About this listen

Life is quiet for Alex Verus. Amazing. With a flat full of friends (and the occasional fish) and business booming, why not enjoy the humdrum here and now?

But of course that's too good to be true. In a sudden and cruel pincer movement of fate, Alex finds himself fighting a sinister and powerful gang as well as his own demons - for the same crime.

Held hostage by the choices of his past, Alex's future is now in jeopardy....

This is the book where you find out far more about Alexs’ past, what he has run from, and who he once was. The other characters get far more involved at times too, which I like. In this story you also learn more about adepts who get left behind and what happens to some of them. All in all a book that tells a good story, full of challenges as well as history, fleshing out Verus’ world nicely.

A favourite in a great series

If you have arrived to this stage of the series, you have fully entered this new world and has embraced it. The reward for getting this far is that we find out the background to both Alex and Rachel and their life with the dark Mage Richard. And that life is wrapped up in this story but is largely incidental to the story, it provides a backdrop. We learn more about Alex then we could have assumed at the beginning and he has become a deeper character because of it. I’m anxious to return to this world again, so I’m heading on to buy the next in the series.
