About this listen

The Kill List: a top-secret catalogue of names held at the highest level of the US government. On it, those men and women who would threaten the world's security. And at the top of it, The Preacher, a radical Islamic cleric whose sermons inspire his followers to kill high-profile Western targets in the name of God.

As the bodies begin to pile up in America, Great Britain and across Europe, the message goes out: discover this man's identity, locate him and take him out. Tasked with what seems like an impossible job is an ex-US marine who has risen through the ranks to become one of America's most effective intelligence chiefs.

Now known only as The Tracker, he must gather what scant evidence there is, collate it and unmask The Preacher if he is to prevent the next spate of violent deaths. Aided only by a brilliant teenaged hacker, he must throw out the bait and see whether his deadly target can be drawn from his lair.

Editor reviews

The Kill List is written by crime fiction extraordinaire Frederick Forsyth and this unabridged crime thriller audiobook edition is narrated by talented American actor John Chancer. America has a list of the most dangerous men and women in the planet. It becomes the role of a teenage hacking genius to uncover the identity of the most wanted person on that list, who is actively and ingloriously killing in the name of religion. Listeners are utterly engaged throughout, as the intricate story takes them across America, Europe and the United Kingdom in a bid to uncover this highly dangerous man. Available now from Audible.

If you could sum up The Kill List in three words, what would they be?

Detailed but predictable

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Tracker, at least we had a some detail on his character.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Unfortunately John Chancer cannot do accents, especially any from the UK, especially Welsh and what he thinks is upper class english.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Any additional comments?

In listening to over 100 Audible books this is the first time I have been disappointed with the reader.

Not one of his bset

Forsyth brings us a fast paced and well researched thriller that feels extremely pertinent due to recent events. I got through this in just two sittings, it worked really well as an audiobook and felt very visual, I’ve no doubt will be a on the big screen soon. Great narration too.

Bristling terrorism thriller

I have enjoyed all of Forsyths works and this is no exception. The narrator was fine but was a wee bit wide of the mark on a couple of the accents but other than that a solid performance

Another Forsyth winner

Although a little slow to begin with, (necessary background) once the story got going it was premium Forsyth. Mixed in skilfully with the fictional part are historical details and current practices, meaning, you come away wondering if it really was just a story. I have yet to find a Frederick Forsyth novel that wasn’t worth the money and time!

Another great story.

The story is typical Forsyth, and I love his books. Despite his constant British soldier talk that seems to avoid all use of expletives and some 1940s terms, I love the way in which he ties in actual events to his plots. After all, who could forget off-duty soldiers being stabbed on the streets of London!

Please, Audible, if your narrators are going to try and use accents, at least make sure they are capable first?!

Worst Welsh Accent EVER
