About this listen

MI5 agents have been executed and more agents have been abducted with no terms received from the kidnappers. An MI5 analyst is missing having accessed and downloaded prohibited security data. The trial of notorious radical cleric Mullah Al-Shaqqaf collapses, his extradition falls apart. A man known to have funded ISIS, recruit fighters for Syria and coerce teenagers to martyr themselves. Again he walks free. The hunt for a nuclear warhead stolen 10 years ago has led Russian intelligence to London. One man connects them all....

When retired MI6 operative Alex King is contacted by the deputy director of MI5 with a proposition, he feels compelled to act. His brief is illegal, his actions unprecedented. The law and the courts have failed. Time and events are against the nation's intelligence services and the battle can no longer be fought by the rules. Britain's enemies will soon find the game has changed. As MI5 agent Caroline Darby investigates with the help of a seasoned Scotland Yard detective she soon starts to look through the elaborate misdirection and discovers the horrifying truth....

Narration in Book 1 was poor, this was another level of dire. Puts me off going onto next book!

great story, slaughtered by terrible narration.

This has to be the single worst ever narration of an E-Book, you have ever inflicted upon your readership. OK, the book itself was not that brilliant, but those truly appalling accents were just unbelievably bad.

Worst EVER narration

I say entertaining if only for the fact that the narrator made our "hero" sound like Keith Lemon. and some of his pronunciation left me cringing. Does no one proof listen to these broadcasts. Story was good although I find it difficult to believe our security services would be that inept.

Entertaining

A brilliant second book in what appears to be a great series', however like others have said the accents are awful, i stuck with it and ignored them , however the muslim cleric sounds like Mr blobby, the author should probably choose the narrator more carefully I future

Excellent book, atrocious accent's
