The characters and events portrayed in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental.

The fiction world of today needs a “Saint” more than it ever did. For years now that scene has been dominated by the “anti-heroes"—those grim gray operators in a sunless sub-culture where global issues are worked out with totally unemotional pragmatism, those hapless uninspired puppets manipulated and expended by ruthlessly dedicated little brothers of Big Brother. It made morbidly fascinating narrative, but it never gave anyone a lift until it climaxed in the hyper-gadgeted parodies of 007 extravaganzas. That there will always be a public old-style hero, who had a clear idea of justice, and a more than technical approach to love, and the ability to have some fun with his crusades. Listen and enjoy.

been looking forward to this audio release for sometime. unfortunately what was a good story has been let down by a very poor audio transfer. monotonous and lost in translation as English words have been read by a North American who has read several words whole that would have some silent pronunciation, ie gh as g and whole and place names being butchered. into American English.
very disappointed.

Big letdown

The story is okay, a fairly typical saint adventure. However the narrator is atrocious and, although we are given a name for him, I can only assume that it is read by artificial intelligence as the reader conforms to the punctuation but seems to have no understanding of what he is Reading. In addition, many English words with irregular pronunciations are read as if they conformed to standard pronunciation rules - for instance, Quay is pronounced 'kway', and there are many others. Because I had purchased this audible book, I persevered in listening to it and did get a bit more used to the (AI?) Voice but it was not a pleasurable experience.

, absolutely atrocious narrator

This is the first Saint novel, and thus, I was eager to listen to it, but it was such awful reading that I couldn't enjoy it. I'm a big fan of Leslie Charteris' works. I have heard a few of your Saint audiobooks and have the complete sixties Roger Moore Saint series on DVDs. I will never buy another audiobook with this narrator, John Rayburn, again.

Not the best Saint audiobook novel I've heard.

I really wanted to listen to this as I adore the character. Sadly I couldn't get past chapter 2.
I don't want to disrespect the reader but he sounded like he was very 'tired' and slurring his words.
Sorry can't listen to it anymore.

Terrible reader
