Sami Macbeth is not a master criminal. He's not even a minor one. He's not a jewel thief. He's not a safe-cracker. He's not an expert in explosives. Sami plays guitar and wants to be a rock god but keeps getting side-tracked by unforeseen circumstances.

Fifty-four hours ago Sami was released from prison. Thirty-six hours ago he slept with the woman of his dreams at the Savoy. An hour ago his train blew up. Now he's carrying a rucksack through London's West End and has turned himself into the most-wanted terrorist in the country.

Fast, funny, hip, and violent, Bombproof is a nonstop adventure full of unforgettable characters and a heartwarming hero - Sami Macbeth - a man with the uncanny ability to turn a desperate situation into a hopeless one.

I couldnt put this book down!

Reviewed in Australia on 17 January 2020

This author is quite new to me, but having read the first book, I just had to keep reading! These books are different to most others, as they are gripping, realistic and believable. If you enjoy reading on the edge of your seat, this book is for you. I hope he keeps writing for a long time to come!

Bombproof

Reviewed in Australia on 30 July 2016

Sami has a knack of being in the right place at the wrong time and always seems to dig himself deeper into trouble. All he really wants is to become a rock god and look after his younger sister. But Nadia is missing and every move to find her puts him deeper and deeper in trouble.

Bombproof is a gritty, coarse and satirical story of London’s criminal underbelly and how an ordinary guy, who just wanted to play guitar, brought them unstuck.

Robotham has mixed a colourful, well developed cast of characters with a storyline that will make you squirm and hold your breath leading up to an adrenalin pumping finish.

Go on, read it. Good fun.

This is not the usual Robotham. But none the worse for that.

If you want a totally plausible 'conventional' crime drama, and your corsets are so tightly laced you can hardly breath let alone dare laugh, then perhaps avoid. The 1 star reviews cover this ground well.

So no it's not completely serious and if you take it as such you'll be wasting your money, and missing a treat. Yes it's a police drama but 'not as we know it Captain'.

This book gripped me more than any other in the series, held me, delivered chortle after chortle, and the occasional outright laugh.

Not the best from this author

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2018

When choosing a tense thriller Mr Robotham is near the top of my list. Not this time though I'm sad to say. Doesn't compare with the O'Laughlin series and suffers for it lacking the reflection and contrast provided in the Joe O and Vincent Ruiz pairing. Plot is terrible also. Very poor, reads like an imitation Lee Child. Gets a third star only because is written by Robotham who can and hopefully will do better and return to form.

Well shy of his best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2010

The improbable tale here killed this book for me. We have an innocent guy (Sami Macbeth) just released from prison, having completed his term. He searches for his missing sister, remains in non-stop trouble, gets involved in what appears to be terrorist activity and escapes from incredible situations multiple times.

The now retired detective Ruiz also features as someone who tries to help Sami. We also have corruption and a number of unanswered questions. There are a couple of good lines in the book but the writing lacks richness and the characterizations the author is usually able to develop.

I finished Robotham's "Shatter' not too long ago; "Bombproof' is a long way off the standard Robotham set in that book and others prior to it. 7/10

So disappointing!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2016

I'm a great fan of Michael Robotham's O'Loughlin novels, so bought this looking forward to similar sensitive, authentic, high quality writing. But this could have been rattled off by a completely different author. One with scant regard not only for his readers' intelligence but also for plausibility of plot and characterisation.

I read it to the end out of curiosity and to see just how silly the finale would be. But I started skimming at about the three quarter mark when it became clear that all hope of realism had been cheerfully abandoned. Substituted by Hollywood-style action, with the cliche scenarios accelerating in frequency.

I could understand if this had been a very early novel. But the inclusion of Ruiz and the references to his friend O'Loughlin clearly show that it post-dates at least one of them.

Written to a deadline for a quick payoff perhaps? But at what risk to his reputation with previous fans like me!

Martin

Mr. Robotham does it again.

A true page turner. If you have read his books before you will not be disappointed. If you have not, ENJOY!!!
