About this listen

Dead on arrival

Ex-special forces operator Amos Carver is being framed for murder.

Carver hasn't killed anyone. At least not for a few years, and certainly not in some backwoods Georgia town. He would never harm the person they're accusing him of murdering. But nobody believes him. And no one is willing to help prove otherwise.

The town might look almost dead. It might look like it's barely clinging to life. But it's very much alive. Rotten to the core. And the unknown forces running it want him dead.

They can come. They can try. But there's not a chance in hell Carver is going down without a fight.

I was pleasantly surprised when I ordered this book having been duped in the past by several authors claiming Reacher-esque story lines with the travelling knight errant character, but this stood out as one of the better ones I've tried. the storytelling is just deep enough to be very good and the narration for the most part is just what it needs to be. personal issue with the narration is the use of foreign accents when the voice artist clearly cannot do it - leaving all Portuguese folks sounding like inspector cluso.

an excellent starting novel in the series

a book very much along the "Reacher" genre, with some very obvious similarities ...... but it's still a very good story line that keeps you hooked and makes you want more. A very entertaining "listen", which in most is down to the voice acting skills of "Austin Rising". He gives all characters their own "voice", which really enhances the full experience.

I enjoyed it so much that I have already bought the rest of the books in the series .........

really drags you in

A brilliant start to the series.
I’ve just bought book 2. I highly recommend this series if the first is anything to go by.
Jack Reacher, John Milton and Joe Pike… meet Amos Carver.

Very like Reacher, but got sneaky skills. A terrific read and a fast paced thriller I throughly recommend it 👍🏻
