This was an interesting read. MI16 and their experiments with the latest technology, this story was engrossing. Xavier Baxter leads quite an interesting life as a DS until he was shot in the head. He wakes up six months later to find that his bodily functions - sleep and other things - are correct to a clockwork. He soon learns that a part of his brain was damaged during the shoot out and a chip has been inserted in place to take over the 'subconscious' actions of the body. As he is trained and sent as a spy, something goes wrong. Will this result in the end of the multi-million-dollar MI16 project?

I loved the concept! The first part of the story is about Xavier's rehabilitation while the second is about him infiltrating the agency. The second part looked a tad hurried-up and I wish there were more details as to Xavier's spying.

I do hope to read more of Xavier's adventures.

Overall Rating: 4.25/5

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a pretty good spy, sfi thriller. Our hero is an ex cop who gets shot during the line of duty. He is reawakened by a secret faction in the government called MII6. The science unit. Our hero is now functioning through an implanted computer in his brain. He tries to run but he can't survive without powering up. He begins to trust the group of scientists who give him autonomy and learns how to strengthen his mind and body to fight against terrorism.
I thought it was a well written, action packed story that at times did stuck in too many details before diving into the action. Even so worth reading.

What if everyone in your life thought you were dead? What would you do? The Devil's Breath offers one answer:join a secret organization! The story is lively and thrilling. It kept my interest. The characters are likeable and engaging. This is a good read overall. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

OOO mystery and intrigue awaits those who read this series. Your dead or at least everyone in your life thinks you are, what do you do but join some mysterious underground secret agency. Full of surprises and twists that leave you wondering did I miss this somewhere ? Loved it.

Interesting and catchy reading material..
The plot and the characters were interesting and I hope soon there will be another book in the series and we will learn more about Xavier and the Attic.
