 The Infiltrators November 3, 2007
The first page in this book caught my attention immediately. It's written in a manner that takes you straight into the officers heads, and it's hard not to feel the stress, panic and excitement that they feel no matter what side of the thought track you lie on. If you're looking for an over-the-top cops and robbers shoot-em-up don't get this book. However if you want an insight into the realities of how undercover work happens then you have to get this. I loved the fact that some of the roads and locations in London are ones that I know or have heard of, and this is what makes it real.

I loved this book, just fast paced enough to keep you wanting more and just detailed enough to show that these guys really lived the stories that they're telling. I liked the way that the two threads slowly converged to the final climax and thought that Philip and Martin did a great job of entertaining and informing. Well done guys, for the book but mostly for the service that you gave to all of us.

This is a great factual read. It tells the true story of brave London detectives who went undercover to bust organised criminal gangs. For more of the same see the terrific novels The Face and Two-Faced by Garry Bushell which cover similar ground in a fictional setting with buckets of humour

This book in brilliant, it brings to life the experiences of the author and is also believable (which seems to be lacking in similar books of this genre where the authors claim to have done things which appear to be blatant embellishments to sell books!)
My only criticism is that it is very difficult to put down and as such I got through it fairly quickly.
One hell of a book!! October 9, 2004

Where to begin.... from the moment i picked up this book i was glued and could not put it back down!! Each page told a different story of the lives of these police officers, prepared to put their lives on the line to make our world a safer place. The risks involved in their jobs were paramount and this is clearly reflected in this book. The twists and turns in each individual chapter allow this book to come to a climax ending, where i was on the edge of my seat to see the fate of these two officers! An amazing book, i would recommend this read to anyone!!!!!!
