About this listen

Michael Sloan, co-creator of the classic 1980s TV show The Equalizer—now reimagined in a series starring Queen Latifah—presents an original story of the mysterious, former covert intelligence officer who helps desperate people who are in need of his unique and deadly skills.

“Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer.”

Robert McCall is a former covert operations officer for the CIA who tries to atone for past sins by offering, free of charge, his services as a protector, an investigator, and a troubleshooter—often literally. Aided by a group of sometimes-mysterious contacts, some of whom date back to his spying days, McCall traverses the streets of New York City, visiting justice upon those who prey upon the weak.

A woman finds herself the target of a Chechen nightclub owner. The club is actually a front for an elite assassination service—run by an old enemy of McCall’s. To save his client’s life, the Equalizer is going to have to confront the sins of his past…

Critic reviews

“[In] this intense thriller...even the Equalizer might have his hands full. Sloan is a talented writer, and one can only hope there are more Equalizer novels in the future.” —Booklist

“Michael Sloan is a creative force to be reckoned with.” —William Shatner

“Michael Sloan's book, The Equalizer, is one of the best novels I have read in years. I was very drawn into the hero's backstory and what he ends up doing in New York City. The Equalizer is very much a hero for today's world. Jack Reacher make room, Robert McCall is in town.” —Karl Moore, author of The Postmoderns

Suspense

Not a boring moment throughout. Don’t get enough sleep before work the next day because I stay up too late listening!

Fantastic but long read about Mr.McCall

Love hearing about Robert McCall & all he gets up to but this time, I just thought there was too many people to save, so the story kept going & going forever, otherwise great book

Brilliant

This was amazing - 21 hours of great story lines and non stop action and thrills superbly narrated by Jeff Gunter. It was like watching Denzel Washington in action. Do yourself a favour and buy the story and then just sit back and enjoy the roller coaster ride.

Four novels in 1. Fast paced but detailed and intriguing. Maybe a bit too many character names to keep track off but I really enjoyed it.
