Divide & Conquer Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 1,272 ratings

When ex-CIA operative Sean Fox returns from Afghanistan, he's expecting an easy life. As far as everyone who knew him is concerned, he's already dead.
And as far as the Mexican drug cartel and the Russians are concerned, dead is what he should be.

Within hours of what should have been a relaxing homecoming, Sean is fighting the greatest battle of his life and trying desperately to save the wife and child of a man he never knew.

Divide & Conquer is the action packed opener to a scintillating new series...

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I write action thrillers - fast paced and action packed with a plot that will keep you enthralled and intrigued right up until the shocking ending.

If that sounds like your type of book, you're in the right place!

I have also written a more erotic thriller, just as exciting but building to a different type of action :) under the name M.K. McDonald (Voyeur)

    The idea for this novel is a little weird and could easily have become very confusing in the hands of an unskilled writer. However Andy seems to pull it off seamlessly, which is a huge achievement for someone who I think is probably self published.

    The story has a great pace and is full of good action that keeps you turning the pages. For the price this book is a total steal and I couldn't recommend it more highly. It has a flavour of some of the big authors like Vince Flynn, Lee Child and a little Brad Thour.

    The kindle has opened the doors to thousands of authors that can deliver there work to us readers cheaply and effectively and boy it is a good feeling when you finish a book that hasn't cost the earth and has delivered in every way.

    Personally I can't wait for the next book from this author. The big authors can keep their highly over priced offerings when the little guys are writing such good novels.

    Give it ago you wont be disappointed!

    Picked this up to read on a day when the weather was crap and nothing else to do. Whilst it is not a Lee Child or Vince Flynn i think it has potential. It is all in there cia ,fbi, homeland security and all the nasty drug dealers you could ask for. All in all a real all action but of escapism for a day. A bargain for what i paid for it lol.

    This is the second book I have read by this author and the pace of it does not disappoint. Another great read with lots of action. The story lines in both books are well thought out and imaginative. This makes them entertaining and a "must finish" read . It is so absorbing I felt I needed to be fit to keep up with the pace of the hero!

    This is the first Murray McDonald book I have read and I did enjoy his style of writing. The 3 separate plots took a while to get the hang off but about a third of the way through this book really took off. It's fast paced and full of action even if pretty unbelievable and a touch mish mashed. There are plenty of little cliffhangers that rather than build suspense alienated me as the reader from parts of the Russian story. Admittedly it was the cartel side of the book that kept me hooked.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking Conspiracy and Electrifying Plot
    Reviewed in the United States on 21 June 2012
    Divide and Conquer grabbed my attention from the very beginning and continued to deliver non-stop action, intelligent twists and unparalleled conspiracy. Despite some well-placed and clever clues, I was blown away by the shocking "reveal" in the final scene. I was convinced that I had a complete handle on the full scope of the conspiracy driving the story, but it goes deeper. Way deeper.

    Sean Fox, a dedicated covert operative, returns to the U.S. from a long stint fighting the Taliban in the mountains of Afghanistan. He's focused on one thing. A permanent beach vacation. He's through fighting, having served the CIA faithfully for years. There's only one problem with his arrival. Sean Fox was killed three months ago by a ruthless Mexican cartel boss just south of the Texas border. Not only does his sudden rebirth confound customs officials and the FBI, his arrival triggers long forgotten alarms deep inside the most secretive intelligence agencies within the U.S. and Russia. What follows is an incredible journey, as Sean struggles to unravel his own mystery, while dodging skilled Spetznaz assassins and brutal Mexican cartel hit men.

    Choosing the violent and shady world of Mexican drug cartels serves as a unique and refreshing background for a story based on Cold War conspiracy. All of the players are out of their usual element, with the exception of the drug cartel thugs. The back and forth action between Fox and the cartels is brilliant, culminating in an incredible showdown worthy of a screenplay. The focus gradually shifts from the immediate survival of Sean Fox and his "twin" brother's family, to a Russian conspiracy that rivals anything I have previously read. As Sean Fox and his American brethren start to put the pieces together, the fear of renewed Cold War quickly surfaces. The truth is much more sinister and devastating.

    Divide and Conquer is the second novel I've read by Murray McDonald. I look forward to reading his remaining offering, Critical Error, and eagerly await any future releases. It has been a pleasure to discover a refreshing new author in the techno thriller genre, and I would recommend this book to any thriller readers interested in well written, fast paced action.

    Be prepared for dinner to be late, better yet prepare it in advance to starting this book because you wont want to put it down.
    Once I started nothing else mattered until it was finished, I had to know.
