About this listen

"Bob Burke is back! It’s the American Sniper meets The Godfather, Round #2, or Bob Lee Swagger takes on the New York City mob.

Mild-mannered and slight of build, this telecommunications company executive is easily dismissed as the "phone guy." After four tours running "special operations" missions in Iraq and the rugged mountains of Afghanistan as an Army Ranger and Delta Force commander, he's one of the most lethal killers the US government ever produced.

When one of his old NCOs takes a header from the fifth floor of an Atlantic City casino run by the infamous Genovese and Lucchese NY mob families, someone’s going to answer for it and payback’s gonna be a bitch!

This time, it won’t be a "Gumbah" hunt with sniper rifles in a Chicago Forest preserve park. Bob and his Merry Men are going to take the Mob’s money, all of it, from a Mafia Don holed up in the casino’s penthouse, backed by a dozen mob gunmen and an elite team of foreign mercenaries.

While there’s always a place for a Barrett .50-caliber sniper rifle or two, this time Bob calls on a pair of baby-faced computer Geeks, a two-star Army General, a Chicago homicide detective, a female Air Force pilot, a Russian computer programmer, one of the world’s most renowned pickpockets, and his new wife, Linda. From stealth helicopters to luxury yachts, fishing trawlers, and bodies in 55-gallon oil drums, the action is non-stop.

Whether you’re looking for a good beach listen or a thriller to listen to in front of the fireplace, put this fast-moving action adventure novel into your cart, from the author of Burke’s War, Burke's Revenge, The Undertaker, Amongst My Enemies, Thursday at Noon, Aim True, My Brothers, Winner Lose All, and the Cold War Trilogy three book boxed set. Pick one up and enjoy!

l loved both this book and its predecessor, Burke's War. This story was gripping all the way through. The characters were well defined and you ended up really appreciating Burke. I hope he and his team appear in further books. Highly recommended.

Gripping story, highly recommended.

Burke and his trusty side kicks sort out some really nasty bad guys who are threatening his extended ex-military family. Action is great but gambling is not my thing thus down a star on Story. Book 3 here I come!

Action! Action! Again!

As a sequel to Burke's War we again met Bob (the "Ghost") Burke around a year later on. One of his pals has been gambling and losing, pissing off some very nasty people. What follows sets Bob off on a revenge mission as apparently these nasties hurt his friend....
Surprise surprise, it is not as straightforward as it looks with plenty of twists in the tail. No spoilers I hope..
Well worth listening to, well read and clear all the way through.
