About this listen

A small town cop with an unexpected gift. A shadowy government agency on the side of justice. A call no good man could turn away.

When vampires attack David White's small town, only luck, firepower, and the intervention of an elite government task force saves his life. The aftermath of the attack leaves him in the middle of the world's biggest secret: the existence of government agencies that regulate the supernatural.

They insist that David's "luck" is actually a supernatural gift, and he's immediately recruited into ONSET, the most shadowy part of America's thin blue line of police protectors.

Questioning both his gifts and the agency he now serves, David is drawn into an escalating battle that threatens all of humanity. If he isn't what ONSET thinks he is, the entire world may pay the price.

My summary of this book is that it is a great universe, well realised and really interesting. I think people who like military fiction, sci-fi, fantasy etc will be glad that they read it.

Also, Ray Porter does heroic work (Irish accent aside). He's great, one of the best in fact.

The only thing to complain about boils down an apparent inexperience on the part of the author when it comes to creating characters. To be clear, the writing shows great potential, the world building alone should be enough to prove that (and indeed the nuts and bolts of the characters gets better as the series progresses) but while it's easy to like the main character, it's hard to 'root' for them, because of how their story progresses.

Please don't let that deter you though, this is an enjoyable read and a good entry to an excellent fictional world. I honestly think most people will be glad they gave it a shot.
