Smith When I first started reading Beyond The Law; Retribution I was confused by the bewildering array of characters introduced every few pages before I realised that most readers would already be familiar with many, having been introduced to them in the first book, Beyond The Law. So although this follow up can stand on its own and it is not absolutely vital to read the first book in the series, it certainly helps. And rest assured that the purchase of both books provides more than adequate entertainment value for money.When I got to the chapter named “Easterhouse, Glasgow, Scotland” suddenly everything became much more alive for me, and from then onwards I did not have to look back to remind myself about the players involved. This is not to say that I didn’t enjoy the narrative before this point. I did. Especially the poetical proximity of sex and death in two scenes which very naturally follow on from each other. But the “Easterhouse” chapter was particularly well done with its depiction of drug dealers, and I am sure that the true to life detail is provided solely by this writer’s penchant for exhaustive research.It is unnecessary for me to write about the story itself, as this has already been amply covered by other reviewers and by the description. The methods used by the characters to inflict violence and death upon each other were an eye opener even for the somewhat jaded eyes of this reviewer. These methods are extremely creative and intriguing, and if this be your pleasure then you are in for a treat. But there is an over-riding aspect that I am anxious to dwell on, and it is this; the narrative of this book would do extremely well in movie form, where the focus is on creating enough interest in every scene to hold the attention of the countless aficionados of the action movie who revel in entertainment that moves at break- neck speed and where the storyline is not that important. So I think that Tom Benson should also consider channelling his abilities into screenwriting based not only on his talent for quick-fire edge of the seat action sequences but also on his ability to make each action scene different; each scene is detailed and meticulous in its construction when it comes to setting it up and playing it out to maximum impact, easily lending itself to movie making. I would urge this writer to continue writing these books but also to consider branching out into screenwriting. An august institution such as The London School Of Journalism has excellent courses available to learn the technical aspects of screenplay presentation, and I myself have benefitted from its other distance learning courses in the past. So hark closely, Tom Benson, for Hollywood beckons!

By Rudders This is a retribution themed novel once again dealing with those criminals whose cunning and resources enable them to operate beyond the constraints of the judiciary and elude the regular forces of law and order. Such is the violence and ruthlessness of such men it takes an equally resourceful and ruthless approach in dealing with such criminals, cue the reappearance of ex SAS operative Phil McKenzie aka the Hawk, and his unique band of cohorts collectively now known as BTL (Beyond the Law) enterprises. Hawk and his associates are every bit as ruthless as the criminals they face, with the added advantages of the very best military training in weapons, field-craft, and covert operations. Operating as they do outside normal police investigation and procedure they can’t be openly supported by the regular police, but they can still draw on the covert support of the British intelligence services and their unofficial police contacts, as well as here, some more 'unconventional' allies.Our introduction to Phil McKenzie and the formation of BTL enterprises was dealt with in the prequel to this book. Although there is sufficient explanation and references to the past to allow it to read perfectly well as a stand-alone book I would still recommend reading the prequel first to enjoy it to its full; as well as being re-acquainted with ex SAS operative Hawk, the attractive ex intelligence operative Annabel, the equally stunning motor bike riding Rachael, former pick-pocket Jake, and one or two others, several new colourful characters are added to the mix: Max, the leader of biker gang the Mental Riders, and Intelligence operative and linguistics expert, Ian, to name but two. There are also some pretty brutal and sadistic new villains as well in the shape psychopathic twin brothers.The story kicks off with the audacious escape from prison custody of Martin Cameron, who within minutes of his escape embarks on his vicious return to crime and violence; determined to re-establish and expand his control of all of Scotland's major criminal activities, there follows a bloody trail of violence and dead bodies along the way; he also plans his painful and sadistic revenge on the man responsible for his imprisonment, Phil McKenzie. What he isn't aware of though is just how eager someone else is for equally sadistic vengeance against him or indeed just how better organised and equipped Phil McKenzie and his organisation are now. In the interim, Martin Cameron's plans to organise a massive drug shipment into Scotland once again bring him to the attention of one of the Hawk's former cohorts despite being on the other side of the world at the time.This is what Tom Benson does best, drawing on his own military experience and memories of growing up on the hard streets of Glasgow, coupled with a true story teller’s imagination. Once again, the author’s attention to plot detail and consistency rivals that of say a Frederick Forsythe novel, and is handled with the same careful planning as the covert operations of the story. The precise levels of detail related to weaponry, covert surveillance, and urban and rural field-craft are excellent, enough to place the reader right there with the characters but not so much to distract from the main story or bog the reader down. The characters are well-developed by way of the gritty and realistic dialogue and the things they do. I also enjoyed seeing how some of the characters had evolved since first encountering them in the prequel, and I must say, the writing here is even sharper and more streamlined than before. I was also impressed at how Phil McKenzie took more of a 'behind the scenes' role here, allowing some of the other characters to really come into their own rather than relying just on him to carry the story. As always, Tom Benson rounds up the conclusion and loose ends most effectively, and leaves the reader with a tantalising hint of another sequel. The way the story is structured and has evolved from the prequel could lend this two book series (so far) to a whole series of books along the lines of Lee child's 'Jack Reacher' series...*purchased via Amazon.co.uk, hence not appearing here as a verified purchase.

The answer in the case of Beyond the Law – Retribution is a resounding YES, although both books are brilliant. In the sequel all the main characters have developed in the intervening years. Then they team up with an unlikely group – a very rough motorcycle gang. The mutual respect that develops between our highly specialised covert operatives and the gang is pleasing to see. As you would expect from Tom Benson, the baddies are the worst kind of vicious lowlifes topping even the worst crimes they committed in the first book. The ante is definitely raised, the suspense gripping and the reader has to hang on for dear life. This book is not for the faint-hearted. I loved it, as I did the first and hoping that a third is underway. These characters are too good to leave resting for long.
