Overview
Danny Pearson is trying to build a normal life. He's got a house in Walthamstow, a permanent role at Greenwood Security, and the scars from his last mission are finally starting to fade. But when a British intelligence officer calls in a favour, Danny is sent to Vienna on what should be a simple retrieval job - pick up a package, bring it home. Nothing about it is simple. The package contains evidence of a global conspiracy: a shadowy group known only as 'the board' has been quietly seizing control of the world's most powerful energy companies. Hydrogen power, battery technology, oil - they're buying it all, and anyone who gets in their way disappears. A journalist is dead in Hong Kong. A British agent has been murdered. And now a lethal contract killer known as the Chinaman - a ghost who uses ancient weapons and leaves no trace - is hunting Danny and the one woman who can expose the truth. From a pirate attack in the Gulf of Aden to a deadly pursuit through the streets of Vienna, from the corridors of Whitehall to the boardrooms of Silicon Valley and a firefight in the mountains of Montana, Danny is drawn into a web of power, betrayal, and murder that reaches into the highest levels of government on both sides of the Atlantic. With MI6 compromised and enemies closing in from every direction, Danny must rely on his lethal SAS training, his closest allies, and his own instincts to survive - and to stop a conspiracy that could reshape the balance of global power forever. Who Holds The Power is the third instalment in the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series. A globe-trotting, high-stakes thriller with a chilling villain, explosive action, and a conspiracy that will keep you guessing until the final page. Perfect for fans of Andy McNab, Chris Ryan, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy.

Author Information
Stephen Taylor spent over twenty years wiring up homes and businesses with audio visual kit before the big 50 started looming and he finally sat down to write the book he'd always had rattling around in his head. That book was Execution of Faith - a supercharged, no-nonsense thriller that hit the ground running and never looked back. Readers loved it so much he wrote a prequel, Vodka Over London Ice, which became the first in what is now the internationally bestselling Danny Pearson series.Raised on a diet of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, and Tom Wood's Victor - with a healthy side serving of Die Hard, Daniel Craig's Bond, and anything Guy Ritchie ever pointed a camera at - Stephen writes the kind of thrillers he wants to read: hard, fast, no filler, and with enough humour to keep you grinning between the gunfights.The Danny Pearson series has found fans across the world who love action that doesn't let up and a hero who's as handy with a one-liner as he is with his fists. If you like your thrillers with the throttle wide open, you're in the right place.
