About this listen

A police raid gone horribly wrong. A band of deadly cult-terrorists on the run. A family held hostage. One man no one counted on to be there—Jack Widow.

When an ATF raid on a cult compound goes horribly wrong, the cult leader and his band of deadly terrorists escape.

On the run and desperate, they need a place to hide. A remote family farm makes for the perfect place. But there’s one big problem. The family that lives there has a guest—a drifter they picked up by the name of Jack Widow.

Widow, the ultimate loner, comes to a standoff with pure evil in the million-selling action-thriller series.

Fans of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Vince Flynn’s Mitch Rapp, and Mark Greaney’s Gray Man will love the Jack Widow Action-Thriller Series.

I love the narration of Alan Philip Ormond. He brings out the action, humour and emotions of the characters. Perfect

I have loved all the other books in this series, and found myself really not wanting this one to end.

When a siege on a cult compound in South Carolina goes horribly wrong , the leader and some of the group gets away. All ex military, all with special op training and all dark and evil. Innocent people and many ATF agents have been hurt and killed in the explosives at the compound.
Jack Widow has hitched a ride with a local Christmas tree farmer. He’s invited to stay the day and night with his family. He is made to feel one of them. When Widow wakes up to find the farmer has gone missing with a stranger, and the ATF and local law petrol office, believe that he has gone with one of the cult members who got away. Cousin Widow gets involved. He will not allow these cult members to destroy this family.

Such action and holding my breath .
