About this listen

Forget James Bond. Forget Jason Bourne. Forget Jack Bauer. Meet Victor. He's an assassin - a man with no past and no surname. But when a Paris job goes spectacularly wrong, Victor finds himself running for his life across four continents, accompanied by a woman too beautiful to trust, pursued by enemies too powerful to escape.

The suspenseful new release action thriller audiobook The Hunter is the first installment in the tantalising series Victor the Assassin, written by Tom Wood and narrated by acclaimed voice actor Daniel Philpott. Trained assassin Victor is on the run from powerful enemies that want him dead. The job in Paris was a set-up. Now he’s been thrown into their sights and has never been so close to danger. Victor is charming, elusive and entirely irresistible. The ladies that flock to him are beyond beautiful. This story is one that will lure you in and keep you captive. Available now from Audible.

Critic reviews

"Jack Reacher meets Thomas Crown in this electrifying thriller." (Simon Kernick)

"An impressively intricate thriller.... The scenes are vivid and the plot revelations parcelled out at expert intervals.... Exciting." ( New Yorker)
"A superlative debut... Thriller fans will be eager to see more from this bright new talent." ( Publishers Weekly)

Love this book and the both the writing and narration.
Was sorry it had to finish but went straight on to book 2

What does Daniel Philpott bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His narration is excellent, puts across the character in a way that is both believable and interesting. Many a good book can be spoiled by poor narration but this choice was spot on

Victor what a character !!

I was struggling with this at first as I didn’t know what to expect from the author. It moved like a Jason Bourne book and never let you forget the main character was not a nice man. It felt like it was going to fizzle out and then took another direction and stepped up a gear. Exciting, unpredictable, characters had different motivations, often skewed rather than straight-forward. I was interested enough in the characters to pick up another of the authors books.
Performance was very good too.

I look forward to my next Tom Wood book
