The 8th, 9th and 10th thrillers in Stephen Leather's bestselling Spider Shepherd series, available in one all-action collection, including FAIR GAME, FALSE FRIENDS and TRUE COLOURS.

Fair Game
When Somali pirates seize the crew of a yacht off the coast of Africa, they bite off more than they can chew. One of the hostages has friends in high places and Spider Shepherd is put on the case. But as Shepherd closes in on his quarry he realises that there's much more at stake than the lives of the hostages and that the pirates are involved in a terrorist plot that will strike at the heart of London.

False Friends
The most wanted man in the world is dead. Now those loyal to him seek revenge. When Navy Seals track down and kill Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan, al-Qaeda realise they have a traitor in their midst. After the false friends are revealed to be two British students, Malik and Chaudhry, Dan 'Spider' Shepherd must teach the pair how to survive undercover.

True Colours
The Russian oligarchs are the world's new elite. They treat the world as their plaything, travelling without borders and living lives of unimaginable luxury without fear or restraint. But when an assassin starts killing off some of the world's richest men, an oligarch with friends in high places seeks the protection of MI5. And Spider Shepherd is placed in the firing line.

True Colours.

Really interesting storyline and i am really a great fan of Spider Shepherd and his adventures in the Stephen Leather books.

[Philip · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Spider Shepherd series is a roman-fleuve with each novel continuing the chronological tale but also each being a stand-alone read in its own right. Book 8 concerns an escapade with Somali pirates and unfinished Northern Ireland business, Book 9 the assassination of Osama Bin Laden and the unforeseen repercussions of this to MI6 spies, and Book 10 is about Russian oligarchs in London and a terrorist from the past. It's all gripping stuff and great fun to read.

Read all three books on Kindle. My first foray on Kindle. Must admit, don't really like reading on Kindle. Much prefer a book in my hand so I know where I am. Kindle gives me a migraine. Anyway, I just love the Spider Shepherd series and these three were no exception. I've ordered the next one in the series and managed to get the actual book this time!
