Summary

Nathan McBride, “the most brutally effective thriller hero to appear in years” (Ridley Pearson, author of Killer Weekend), returns in the third installment of one of the best new series in thriller fiction.

When Nathan McBride receives a text message from someone who claims she’s been kidnapped, it triggers a deadly chain of events that has the potential to haunt him for the rest of his life. Nathan will soon learn that nothing from his past could ever prepare him for the crisis he’ll soon be facing. The girl’s name is Lauren and she’s just 12 years old. With virtually no experience with children, Nathan’s patience and compassion are about to be tested to their limits.

In a violent confrontation, Nathan rescues Lauren from her kidnapper, but as he unravels Lauren's story, he realizes his troubles are only beginning. She says she's in the Witness Security Program, and doesn't trust the US Marshals because she thinks they're complicit in her abduction. Not only that, her stepdad was murdered last night.

In a desperate and unlikely alliance, Nathan and Lauren must stay one step ahead of her kidnapper and the brutal mercenaries who will kill anyone who gets in their way. Played out over the course of 36 lightning-fast hours, Nathan and Lauren must learn to trust each other or they won’t survive.

Rocket Ride

Couldn't be better. Regretfully, after my investment in his latest adventure makes Jack Reacher seem asleep.

American Gush

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, a reasonable plot but spoiled by repeated American sentimentality.

If you’ve listened to books by Andrew Peterson before, how does this one compare?

No

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Did the best he could with the material he had.

Do you think Option to Kill needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

One of a series of Nathan McBride books. I think I'll give the rest a miss.

Ok

The female narration was woeful/ really spoiled the story for me… it was fast paced/but very similar to other adventure books/ unfortunately it’s not the best audiobook I’ve listened to but not the worst!!!

Regret having bought a set of 3

A reasonable story albeit with some cringeworthy soppy dialogue but the whole thing was spoilt for me by a very poor narrator.

Got a set of 3 in a special offer deal. Gotta hope for significant improvements with the next two episodes in the series
