About this listen

Max Seager was the best there was. His skills sharpened in the midst of a brutal African civil war, he was at once a policeman, soldier and detective - a tracker of men. He thought he’d left that life behind him, but then he learns that his particular expertise is required again.

Two teenage girls have been abducted and are being held to ransom, hidden deep within the Zimbabwean bush that was once his hunting ground. The mother of one of the girls begs him to help and, unable to walk away, Max returns to Africa with a handpicked team of former comrades-in-arms.

But it soon becomes clear that nothing is quite what it seems and that if he is able to find the girls, it might only open the door to something far more sinister....

If you like Wilbur Smith, Andy Mcnab, Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins then you’ll love Mike Lunnon-Wood.

A good story line, sometimes a little confusing but all does become clear as it goes on. It becomes a bit predictable about 7 hours in but even then there are twists at the end. An enjoyable listen well performed by John Telfer

A fast moving, if at times a bit graphic and gruesome story, like a Wilbur Smith book. It held me to the end and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The readers accents and characters voices were really good too. Will listen to more by him

Gripping

'Research' is a word that often comes up when you read a review of Lunnon-Wood, Rowland White mentions it in his prologue and it's clear throughout his work.

This book is somehow different, Lunnon-Wood KNOWS his subject, he's somehow lived it, trod some of the paths the characters tred and knows the politics and cultures, it's less burdened by techo-descriptions born of many hours in the library and given breath.

The narration is mature and leveled, the story speaks through without the narrator putting emphasis where they like.

Research is what makes Lunnon-Wood stand out but it's not what makes this book - what makes this book is the fact you feel like your there .. in the bush.

A Thriller to Thrill
