Summary
'I am a British soldier,' I told my reflection. 'I am a British soldier and I'm saving lives. I'm saving lives. I'm a British soldier and I'm saving lives....'
Kevin Fulton was one of the British Army's most successful intelligence agents. Having been recruited to infiltrate the Provisional IRA at the height of the Troubles, he rose its ranks to an unprecedented level. Living and working undercover, he had no option other than to take part in heinous criminal activities, including the production of bombs which he knew would later kill. So highly was he valued by IRA leaders that he was promoted to serve in its infamous internal police - ironically, his job was now to root out and kill informers.
Until one day in 1994, when it all went wrong....
Fleeing Northern Ireland, Kevin was abandoned by the security services he had served so courageously and left to live as a fugitive. The life of a double agent requires constant vigilance, for danger is always just a heartbeat away. For a double agent within the highest ranks of the IRA, that danger was doubled. In this remarkable account, Kevin Fulton - former intelligence agent, ex-member of the IRA - tells a truth that is as uncomfortable as it is gripping.

Gripping
A very interesting look inside the workings of the IRA. Kevin Fulton seemed to enjoy the violence whilst using the excuse that he was saving lives. I as the reader felt like it didn't really matter which side he was batting for, as long as he got to play with bullets and bombs.

bad fake accent but content excellent
would have given 5 stars, but the fake northern ireland accent was very hard to listen to, especially being from Ireland and close to the border. could hear the UK accent coming through a lot. great insight into the troubles though!

A really great listen! Gripping
A gripping story. Gives great insight into the troubles. A most enjoyable listen. The accent is a terrribly poor take-off of a Northern Irish accent, really bad, you'd wonder why they wouldn't just have hired a Northern Irish Narrator?

Gripping and Outstanding!
Rare l write a review, this is a fantastic insight into a war That was dictated as much by terrorist as it was staged by security forces. Another poor individual that was manipulated by his intelligence handlers! An epic account of an informer

Worth it
Well written & narrated. Exciting but also disturbing to know that this is the way the government and its security forces operate

Cripping and yet depressing
Wonderful.. Unlike other reviewers I think the narrator did a good job. The story is both sad and entertaining.

Excellently read and very exciting book
I loved the true story of Fulton the reader told it so well ,
As much as him betraying Ireland disgusted me the snake definitely deserves to be paid out by his countries enemy (the brits)
Don’t like that terrorists who are loyalists like stone are referred to simply as loyalist Micheal stone whereas nationalists like the Gibraltar thee are called terrorists , I guess that’s just the typical brits for you eh

Narrator’s accent is annoying, but ....
once you get used to that. What a fascinating listen. The writer did an amazing job of describing the moral dilemmas Mr Fulton faced. Edge of the seat stuff, I hope the guy gets the recognition he deserves for his bravery and service.

A gripping and thrilling listen
Brilliantly written and narrated. listening brought back memories of watching the aftermath of the atrocities committed on the news. I salute the brave men who risked their lives and feel contempt for those who did not stand by them when promised.
