I mistakenly read the three Renwick books in the wrong order, the last first, before realizing that the reason there seemed like there was some pre-history there. There was. Prelude to Terror is chronologically first, and we get a look at Colin Grant and Robert Renwick, the main characters, first interacting. It is interesting that though most readers and the publishers consider them "Robert Renwick" novels, Grant is really the central character in the first book. Not only does the action follow him most often, but MacInnes likes romance, and Grant has the developed romance. In the third book, others share the stage with Renwick. But, okay, he's in all three.There is definitely a sameness to MacInnes' work, but that's not a criticism. It is what the publishers want and probably most readers too. There are the good guys - and they are very decent - and an evil organization (starting in her first books with the Nazis) - and a long slow pursuit of the bad guys by the good guys while the baddies try and sometimes succeed in murdering them. There is a passionate romance threatened by violence (and sometimes successfully) as in most action novels. There is a sameness to her characters, but, it is not a bad sameness - it's comfortable.I only discovered MacInnes this year when I decided to start reading more fiction again. I'll probably eventually read all her books. I've read I think 4 or 5 and there hasn't been a bad one yet. I can't say she is Le Carre, but no one else is either. She's a top notch thriller writer and I highly recommend this or her any of her other works. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book. Difficult to put down. *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2021* This is the first of 3 books where Robert Fenwick is a character. However he is not the main character. Colin Grant an art advisor is the main character. This book does introduce Renwick and the work that he does. It is full of action and plot twists. However it also is very descriptive of Vienna and all of the characters in the story. It is definitely a page turner - be sure to block off room on your calendar for a great read. You won't be able to get much else done once you start the book. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good opening volley *by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021* MacInnes had down to perfection the espionage one-shot; this within the limits of her late fixed style is an admirable first step in the three-parter manner. I’m looking forward to her follow through. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8834316-prelude-to-terror-a-robert-renwick-novel](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/8834316-prelude-to-terror-a-robert-renwick-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
