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

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

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
