterisation as is required; notably in his tough and resourceful protagonist Matt Browning, who is an action hero for the 21st century. The Increment is the super-secret assassination unit of the SAS-and it has one less member. Matt Browning was served his walking papers after having the temerity to challenge an order. But, needless to say, his association with Britain's premier fighting unit is not at an end: his ex-colleagues enlist him again to help a massive drugs company get rid of illicit copies of medicines manufactured by ruthless European gangsters. The long-term Chris Ryan reader will not be surprised to learn that (as in books such as The Kremlin Device and Zero Option), everything is soon going to hell in a handcart when (among other things) it transpires that an old army colleague of Matt's is on what looks like a psychotic killing spree-and he's not alone. Why are servicemen up and down the country intent on bloodletting? Before long, Matt is in the sights of nothing less than the Increment itself-and his chances of survival are small. Readers these days demand something more gritty than the high-life heroics that were Ian Fleming's stock-in-trade, and while some might lament the downward trajectory of the secret operative (in a social sense, if nothing else), Chris Ryan is still your man if you want first-rate, no-nonsense, thick-ear action. -Barry Forshaw.

Was Lord Provost's daughter kidnapped or a runaway? Why is a city councillor shredding documents that should have been destroyed years ago? And more importantly, why has Rebus been invited to a pigeon shoot at the home of the Scottish Office's Permanent secretary? Rebus must contend with the fact that in modern Scotland, some of his enemies may be beyond justice.

Review Vanish / Random House Audiobooks:Tess Gerritsen's Vanish sports precisely those qualities that her much-acclaimed Body Double had in profusion: razor-sharp plotting, tight and economical characterisation and (most of all) the inexorable capture of the reader's attention as her grim plot disturbingly unfolds. Of course, none of this will come as a surprise to long-term Gerritsen fans (an ever-growing legion)-The Surgeon rang some fascinating changes on the serial killer theme, with a threat from the grave terrifying a doctor, and )-The Apprentice, with its killer utilising medical acumen, took no prisoners. But Body Double was the ace in the hole, with resourceful cop Jane Rizzoli tracking down the murderer of her doppelganger. Jane Rizzoli, readers will be glad to hear, is back in Vanish. Medical examiner Maura Isles is looking at another body in a slab. Not a new experience for her, but she's in for another shock when the body opens its eyes and proves to be alive. And violence swiftly follows, as the mystery woman-strikingly beautiful-kills a security guard in the hospital she's taken to, before capturing a group of hostages. One of them is a pregnant woman-Detective Jane Rizzoli, no less. And if Jane can find out what this lethal abductor wants, she may be able to save her own life-and those of the other hostages. But the clock is ticking. [+]One might argue that Gerritsen has played safe with this scenario in terms of ratcheting up the tension. After all, a hostage situation is always surefire, with its constant threat of impending violence. But the author (as ever) studiously avoid clichés, and ensures a palm-sweating experience for the reader. A good notion, too, to make Jane Rizzoli more vulnerable in this outing. -Barry Forshaw.
