Run With The Brave (28 page)
The North Koreans have created a lethal super virusâ¦
Terrorists have hijacked a Russian nuclear submarineâ¦
Together, they are planning an attack that
could have deadly consequencesâ¦
Using their spy networks in Seoul and Moscow, British Intelligence establish that the North Koreans are manufacturing a lethal super virus. They also learn of a planned attack on a major Western city, to be carried out by terrorists using a hijacked Russian nuclear submarine. Are these two strands of intelligence linked?
MI6 send a small team of specialists into North Korea with orders to verify if a virus does exist. Led by Frank Ryder, an ex-SAS operative, who is accompanied by Dr. Grace Seymour, an army virologist, the team search the remote central highlands to find the manufacturing facility.
Meanwhile, the British Navy's âstate-of-the-art' nuclear submarine,
HMS Ambush
, is ordered to find and destroy the hijacked Russian submarine. The crew must endure weeks of cat-and-mouse searching, but will they succeed in finding the rogue submarine before a missile and its deadly warhead are unleashed towards an unsuspecting city?

Paths of Courage
At last a new rip-roaring thriller-adventure! Interestingly, not involving the Middle East terror elements but facing down a potential terror threat from Korea. Mike Woodhams takes no prisoners in his book
Paths of Courage
as he gives us an elite team, transported into North Korea to trace evidence of a threat. A new super-virus has purportedly been manufactured, ready for an assault on the West. The SAS team is led by Frank Ryder whose job it is to ensure that the virologist, Dr Grace Seymour can investigate this impending threat and seek any available vaccine. Meanwhile, a Russian sub has been taken by the North Koreans as a delivery mechanism for the life threatening bug. The Brits'
HMS Ambush
is tracing the subâ¦all action, all the way.
This is a great read projecting a very gloomy picture of life inside this mysterious country where life does not count for much. It is such an energetic novel and the action is the name of the game.

Mike Woodhams' book is a great thriller. A mix between Tom Clancy and James Patterson, this story moves at pace across the globe, it was difficult to put down with every chapter ending on a cliffhanger, it's a quick and enjoyable read.
Bravo Mike Woodhams.

Looking for a good old-fashioned, espionage-based action thriller, look no further. This story starts with action and does not stop until the conclusion, my type of book â pure entertainment. Omega team, an elite British black operations unit led by Frank Ryder, is given the task of tracking a deadly virus and retrieving a vaccine. To do this he has help from Grace Seymour, a scientist from Porton Down. Whilst Omega are tracking the virus, the latest British hunter killer submarine is looking for a rogue Russian Delta sub. Are the two linked? Mike Woodhams has to be congratulated for a superb book, like a 007 movie in type.

Paths of Courage
started out fast, edge of your seat, ran that way all the way through and ended up with a huge bang. I loved this book, it is an espionage thriller written like you were there. Current events lead the way, with Frank Ryder, former SAS teaming up with a virologist to find out if North Korea has developed a lethal super virus or not. It is filled with action, and very well written. Don't waste any more time reading my review, get this book and enjoy the read. This preview copy was given to me by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
