The Adventures of Hyde and Godwin

To follow up on The Last Raven, Craig Thomas created this little piece of entertainment and goes all over the place with it. Though most of Craig's books are all over the place with an ensemble cast of characters, this time he seems to take it pretty far and almost to the point of being down right confussing. But regardless, it's a very fun read just for Craig's marvelous writing. There's an electronics company called Reid Davies that British agents Patrick Hyde and Tony Godwin are investigating for some reason. Of course they're snooping around where they shouldn't and uncover things that some want left covered. Right when Hyde and Godwin run to Sir Kenneth Aubrey, head of SIS, Aubrey recives a letter from Namibia, where ex-agent Richard Anderson is in trouble. He unwittingly stepped upon the back end of what Reid Davies are up to and is pursued. The small village where he spends his quiet life in is burned down by his pursuers, and he gets sucked back into his old life in the process. Of course, who could be behind all this mischief? None other than British traitor Andrew Babbington. Also Paulus Malan from The Last Raven has something to do with it, and Aubrey had sworn revenge against him at the end of the last book. Will he finally get that revenge? It's all a little confussing, but if you're familar with Craig's books you should enjoy this one. It ties up the loose ends from the last few books and it's just a really fun read. Patrick Hyde is one of my favorties of Craig's characters and Tony Godwin makes for a good partner for Hyde. Great entertainment.
