About this listen

A fast-paced and explosive action thriller, perfect for fans of James Deegan.

Jack Tate thought the war was over…

‘Alex Shaw is one of the best thriller writers around!’ Stephen Leather

His worst enemy is back.
Former SAS trooper Jack Tate is running a black op for MI6 when the man who killed his parents comes out of hiding. On a quest for revenge from Monaco to Qatar and into the US, Tate must stop at nothing if he is to catch the world’s deadliest assassin.

His worst nightmare is beginning.
But the assassin is hunting too. Members of his old unit, The Werewolves, might hold the key to a new weapon – one with the power to end civilisation as we know it.

And this is his last chance for revenge…
As Tate tracks the Russian, the line between friend and foe, and good and evil starts to blur. Now Tate must break all the rules to avenge his family and save the world from the chaos of war…

Perfect for fans of James Deegan, Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney, this is an explosive action thriller you won’t be able to put down.

Critic reviews

‘Looking for breakneck pace and a relentless hero? Alex Shaw has you covered’ James Swallow

‘Alex Shaw is one of the best thriller writers around! Fast paced, Total Blackout gripped from page one and didn’t let go … as fast as a Hollywood movie’ Stephen Leather

‘Compelling and authentic. An explosive new series with an uncompromising hero’ Tom Wood

‘A perfect mix of hi-tech, high-concept modern action thriller and old school, Cold War espionage where evil Russians are still plotting the downfall of the West and only one man can stop them’ Simon Toyne

‘Jack Tate is a powerful character, a true Brit hero. A cracking start to a new series!’ Alan McDermott

‘Alex Shaw is a master of the action thriller. Grabbed me from the first page and never let go’ Michael Ridpath

‘Riveting thriller with an original plot and surprising twists. Tate is totally convincing as a classic Brit operative. Great drama and characterisation’ Duncan Falconer

‘An ice-cold operative in a red-hot adventure’ Stephen Leather

‘Sizzles across the page like a flame on a short fuse!’ Matt Hilton

‘A perfect blend of spy fiction and political thriller’ Matt Lynn

I like the narrator and the story is easy to listen to. Jack Tate’s character is likeable if a little unformed. The story is engaging but there are a few times when things come together a little too easily and the ending wraps up very quickly and a bit too conveniently to be anything more than reasonably entertaining.

Entertaining but lacks some depth

Excellent

The Narration is fine, the story is fine but for some reason the characters just didn't interest me. I tried to push on, hoping it would come good but just got bored in the end. Sorry its just not for me.

I just couldn't get in to it
