It’s New Year’s Eve. A major terrorist cell is planning a series of attacks across London over the next forty-eight hours. The government has surveillance on the group, a man undercover, and prepare to move in, to take out the terrorists before they can strike. But they lose contact with their inside man. And the cell vanishes into thin air, dispersing into the streets, armed and intent on completing their assault on London. The best Counter-Terrorist teams in the country are told to take them down before it's too late.
Nine terrorists.
Nine lives.
The Armed Response Unit is one of these teams. Efficient and ruthless, the task force is ordered to locate the leader of the cell. As they hunt him down, they begin to realise that this is far bigger than any of them could ever have imagined. Bombings, rocket attacks, betrayal and a series of unexpected and shocking twists leave the ARU fighting to stay alive.
There's Archer, the youngest member of the team, keen to prove himself and justify his spot on the task force. His best friend, Chalky, who is forced to fight both the terrorists and his own demons. Porter, Deakins and Fox, tough and experienced men who’ve never dealt with anything of this magnitude. And Mac, their sergeant, who must make the quickest of decisions and lead his men against the invisible enemy.
As events unfold, other people are drawn into the danger. The Prime Minister, desperately trying to find a solution and protect the capital. A mysterious female Mossad agent, who appears out of nowhere and joins the fight against the cell. Two Special Agents from the DEA, one of whom was a member of the SEAL team that stormed Osama Bin Laden’s compound and who for some reason is struggling with the memory. And the vicious, powerful leader of a Middle Eastern drug cartel, who operates in the shadows and is somehow connected to the terrorists.
With crowds all over London celebrating the New Year, and with nine terrorists somewhere amongst them, the Armed Response Unit is faced with the most dangerous night of their lives. As the savage, shocking plans of the enemy are fully revealed, the ARU officers are faced with the ultimate question.
How many times can a man cheat Death before Death evens the score?
Nine Lives Sam Archer Book 1 edition by Tom Barber Literature Fiction eBooks
Terrorist attacks in London is one heck of a way to ring in the New Year! True to the countdown theme that pervades the pages of this book, the tension steadily builds as the clock ticks down to midnight. Despite being a trifle hackneyed in characterizations, Nine Lives is an action-filled, classic style "heroic good guys vs. cold-hearted bad guys" book that reads as if watching it on film. It is quick and vivid and seamlessly flows from scene to scene as Barber latches on and never lets his reader go.When UK and US government agencies band together in a joint venture to stop a series of terrorist attacks upon the citizens of London, the continuous play of action and suspense is quite realistic and well presented, and I, for one, found the ending to be particularly satisfying. This book is most entertaining and I happily anticipate reading more of the Sam Archer series.

Nine Lives Sam Archer Book 1 edition by Tom Barber Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book is a Mystery/Thriller with Terrorism/Counter-terrorism and International Intrigue.
As the last day of the year unfolds, so does a terrorist plot. The Prime Minister calls in a recently formed, hand-picked unit, the ARU, The ARU alongside the DEA track down the nine members of the terrorist group. Will they be in time to stop them or will destruction and mayhem abound? You'll have to read to the end to find out.
I enjoyed rooting for the ARU as they were trying to track down the terrorists. I could see this being a made for TV movie. There were also some twists and turns that weren't apparent until the final reveal.
Warning This book is for Mature Audiences due to Drugs, Violence, and Adult Language.
My rating system works like this 1 star - stinks, 2 stars - got through it, 3 stars - average, 4 stars - hey, this was pretty darn good!, 5 stars - superb, couldn't stop reading, what day is it?
So this was a 4 star; excellent storyline (plot), good character development without being a psychobabble piece, quirky observations, heroic vs villainous pairings, just a really good read. This is a debut effort and show a great deal of promise. Setting and language is British, but not unbearably so and easy reading for me, a colonial Canadian. The odd Yank makes an "in character" appearance as well. Good job, Tom!
This could probably be subtitled a primer on terror tactics, and quite frankly had a bit more gore and violence than is my cup of chai. That doesn't prevent me from recognizing the author's ability to write a good action-packed book with well-described characters (and a couple who are too despicable for words).
There is minor allusion to political fallout and some soul-searching regarding the genesis of home-grown terrorism; motivation however was merely described, and I never felt deeply about the rationale the author presented.
The reader receives quite a tutorial on weapons, explosives and all manner of nasty scenarios. As is true in many movies of this genre, some of the close calls and coincidences defied belief.
Aside from the odd tenses which to which another alluded --- my addition would be "he had arose" where Americans would say "had arisen" or simply "he arose"---I only noted two typos "increment weather" and "it would have been a synch" for cinch.
I have downloaded a couple more in the series and will see if the excess of violence continues.
Nine Lives (Sam Archer Book 1)
When I first got this book was when it was free but did not read it right away—had too many other books to read first. Then this past month I joined Unlimited and saw where this series falls under this category. So I decided to start reading the series since I could read them all at once. I don’t usually like to read a series unless there are a lot already published because I hate waiting for the next book to be written.
All I can say about this series is “WOW”! I put this book right up there with the Bourn series. I read the Bourn series years before they even thought making it into a movie. I can really see this series being made into movies too. I could hardly believe that such a young author wrote this book and that this was his first book. When I said that I put this right up there with the Bourn series it is not because the story lines are similar (they aren’t) but because the Bourn series was my all time favorite thriller series and I didn’t think I would ever like a thriller series as much—but this one is fast becoming my favorite.
As a previous customer mentioned, it puzzled me why this first book was listed as a Sam Archer Series but don’t let that stop you from reading it—because as you read more of the series he does play a much bigger part. The first book just gives you a good feel of who he is and what he is all about.
This story takes place in England and is about an Armed Response Unit. Sam Archer is part of this unit and is the youngest member and the least experience. But even so he is able to hold his own with the rest of the team. A terrorist cell decides to create a series of attacks all over London in less than 24 hours. It is the job of the Armed Response Unit to find and stop them. The action is non-stop and the tension rises as you wonder if and how these attacks will be stopped. There are many twists and turns to this story but the biggest surprise comes toward the end. You will have to read the story to find out what the surprise is.
This is a stand alone story and very little foul language—you might find an odd word but not many and no F words at all. There are no steamy sex scenes which I really do appreciate. Now I am about to start the 4th book in the series.
Terrorist attacks in London is one heck of a way to ring in the New Year! True to the countdown theme that pervades the pages of this book, the tension steadily builds as the clock ticks down to midnight. Despite being a trifle hackneyed in characterizations, Nine Lives is an action-filled, classic style "heroic good guys vs. cold-hearted bad guys" book that reads as if watching it on film. It is quick and vivid and seamlessly flows from scene to scene as Barber latches on and never lets his reader go.
When UK and US government agencies band together in a joint venture to stop a series of terrorist attacks upon the citizens of London, the continuous play of action and suspense is quite realistic and well presented, and I, for one, found the ending to be particularly satisfying. This book is most entertaining and I happily anticipate reading more of the Sam Archer series.
