About this listen

Fighting on the frontline of the war against crime, Cam Addicott was one of the very few hard-boiled and highly experienced surveillance operatives to get called up to the secretive and elite Alpha Projects unit - a group of dedicated undercover customs officers. Alpha Projects unit hunted the UK's most dangerous criminals by extraordinary means – starting with the interception and decoding of their phone calls.

Cam soon knew the lives of the people he hunted better than they knew each other. The team shadowed gangsters as they mixed with celebrities, as they brokered huge drug deals in nightclubs and airports, until finally, it was time for Alpha to strike. In this riveting and brutal true story, a cast of unforgettable Mission Impossible characters go far beyond the call of duty to take down their most elusive target, as the lives of the hunted and hunter weave together in an explosive narrative.

What did you like most about The Interceptor?

Law enforcement as seen on the ground. I like the first person perspective, with all the gritty details, the hiccups, the bouts of luck (or not) ... you feel as if you are in the car with the other officers.

Have you listened to any of Chris Pavlo’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Good performance, but the style of the book (1st person narrative),

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"Fly on the wall documentary meets Strike Back" is actually quite good, no?

Any additional comments?

It is a side remark but an editor should have sat down with the author and improved the parts about his personal story (the author mentions several times in the book the impact his work has on himself and his family life). The way it is written, it is a bit too superficial and formulaic. It could have been brought out better. These parts actually made me feel less close to the author while I felt really engulfed with him when he honestly talks about his investigations.

great story

The story was fast paced enough to keep you interested, other reviews bemoaning the swearing are not entirely fair? the language was in context considering the individuals past and present roles.
The narrator was at times audibly bored, with some real breathy reading at e start which nearly caused me to stop listening, however the plot was strong enough to keep me listening.
I’d recommend this to anyone interested in espionage and crime stories.

An interesting insight

Great book, reads like a thriller. The narrator does a top job, I thought I'd made a mistake at first as the language and call signs take a bit of getting into, however once I did I was hooked. Great insight into what a mockery the police force is at the top. I personally know a copper who retired on a 65,000 a year pension and then got taken on a consultant. Absolute joke!

Great, unlike anything I've listened to.

At first I struggled with this as I felt that the author came across as obnoxious. I stuck with it and found the book to be really enjoyable and I was quite happy to listen in large chunks without getting bored or frustrated.
