Reviews:
The Long Shadow of Panjshir is a brilliantly up to date thrilling read - The 39 Steps - of 2023 - These are real words that paint real pictures of Afghanistan - You feel the heat, the sand and the tension as though you were part of this exclusive intelligence service, an uncanny and prophetic tale written by someone who has been there and done that.
W T Delaney has done it again.
The 4th book, a standalone albeit with a few familiar characters, has a great mix of Russian, Afghan and British characters SF and spies plenty of tradecraft and action to keep you entertained.
Mr. Delaney is a former Commando with special duties experience and a wealth of knowledge in this field that he brings to the book.
do yourself a favour and read it, then go back and read his others; you won't be disappointed 5 stars.
Military Thriller Book Group - 5.0 out of 5 stars Another winner from W.T
In W.T Delaney's latest, "The Long Shadow of Panjshir", we follow along as the murder of British assets connects to a former Spetsnaz turned intelligence agent who has vital information on Russia's plan in the Ukraine and her plan to return to Afghanistan's Panjshir valley for a final mission. If that seems like a bit much for one novel, you couldn't be more wrong. Delaney is a new master of wrapping intelligence operational details and exciting action into a complex but compelling story. The first half is intelligence tradecraft heavy as Delaney sets us up for the action packed last half. Characters Mac and Katya's complicated relationship is a pleasure to experience along with MI6's wheeling and dealing to see their mission through to the end. Another must read from Mr. Delaney.
WOW...another amazing GRIPPING book written by a brilliant writer. I had been waiting for this new release and it certainly didn’t disappoint. This would make a brilliant FILM!
Delaney is a new master of wrapping intelligence operational details and exciting action into a complex but compelling story. This turned out to be one of those gems of indie publishing and also everything I look for in a thriller. Like a mix of Frederick Forsyth and Chris Ryan, W.T. Delaney is a must read for fans of UK thrillers. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author. - Bestselling US thriller author, Ross Sidor.
