Cage of Traitors is the third of books about Mark Pierce, otherwise known as The Trigger Man. It is a very complicated story which I think would have made much more sense if I had read the first three. If you had read the first three, you will probably enjoy this one, but--spoiler alert--you will be very anxious for the next one when you are finished. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc with no pressure for a positive review.

"Cage of Traitors" is an action-packed thrill ride that keeps you hooked from the first page. Aiden Bailey masterfully weaves a complex plot with plenty of twists and turns. Mark Pierce's struggle with amnesia and his relentless pursuit of the truth makes for a gripping read.

The story's fast pace and intense action scenes are its strong points. Pierce's interactions with Amelia add depth and intrigue, keeping you guessing about her true intentions. Despite some implausible moments, the book's suspense and well-crafted narrative make it hard to put down.

Overall, "Cage of Traitors" is a compelling addition to the Trigger Man series. Fans of spy thrillers will find it an exhilarating read. 4 stars!

Review: Pretty dam good read. Except for the firearm fails where every rifle that is an "AR' is an Assualt Rifle. It stands for Armalite Rifle Co., dumbass. Also, everyone that is in a hit Team all have a scattered assortment of weapons and calibers. This would not be the case in any Team as the need to swap and feed others with the same mags and ammo is a standard rule where survival is concerned.

This was entertaining as the movement is non-stop. As it is entertainment, the suspension of disbelief is at all time highs. Pierce is in a constant state of near death but somehow manages to take out multiple kill teams while walking around with a head injury that renders him barely cogent. Riiiiiiiiight. Add to this the random instances that support his continued existence and you either toss the POS out the window or settle in for a ride on the BS train.

This novel is now the third consecutive novel I have recently read where the female co-lead is a lesbian and the author pounds on it like feral bunny. Like, who gives a fuk? Wokey or brokey, they say....

3.4/5

This series gets better and better! The action starts from the first page and never lets up. There are so many moving parts, and somehow they all come together to create an amazing plot that kept me reading all night. The book had its signature cliff hanger, and I really can't wait for the next book. A must read for any reader who loves a great action packed spy thriller.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Brilliant, I loved it. It’s so easy to get lost in Trigger Mans hectic world and the thrilling ride he takes us on. I still remember book 1 in this series and thinking wow, this is really good. Aiden Bailey a is a talented storyteller, and he’s done an amazing job with this book. Mark Pierce gets himself into some tense situations, and not everyone can do what he can while being shot at. If life didn’t get in the way I could have easily read this in one sitting.
So much to like about the book. Do yourself a favour and read this series. 5/5 Star Rating.

Aiden Bailey's Cage of Traitors proved to be a frustrating read for me. Starting with the Trigger Man's amnesia, it was hard to figure out where the story was going. Some of the scenes were to long to maintain my interest. I almost stopped at the thirty percent mark as the story was getting more implausible. At this point the characters were on a plane to Venezuela and hardly anything that happened seemed really possible. But I carried on to the 50% mark until the author used the d-word to refer to a lesbian character. I don't read books so that I can encounter slurs.
Thanks NetGalley for the ARC.

If you like good thrillers with a plot that is not like everything else, then you should try the Trigger Man series by Aiden Bailey. Cage of Traitors is the third book about Mark Pierce and it's the best one yet in this series. The books have actually only gotten better with each new story. It was a fast paced story with a lot of deception going on. It is as always well written and it's hard to put down once you started it. I can really recommend this for me new author. I have to thank Netgalley and Inkubator Books for making it available to me.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and author for this eARC.

Wow, wow, wow Cage of Traitors is a very thrilling read with a title that couldn't be more apt! It picks up about 3 months after the end of Deep Cover with Pierce in Rio Da Janeiro. What follows is a very well written story that is fast paced, full of action and suspense. After how the previous book ended I wasn't sure what to expect and all I can say is what a riveting read! The plot line is so intricate and well thought out, there are lots of story threads that certainly grabbed and held my interest and layers upon layers of deceit, lies and subterfuge which makes this such an absorbing read. Who can Pierce trust and who is on his side? I'm glad a previous character returned and hope for same in the next book. Pierces character and history is still very much a mystery, which I find really intriguing, and I want to know more about him. I really like the ending which sets the scene for the next book and I'll be looking to read it to see what is next in store for this character. If you like books with a spy/espionage theme and lots of action and thrills, I'd recommend this series.

4 stars

Mark Pierce can’t remember anything. Except how to kill bad guys. When CIA operator Mark Pierce suffers serious head injuries during a car crash in Rio De Janeiro his memory is wiped. He knows he works for the CIA, but the past year of his life is gone! Great book! Wow!! Action packed! Great suspense, murder, mystery, great shoot outs, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I highly recommend reading this book and series! They’re well worth reading! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
