MI5 agents have been executed and more agents have been abducted with no terms received from the kidnappers. An MI5 analyst is missing having accessed and downloaded prohibited security data. The trial of notorious radical cleric Mullah Al-Shaqqaf collapses, his extradition falls apart. A man known to have funded ISIS, recruit fighters for Syria and coerce teenagers to martyr themselves. Again he walks free. The hunt for a nuclear warhead stolen 10 years ago has led Russian intelligence to London. One man connects them all....

When retired MI6 operative Alex King is contacted by the deputy director of MI5 with a proposition, he feels compelled to act. His brief is illegal, his actions unprecedented. The law and the courts have failed. Time and events are against the nation's intelligence services and the battle can no longer be fought by the rules. Britain's enemies will soon find the game has changed. As MI5 agent Caroline Darby investigates with the help of a seasoned Scotland Yard detective she soon starts to look through the elaborate misdirection and discovers the horrifying truth....

great story awful narration

I say entertaining if only for the fact that the narrator made our "hero" sound like Keith Lemon. and some of his pronunciation left me cringing. Does no one proof listen to these broadcasts. Story was good although I find it difficult to believe our security services would be that inept.

Good story

The story was excellent,kept you wanting to hear more and some intriguing twists and turns. There was however a fly in the ointment, the narrator. Don't get me wrong, When he was just narrating he was excellent but when he spoke in character it was cringeworthy. The main male character sounded like Keith Lemon and it was very hard to take him seriously as a tough assassin. Some of the other characters were as bad, Most regional accents were abused but If your welsh please make sure your blood pressure doesn't get too high, i am not Welsh and even I felt insulted for you

if you can possibly bear with the dreadful accents it is a great story and well worth listening to

Great story but ..............

The first book was well narrated and it added to a good experience. Audible obviously didn’t want to fork out for the same narrator so we ended up with someone who decided the main character needed the voice of a camp half wit. Sounds like the irritating twerp of the Asda adverts. Problem is this was the high point, the rest of the accents were excruciatingly bad. However, I noticed that book three had a different narrator so invested. Unbelievably, the narration is even worse. It sounds like an American robot. Bizarre. I am cancelling all future Audible credits.

Audible strikes again.

A typical an ejoyable all actiom story.
However, the narrator needs either to improve when using accents or refrain altogether.

Good story but narration poor
