Yeah, the new year's resolution to READ FEWER BOOKS is going great, thanks for asking. Still, early days yet, with a bit of real effort I might get it down to only two or three a week. Robert Hoon swears and insults and does bloody violence in his ongoing search for the missing daughter of a friend, In a not at all unlikely turn of events he's sort of recruited by MI5 to help inflitrate criminal oraganisation known as The Loop, look, go with it, this left over the top behind in the first volume and is still climbing. With a mixture of brutish charm and shamelss bluff he infiltrates an underground cage-fighting racket, which, if I'm going to be honest, seems indistinguishable from the bits of MMA I've glimpsed except for the posh people wearing masks. That's in the book, not MMA. So far as I know. Anyway, there follows lots and lots of mayhem. Kirk gets a bit better at not handing the idiot stick to whoever happens to be Hoon's foil in any given interaction, but it still happens a lot. Very nasty and a lot of fun.
