About this listen

Sometimes your past catches up with you. But John Milton has decided to catch up with his past.

Eighteen years ago, on a mission in Iraq, Captain John Milton made a reckless decision with serious consequences. But it was Major Connor Gordon who really paid the price.

Now Milton is on a different mission: to atone for his past sins by helping those in need. A human rights activist has vanished without a trace and his dying mother is desperate to know the truth. When the mysterious disappearance leads Milton all the way to the Western Isles of Scotland, he sees an opportunity to find his old friend Connor and finally make amends. Milton is determined to track both men down, wherever his search may lead.

From Okinawa to the Outer Hebrides, Milton is about to take a journey into a cutthroat world of bribery and corruption where his strength and resolve will be tested to its limits. He may no longer be the man he was in Iraq. But can he keep his cool when it really counts?

Well David Thorpe you really pulled it out of the bag, absolutely stunning performance. I’ve lost count how many accents you had to do and nailed them all, you really brought the characters to life.
I’ve loved all the John Milton books, thanks guys 🙏

First class narrator and gripping story

After the slight disappointment of Ronin I'm delighted that with this book Mark Dawson has nailed it. Really really enjoyed it. Simple yet totally immersive plot. Decent build up, strong finish. I finished this in two days!

Welcome return to form and can't wait for book number twenty with a new twist to anticipate.

So much better!!!!!

From the beginning and seemingly for always, Mark Dawson produces the Milton story we wanted without us knowing that we wanted it. One day it will have to come to an end, my hope is that it's not soon.

That said, I for one would live to hear more from Pope and Miss Rose....

yet another winner

Another great Milton book!
