About this listen

Things are looking bad for disgraced spy August Drummond. In emotional free fall after the death of his wife, fired for a series of unprecedented security breaches that saw him labelled a traitor...and now his neighbour on the flight to Istanbul won’t stop talking.

The only thing keeping him sane is the hunch that there’s something not quite right about the nervous young man several rows ahead - a hunch that is confirmed when August watches him throw away directions to an old European cemetery seconds before being detained by Turkish police. And when a reckless August decides to go in his place, little does he know that he is setting in motion a series of events that will test his ingenuity and resourcefulness to the limit, and bring him face to face with a terrifying figure from the dark heart of the Islamic State.

The second novel in a trilogy about loyalty and betrayal in the modern age, How to Betray Your Country is an authentic thriller about walking the line between following your conscience and following orders.

Enjoyed the book. Clear, very realistic story.

However it was let down by the narration. Audible has chosen a narrator with the sort of clear, precise voice that works for commercials and continuity announcing, but is disastrous for storytelling. Every syllable - every consonant - is placed accurately. But precision is not the same thing as good reading. It needed nuance, emotion, character -- all the things that a fine actor brings to a story.

Please hire actors, not continuity announcers!
