About this listen
London is under attack.
People are dead. Many more lives hang in the balance as a group of highly trained gunmen storm the historic Lanchester Hotel on Park Lane.
The gunmen have given the government just five hours to meet their demands before they blow up the building. Shots ring out. Some guests panic. Others text their loved ones. Still more try to escape. All are united by one thing: fear for their lives. All - except one man who has information so dangerous that it must be kept safe - at any price.
Darkness falls. The gunmen become increasingly violent. One question is in everybody's minds. Will they survive the night?

full of energy and intrigue
Paul Thornley reads Simon Kerinck's book, Siege with pace that adds to the intriguing story of a hotel held by armed raiders.
The characters are developed quickly and efficiently and hold the interest of the listener.
I will be reading more by this author and looking out for books narrated by Paul Thornley.

Simon Kernick at top speed
Typical offering from Simon K, fast paced, rambling and complicated. The plot doesn’t have the clarity of most of his work and it ends leaving the reader with questions that would have created a more complete and satisfying story. Great yarn but not his best.

Better than some not as good as others
Not that many twists in this book but I have to say it's still kept you in suspense.
I really like the fact that you ended up siding with some baddies but not with other baddies. I didn't like the fact that all the voices merged into one another
Overall a good book and well worth the credit

good thriller
Looking at the negative reviews on this book I ask myself were we dealing with the same story. Of course it's nonsense - it's entertainment - a way of passing the time in an enjoyable manner. And I enjoyed this book thoroughly. Tightly paced, admittedly cliched characters and a plotline which stretches credulity but, one of those stories you can't wait to see what happens next. Oh yes - and very good narration.

First class thriller.
This is a thriller whose pace increases and tensions tighten with every chapter. Bravo to the author for some genuinely strong and interesting female as well as male characters. The writing is matched by an excellent reader who voices the characters beautifully.

Gripping
I listened from start to finish in about 5 days. I could really imagine myself being there experiencing everything with the characters. Really good entertainment

Gripping tale, wonderfully narrated
This is the first audio book of Simon Kernick's I have listened to, and it won't be the last. It tells the story of a hotel taken over by a group of terrorists, it was so brilliantly narrated by Paul Thornley that I felt that I was actually there and at times I was quite frightened. The story involves quite a few characters and tells of how their lives all merge together when staying at the hotel. A brilliant and gripping story. Thoroughly enjoyed.
