An exiled agent. A growing threat. A clandestine war.


Addictive and fast-paced, Black 13 is the brilliant first thriller in the Scott Pearce series from Sunday Times bestselling author Adam Hamdy. Ex-MI6 officer Pearce is about to show us that, in a world where there is no loyalty to the nation state, it’s time to burn the espionage rule book.

The world is in turmoil and nothing is as it seems. Radical extremists are on the rise, using new threats and new technologies to divide and disrupt. With governments, the military and intelligence agencies being outmanoeuvred at every step, borders are breaking down and the old espionage rules are obsolete. To fight this war a new doctrine is needed and one man will make the difference.

Meet Ex-MI6 agent Scott Pearce.


Off-grid and off the books, Pearce is forced into the fight when he learns of the brutal murder of an old friend. Determined to avenge his death, Pearce assembles a team of trusted ex-colleagues.

It’s time to take the war to those responsible . . .
