About this listen

Every battle leaves its mark...

Ex-Special Forces soldier Alex Abbott escaped the Middle East under a cloud and now lives hand-to-mouth in Singapore. Scraping a living as a gun for hire and estranged from his family, Abbott is haunted by ghosts of the past, drinking to dull the pain. Life's tough, but there is one upside - at least he's not in Baghdad.

That's about to change.

When a job goes badly wrong, Abbott's in hot water. Next he learns that his military son, Nathan, is missing in Iraq. Knowing something is wrong, needing to find his son and desperate for redemption, Abbott has no choice but to go back.

Returning to Baghdad, Abbott renews old acquaintances and begins his search for Nathan. The body count rises as old wounds open and he struggles to confront his demons, self-medicating the only way he knows how. But when one of his old crew turns up dead in mysterious circumstances and the link with Nathan is clear, Abbott begins to suspect a trap.

But who is the hunter? And who is the hunted?

This Book is a MUST READ if you like suspense, mystery, and adventure. I was on the edge of my chair every time I started to read/listen. I'm still not sure what brought Abbott into the story, even though he's the main character, but I probably missed something. read it, you'll enjoy it..

Definitely on the edge of my chair

Dear Mr Ollerton,
Thank you for making such a great story. If I didn't read "Break Point", I wouldn't really relate to Alex Abbott. I could see your face as Alex's. I could stop listening to the story. Your work is right up there with Tom Clancy. Cudos to you. I can't wait to hear the second book. If fact, I'll start now. Thanks again.
Sincerely
Malcolm Haynes

Narrator

Pretty much not indistinguishable from an Andy McNab, Nick Stone novel, which is not necessarily a bad thing, if not exactly original.

Good, though familiar
