Summary

The explosive book from ex-MI5 surveillance officer Tom Marcus takes the listener on a non-stop, adrenaline-fuelled ride as he hunts down those who would do our country harm.

Tom spent years working covertly to stop those who want to do us harm. In his best-selling memoir Soldier Spy, he told how he was recruited and described some of his top-secret operations. In I Spy, he takes us deeper undercover as he puts his life on the line once more. 

I Spy plunges the listener straight into the action as Tom and his team race to prevent terrorists from causing carnage on our streets and outsmart Russian agents, blocking a daring plot that threatens the security of the nation. Relying on their quick wits, training and courage, the extraordinary men and women of MI5 are under intense pressure every day. Not everyone is suited for the work, and Tom shows how the incredibly tough challenges he faced growing up gave him the mental strength and skills to survive in a dangerous world. 

Gritty and eye-opening, this is a unique insight into a hidden war and the sacrifices made by those who fight it. You will never take your safety for granted again. 

This audiobook includes an interview between author, Tom Marcus, and reader, Jason Langley.

Thank you for everything you did a true hero

I don’t have a great reading history and the only book I have actually got into was Jonny Wilkinson’s autobiography, however this book gripped me from start to finish.
You can tell such honesty, passion and emotion went into writing this book and it’s interesting to hear all about how we are kept safe.
These guys put themselves in danger daily and the descriptions about the operations and how much goes on we don’t know about is really well written and really well captured in the reading. From what I’ve studied in criminal law enforcement the descriptions of the operations are not far fetched as some people make out, if anything you don’t get the complete picture I’d say.
It’s an absolutely brilliant read and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a gripping, edge of your seat true life book to read.

Fantastic fast paced thriller

Great follow up I just hope there is more to come. As in the first book the narration is excellent, the storyline engaging and in the most it’s fast paced leaving you wanting more. Good to hear more about the authors upbringing and also the effect of the job on others around him. Whilst he doesn’t champion his PTSD it’s great to listen to him (via the narrator) open up in the hope other will follow.

Great job TM!

Just incredible

After reading Soldier Spy, I was really looking forward to I Spy being released. I listened to it on commutes and felt as though I was a part of the operations hearing the radio transmissions. The story is incredible, Tom Marcus goes into great detail on how his life was really like, there are some incredible chapters which also tug on the heart strings.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading (listening) to Tom Marcus’s books and this one has topped it right off. Thankyou TC and Jason Langley
