About this listen

Gavin is creating a unique 'holiday experience’ - every facility any tourist who hates going abroad will ever want will all be available on a converted North Sea oil rig.

To test the facilities, he's hosting a reunion for his old school friends. He is so busy showing off that he doesn't notice that another group have invited themselves along - a collection of terrorist mercenaries who are occasionally of more danger to themselves than to the public.

I love this story and I’m sure I’ve heard it with a different narrator, it a real shame, he was good most of the time but when it came to the Jordie character I nearly turned it off!

The worst Jordie accent I have ever heard!

I love Christopher Brookmyre novels and Angus King usually does a good job verbally retelling his stories but this one had me laughing at his pish poor attempt at a Geordie accent. Alright if you can see the funny side and look past this faux paus 😄

story funny but accents questionable

Angus King has come in for a lot of stick regarding his attempts to do a 'Geordie' accent - ok so at times he sounds as if he is from Pakistan and at others God knows where but in no way did it ruin this comedy action thriller as far as I am concerned. Part of me wonders if Mr Brookmyre did it on purpose with Audible in mind. This was great fun, a sort of 'Die Hard' meets 'Breakfast Club' affair - prepare to suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the ride.

Don't Worry About the Accents
