About this listen

A gripping, fast-paced novella from the multi-million selling author of the John Milton series.

In the city of Cairo, a sandstorm is coming.

Group Fifteen operative and ex-MI6 officer Charlie Cooper is working undercover as a political negotiator. Attending a conference surrounded by diplomats, businessmen and lobbyists, nobody would suspect what he really does for a living. Also in their midst is Aisha, a Saudi activist whose protests against human rights abuses have made her an enemy of her country's regime.

It isn't just Cooper visiting Cairo under false pretenses. A hit squad has been sent to eliminate Aisha and their reputation precedes them. Cooper knows all too well that these men mean business and is given the order to take them out. But when he is told to use Aisha as bait, he starts to question what he is doing.

The hunt is on and the sandstorm is heading their way. Can Cooper eliminate the assassins before they reach Aisha? Can he keep her safe from harm without any means of escape?

Very thin story line - totally lacked suspense or any interesting twists in the plot. As the hero had to live on to star in the next book in the series, the outcome was never in any doubt!

A thriller without any thrills

Well written & well narrated as always. Hoping that there will be more Group Fifteen side stories to follow soon.

Excellent Stuff

The narrator was excellent and the plot was short but good and as I got the audio at a discounted price good value.

Pace of the story kept interest going.

I have listened to / read almost everything from Mark Dawson and enjoyed this story. However a credit either buys this book or one three times as long. So value for money this is three times worse. Please bundle multiple short stories. I will not be using credits on anything much less than 10 hours.

Too short

When purchased I did not realise I was paying 10 euros for a short story. Not value for money will pay more attention the next book I buy!

Very good short story

A great read and big smile when shone familiar names entered the story.. Hope it interlinks with future Milton stories in future. Mark Dawsons John Milton series never disappoint.. Orphan X is second best

Didn’t want it to finish
