Firefly

By: Henry Porter

Narrated by: Matt Addis

From the refugee camps of Greece to the mountains of Macedonia, a 13-year-old boy is making his way to Germany and to safety. Codenamed "Firefly", he holds vital intelligence: unparalleled insight into a vicious ISIS terror cell and details of their plans. But the terrorists are hot on his trail, determined he won't live to pass on the information.

When MI6 become aware of Firefly and what he knows, the race is on to find him. Luc Samson, ex-MI6 agent and now private eye, finds himself recruited to the cause. Fluent in Arabic thanks to his Lebanese heritage and himself the product of an earlier era of violent civil war, Samson's job is to find Firefly, win his trust, and get him to safety.

A devastatingly timely thriller following the refugee trail from Syria to Europe, Firefly is a sophisticated, breathtaking race against time from an author who brings a whole new level of urgency to the genre.

Espionage, current events, and rich characters

An exceptionally gifted narrator, telling a compelling story. The author brought current events into focus, while transporting readers to regions and people in the world that are living out these gruesome political realities on a daily basis.

Brilliant

I read so many thrillers that they can become a bit tedious. Firefly was a total and unexpected departure from the usual formula of this genre. The character development, the exploration of moral quandaries, the cat-and-mouse quality... many elements merge successfully here making it a delightful, rewarding read!

Memorized

loved this. couldn't stop listening. didn't want it to end.
highly recommend listening to this.

Engaging spy thriller

Lots of twists and turns in a story involving Arabic terrorists and criminals chasing an immigrant boy with incriminating information. He is aided by an off-the-books British spy and an attractive psychologist. Excellent narrator.

All good!

Good story, Syrian refugees’ struggle to find safety, presented in a well written way which includes the struggles (understatement) and hardships endured …. and the horrors of Isis.
