I had promised myself to read the next Tom Gray book after my disappointment with Gray Justice. So I did as promised and tackled Gray Resurrection only to be even more disappointed than the first instalment. It's a shame as I enjoy the Gray characterisation but the peripheral characters are very poor. The hostages themselves are so weakly portrayed. The women journo who just so happens is an expert on Gray so recognized his voice along with the Al Qaeda man who just so happened to be the same one who launched a previous attack on Gray in Sussex. This time they all end up on some tiny island in the Philippines. As happens, right? Tom Gray now known as Sam Grant has started a new life in the Philippines, complements of the British government. As he settles into his new life with a new business and girlfriend he finds himself kidnapped by a Muslim terrorist group who want a ransom for his return. However, his one British contact, Major Ferrar has other ideas. In reality the British government wants Tom/Sam to disappear so there will be no embarrassment in the future. Not only do they want Tom/Sam to disappear but they have been silently killing off his former army pals. Tom/Sam finds all this out accidentally but how he decides to deal with it will not be accidental.Lots of blood and guts but for a very good cause!
This is #2 in the Tom Gray series. The stories are great, but some of the writing is too simple
