About this listen

The new breakneck stand-alone thriller from best-selling author of the Spider Shepherd series.

What makes a good man become an assassin?

A Navy SEAL has gone rogue, selling his skills to the highest bidder as a professional assassin. Ryan French no longer cares who he kills so long as the price is right. His former bosses want him taken down, but they're not prepared to get their hands dirty, so they need a Brit to do the job.

SAS trooper Matt 'Lastman' Standing is a lethal killing machine with experience in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Plus he's worked with French in the past. It's not a mission he wants, but Standing made a bad choice in his past, and it has come back to haunt him. Now he's hunting French in the lawless Wild West forests of Humboldt County, where the US produces most of its legal - and illegal - cannabis.

But French isn't the only predator in the wilderness - there are Mexican cartels, Russian Mafia and Hungarian gangsters - and Standing has to overcome them all to get to his target.

Not up to his normal level .
As another reviewer has commented “I too can now run a cannabis farm”
Far too much detail about all of that for a special ops action book

Disappointing

I normally love Stephen leather books but was a bit disappointed with this one as it seems to have about 6 hours of filler information to pad the story out to find it’s normal length. Ok - I can now run a cannabis farm but not want I really wanted to learn the finer points about! This book could have been a couple of hours at most - I enjoyed that two hours but the padding not so. Paul thornley as narrator as excellent as always.
