About this listen
He is darkness. She wants him dead. In a city starved of light, she might just succeed. She moves like a shadow; she kills silently: Raven.
This elegant assassin has been on the run for years. This time, though, she has picked the wrong target.
The hitman known only as "Victor" is as paranoid as he is merciless and is no stranger to being hunted. He tracks his would-be killer across the globe, aiming not only to neutralise the threat but to discover who wants him dead.
The trail leads to New York...and then the lights go out. Over 12 hours of unremitting darkness, Manhattan dissolves into chaos. Amid looting, conspiracy and blackout, Victor and Raven play a vicious game of cat and mouse that the city will never forget.

Would you be willing to try another book from Tom Wood? Why or why not?
Yes - I've enjoyed the full series of Victor the Assassin.What about Daniel Philpott’s performance did you like?
Well paced to suit the twists and turns of the story.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.Any additional comments?
The many chapters covering the chase seemed to blend into one another.The chase was interminable!

Would you recommend The Darkest Day to your friends? Why or why not?
It wouldn't be my first recommendation. The earlier books in the "Victor" series are better in my opinion.Any additional comments?
I'm not sure whether a) I've just become a little desensitised to the format as this is the 5th, or b) whether the prolonged journey/chase in NY was just too long (too big a proportion of the whole storyline) but for whatever reason I did not find this one as enjoyable as the earlier books in the series. It's not a bad book ... but I wouldn't give it the very high ratings of the earlier ones.Once again, Philpott does an excellent job with the narration.
Enjoyable but not the best in the series

On balance though, Tom Woods character is very believable and a brought to life by Daniel Philpott who does a great job.
Not the best of the Victor the Assassin books

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This would have been a 4 or 5 star listening experience if it hadn't been so boring. It was short on plot and never ending in physical fight descriptions. One after the other, fight this person, run, fight the next person, run. So boring.What was most disappointing about Tom Wood’s story?
No real story, just one long series of small battles over described one after the other.How did the narrator detract from the book?
No real story, just boring descriptions of hand to hand fights.You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No.Any additional comments?
I've bought the next book in the series. If it's the same boring style I won't bother with Tom Wood again. It's like a computer wrote this book.Not Tom Wood's best effort
