Why read it?
1 author picked The Peak as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Peak is a character driven international thriller with the moral ambiguity of the espionage world and the high stakes of geopolitics wrapped around a tale of friendship and loyalty.
It was great to read an Australian angle in a political/espionage thriller, especially one that incorporates China, Hong Kong, and modern geopolitical tensions. And with well-fleshed out characters and a quasi coming-of-age story set alongside the main plot, it made for compelling and addictive reading. Bonus points for the great soundtrack!
