Jude Lyon of MI6 has narrowly foiled the traitor Guy Fowle's plot to level London, using the Russian sabotage app GROM.
The public are demanding answers, answers the government doesn't have. As the country reels, a new populist political figure carves a stratospheric trajectory - but is he all he seems?
In Moscow the President is furious. The world now knows the destructive power of GROM, and as the Russians scramble to understand how it got into Fowle's hands, they start to worry that perhaps it could be used against them.
But Jude Lyon has just one question on his mind.
Guy Fowle is missing, with nothing left to lose. What is he planning next?
Seething with political machinations, burning with blood-thumping action, and featuring the best returning MI6 operative since James Bond The Survivor brings the espionage novel crashing into the modern day.
The Survivor Reviews
"The Survivor, like its predecessors, combines high-tech expertise with bare-knuckle thrills. It's like being strapped to a rocket. A triumph.”
- Mick Herron, on The Survivor
"A former British army officer and overseas aid worker, Conway brings insider knowledge of the military and geopolitics to add an extra layer to the finale in a terrifyingly plausible trilogy."
- Financial Times
"If you like your villains suave, if irredeemably vicious and evil, and your heroes incredibly brave and resourceful, Simon Conway's The Survivor, a hold-on-tight action-packed thriller, ticks all the boxes with considerable brio."
- Independent
“Since their debuts in The Stranger, MI6 operative Jude Lyon's antagonism with rogue terrorist Guy Fowle has been among the most memorable in contemporary thrillerdom. Conway's military experience imbues the bloody showdowns with bone-jarring authenticity. In the final reckoning, however, this is a duel between two big beasts - the old school crazed villain and Lyon's modern incarnation of Galahad, a paladin with feelings, but up for it when what he holds dear is threatened.”
- The Times
"Simon Conway is one of the great thriller writers of our times - and in Jude Lyon has created a truly fascinating investigator . . . This is a proper international thriller, with Conway sweeping the reader from Belarus to Africa to London, and all the time bringing the scene to life with the lightest of touches."
- Holly Watt, author of To The Lions, on The Survivor
