About this listen

The assassination of a Caribbean dictator...The "hit" on a traitor in Beirut...The brutal murder of a young CIA officer behind the Iron Curtain...So begins the game.... It is 1964, the height of the Cold War, and British Intelligence is riding high with its top double agent network: Constellation. But in the secret war fought across Europe the enemy is never far away and soon the agents of Constellation are targeted by an unknown team of assassins. In desperation British Intelligence sends in their best agent to protect the network and hunt down the killers. Jack "Gorilla" Grant isn't your typical Cold War secret agent. Short, tough, uncompromising, rough edged. He doesn't fit in with the elitist spies and debonair intelligence agents. He prefers working at the rough end of British covert operations. But "Gorilla" is one of the best "Redactors" in the business. He's an expert at close quarter shooting: quick to the draw and deadly accurate when it comes to the elimination of traitors and extremists on behalf of the British Secret Service (SIS). He is soon drawn into a game of cross and double cross where nothing is as it seems and even the most perfect spy can die in a wilderness of mirrors. A Game for Assassins is an action packed edge of your seat thrill ride played out across the global stage of the Cold War.

The story itself was great. 2 problems I had with this book.

1. The pauses between chapters were way to long and I thought the book had stopped playing.

2. And this was the worst part. The narrators attempt at accents. It was just awful and very cringeworthy and I almost stopped listening. But I powered on and the story was good.

A good story but...

When a story contains predominantly characters who are english, it would be better if the narration didn't include some really bad attempts at english accents.

Apart from that I really enjoyed it.

Great Story

The plot is innovative, but badly needs an editor to excise the unnecessary details the author can be prone to labouring. Narration is appalling - like a robotic with apparently no understanding of British accents or intonation and ruins a series which has potential.

Could have been so much better

The story seemed like a good one but I could not finish listening to this book as the narration was absolutely terrible. None of the accents sounded realistic, you could hardly tell what accent they were trying to do and they all just sounded weird. Shame.

Shockingly bad narration
