Hey, good evening everybody and welcome wherever you are in the world. I hope you having a fantastic day. And I'm here with Barry, who is the author of The Spider. I know some of you are watching already putting the live chat that you've read his excellent book. Here in the UK, it's 4.4 stars on Amazon UK.

and the secret operations arrest him at the airport,
