London is under attack. People are dead. Many more lives hang in the balance as a group of highly trained gunmen storm the historic Stanhope Hotel on Park Lane. The gunmen have given the government just five hours to meet their demands before they blow up the building. Shots ring out. Some guests panic. Others text their loved ones.
Still more try to escape. All are united by one thing: fear for their lives. All - except one man who has information so dangerous that it must be kept safe - at any price. Darkness falls. The gunmen become increasingly violent. One question is in everybody's minds. Will they survive the night?

"'Siege' was a truly awesome thriller (in the mayhem & explosions sense of the word) that took a generic premise and turned it into a first-class thriller. The book took place over a tense few hours as terrorists, police, civilians and a surprised hit-man played a tense cat-and-mouse game inside a large London hotel. Simon Kernick not only kept the plot moving fast throughout, but deftly kept the logistics (dozens of characters, multiple locations and various sub-plots) from slowing the thrilling ride to the finish. I had never heard of Simon Kernick before picking thriller up at the library, but now I can't wait to read his next book." — Stefan (5 out of 5 stars)

" Absolutely amazing. You really feel for the characters and the action never stops... I literally couldn't put this down. Highly reccomended! "
" I loved this book. As with all his books, this one keeps you hanging and you just can't put it down. I read it in 2 days. Absolutely fabulous. "
" Great story & fast paced like all kernick books. "
" Thrill a minute writing "
" Another gripping book by Mr Kernick. Could not put it down !! I wasn't sure how a hotel siege would fill a whole book but loved the characters and their differing lives. "
" This book would make a good movie.... "
" Five word review: Terrorists take hotel. Ends predictably. "
" It was a resonable read but nothing amazing or surprising, was disappointed with the character I just couldn't warm to them sorry. "
" Simon Kernick writes some terrific thrillers and this is no exception. A group of terrorists and mercenaries plan a Mumbai style attack on a London hotel. The pace is relentless, as is the body count. It's fast it's furious and a pleasure to lose yourself in a book for a day. "
" Started Siege this morning and just finished it, couldn't put it down all day, absolutely riveting stuff, this is the first book of Simon's that I've read. It certainly will not be the last! "
" Like his last novel I read it pulled me in and it flew passed I'm a blur. Kernick's style of short punchy chapters leaves you no time to breathe. I was hooked from the very start. Brilliant read. "
" A good page turner with credible action though the characters and their back stories seemed a bit simplistic. Not his best. "
" Suspenseful page turner!! "
" Short chapters make this a compelling, page turning read. Be prepared to read into the early hours and not put down until you have finished. Excellent mix of suspense and action, and probably slightly less of a boyish read than the rest of the series. Highly recommend. "
" Seriously considered leaving this on the train. "
" I liked this book a lot. "
" A fast paced thriller that was a page turner with a nice twist in the middle ... personally i liked Fox & thought there could be future stories about his character ... However, i did think the ending felt rather rushed but the build up was good & i'd finished it within a couple of day's. "
" My favourite book by Simon Kernick so far, I loved all the characters and the plot was original and as fast paced as all his other books, brilliant "
