About this listen

A cargo ship is apprehended by the authorities off the coast of Spain, loaded to the gunwales with enough arms and ammunition to start a war. Twenty years later an unknown aggressor seems intent on eradicating those responsible for the treachery one by one.

The last victim was brutally tortured with a Black & Decker drill, then shot through the head. And Nick Stone - ex-SAS, tough, resourceful, ruthless, highly trained - is next on the killer's list....

In his most daunting mission yet, Nick Stone must find a man who shared that past and who may know more about the present threat than he is prepared to reveal.

As the two find themselves pursued across sea and desert, they become ever more enmeshed in a deadly network of betrayal, to which Stone himself unwittingly holds the key. And in a final confrontation that echoes his worst nightmares, only he can stop the unthinkable and save the lives of those he holds most dear.

Terrific story, but P.T’s narration was a little off, at least to begin with, very monotone and didn’t seem to be into it at all, unusual because he is normally brilliant. Interesting that he wouldn’t narrate the next 3 books.

Great story though, and Paul did seem to regain his mojo towards the end of the book. I’m going to read the next 3 books though, will go audio again when Paul’s voice returns to play Nick Stone.

Narration not up to usual high standards

I purchase the books in this series because I know I'm guaranteed to get what I want; a ripping adventure with baddies, goodies, a bit of politics, a lot of adversity, struggle and survival. Also, gritty descriptions which take the reader along on the rollercoaster of extreme survival conditions. Brilliant! Off to get the next one now!

Enjoyably Predictable
