From the #1 internationally bestselling author of Relentless, Stay
Alive, and Ultimatum, a heart-pounding, race-against-time thriller
about a carefully orchestrated hostage takeover at a London hotel.
London is under attack. An unknown number of its citizens are dead. Many
more lives hang in the balance as a group of highly trained gunmen storm
the luxuri-ous Stanhope Hotel on Park Lane, demanding the government
meet their requests within five hours--or they will blow up the building
and everyone still inside it.
Shots ring out. Some guests panic. Others text their loved ones. A few
try to escape. All are united by their desire to live. And at the center
of it all is one man who has information so dangerous that it must be
kept safe--at any price. Darkness falls. The gunmen become increasingly
violent. One question is on everyone's mind: Will any of them survive
the night?
Kernick generates a potent cocktail of thrills (The Guardian) and
calls to mind Robert Ludlum and Lee Child in sheer storytelling power
and action. With a fast-moving plot and an arsenal of dynamic characters
who are at once familiar and full of surprises, Siege will keep you on
the edge of your seat from its start to its shocking finish.
