About this listen

Jeremy Summers, a British banker with a secret that could reveal MI6 intelligence sources involved in the war against drug-funded terrorism, has been seized at gunpoint, in broad daylight, on the streets of west London. An old contact, Raglan - an Englishman who served in the French Foreign Legion - is on his trail.

Raglan's pursuit will lead him to the winter-ravaged wasteland of a remote Russian penal colony. A place that holds Russia's most brutal murderers. A place of death and retribution. How will he get in? More importantly, how will he get out...alive?

Enjoyable yarn

Slightly different to the usual settings for this type of novel, particularly the second half. Well read and enjoyable.

A guy's book

I had thought this would be a thriller, but it is more an action book, with long passages devoted to fighting. No real character development. Women there to either be protected of screwed. What is the male equivalent of a chick book? Dick book?

Very good narration

Enjoyable listen with excellent performance. Storyline is a bit far fetched but managed to persevere with it.

thoroughly enjoyed this book

I was searching for a book that had great narration and a good story. this delivered on both. the plot along with the characters and story keep you wanting more and all very believable. what was refreshing was the actual realism in which the story unfolds, with main characters actually being killed or murdered & as silly as it sounds they actually stop and have something to eat and do normal things that anyone would. I know that sounds stupid but it's what makes the story plausible. it doesnt take anything away from the pace of the book and I cant wait for the second in the Raglan series.

definitely a big thumbs up 👍👍👍

Fantastic well worth listening. I would also advise buying either audible or paper back, very well written.

Thoroughly Enyable

An excellent novel, thrilling to the end and very well narrated. It made a refreshing change to the stereotypical American characters.

Started slowly but improves the deeper you go

Started slowly and initially I struggled to get to grips with the characters but both plot and characterisation improved the deeper in I got, and overall I really enjoyed it. Frederick Forsyth levels of research support the plot which developed in really interesting directions. Enjoyable, and excellently performed by Matt Addis. Someone must be haggling over screenplay rights for this one!
