Counter Attack: A Gripping Spy Thriller (Tom Marlowe Spy Thrillers Book 4) Kindle Edition
The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Tom Marlowe series continues!
Some debts can only be repaid in blood.
British MI5 “Section D” agent Tom Marlowe has been burnt, his Security Services clearance restricted, and his protection from foreign agencies in discussion.
Now back in Whitehall following the events of Covert Action, Marlowe is the bottom of the ladder again, doing the jobs nobody else wants, while keeping his nose clean. But secretly, he's been returned to full status - weapons hot - and has been tasked with infiltrating a secret Government intelligence network which links back to Victorian times... and the creation of MI5 itself.
But with the clock ticking, Marlowe's off-the-books team must tread carefully - as one misstep could expose them all. From billionaires to conspiracy theorists, hackers to mercenaries, Marlowe's hunt takes him across Europe and America, culminating in a final face-off in Washington DC during a Presidential Debate. As alliances fray and a global conflict looms, Marlowe and his team must throw away the rulebook to win... but at what cost? Will they pay with their lives, their careers, or even their souls?
One thing is certain though... some debts can only be repaid in blood...
The fourth book in the critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling series of Tom Marlowe thrillers, written by New York Times #1 Bestseller Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, Counter Attack is perfect for fans of the Bourne movies, Burn Notice, Jack Ryan, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, Lee Child, Mick Herron and Robert Ludlum, among others.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023First, I need to say that for any Brit, you need to know that the Revolutionary War and the Civil War are 2 different wars and the Confederate soldiers were only in the Civil War.
There, that being said, This is an incredible read. If you are a “boomer” like me, you will probably need a younger person to explain some things….but it is simple enough to figure most of it out.
A surprise at most every turn. I am really beginning to like Mr. Marlowe.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2023Holy cow! What a great plot, and what great action! Truly a fun and tense read. Ready for Book 5, Mr. Gatland!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2025Tom Marlowe is asked to get a small team together. infiltrate Orchid and shut it down. Very twisted story and plenty of mystery. Enjoyed reading this story.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2024Extremely nice read. Action pack from the first page. Looking forward to the next book in the series. They keep getting better and better.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024Tried to get used to this author's style ,theme of series initially appealing,now just repetitive ,insertion of video games totally a turn off. No more for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Counter Attack -
This was the fourth book in the series and was as good as the previous three. Whilst you could read this as a stand-alone book, I would really suggest that you start at book 1 and read them all. Some of the previous storylines would provide you with more understand about the plot within this book. Tom and his crew are at it again, up against Orchid, but also with Rubicon, MI5, MI6 and CIA around the edges. Who can he trust, including within his own team? Can he bring down Orchid and save the world from a multi billionaire trying to run the world. It’s an action packed, page turner which comes to a proper conclusion at the end. 5 out of 5 from me. I’ll be downloaded the next in the series.
