This book delivered appealing and well developed characters - even the psychopath was written with a touch of sympathetic understanding. The choice of all characters was brilliant, particularly the Silver Soldiers and gormless grandson. The characters worked well to make a mundane plot really interesting. In my opinion Dave Eastman achieved his aim of entertainment and excitement.

A well developed story with an excellent plot. The story contains strong characters with plenty of action. Contains plenty of political intrigue. A very enjoyable read that was hard to put down. I highly recommend this book.

Set in the UK, this rapidly moving tale of what retired folks can do to assist in national crisis when family is in danger is a real winner. The characters are strong and resourceful and keep the reader engaged. See publisher's blurb for clues as I think spoilers are a disservice to an author. Not gory, no erotica, just good, involving writing.
Thanks for the opportunity, LibraryThing!

My best sum-up: a much more enjoyable Expendables! Very funny and lots of action! There were a lot of jokes throughout that keep the book light.
A few iffy things: I had a hard time remembering that it's set in England. Also based on the reference to an iPhone 11, I assumed the book takes place 4 or so years in the future but there are a lot of major changes to the current police system in London (such as everyone heavily packing) that seem like that kind of overhaul would take a much longer time! There were also a bunch of uncomfortable sexist comments about the female characters (only two main ones, the rest of the book is overpowered by males). It just felt like the author could've made more of an effort to avoid stereotypes for these characters.
