Summary
A long weekend in Dublin. What could possibly go wrong?
John Milton is working in a hotel kitchen while searching for information on the Group Fifteen agent who betrayed him in Russia. His plans are upended when a deadly shooting places an innocent young girl in his path. Aided by an enigmatic woman he meets in the hotel, he rescues the girl and plunges headfirst into a deadly feud between two criminal families feuding in the run-up to a high-stakes MMA fight.
In the underbelly of the city, where alliances are as brittle as glass, Milton must navigate through treacherous secrets and betrayals, ensuring the safety of the girl while locating the only person who can clear his name. The fight draws closer and the stakes are raised—survival becomes a race against time.
In a world where loyalty comes with a price, and the truth is often disguised, Milton will have to use all his wits and skills to protect the innocent, uncover the truth, and make it out alive.

I wish that the John Milton series never ends! Fast paced, exciting, brilliant, thrilling listen -just like all the other John Milton books. Kudos to the author and to the narrator!

A bit of a disappointment this time.
Love the series, this one just not as captivating or action packed as I'd hoped. Still worth a credit but just forgettable compared to other stories in the series.

Great listen
Another great Milton tale, however there were errors that I wouldn't have expected.
Mark is usually on the money with the technical side of the story. The Voice procedure when when operatives are speaking on a secure net was wrong. Out means the message is finished. Over means a reply is required. thankfully over and out wasn't used but I was expecting it. plus on a secure chat net luke the group is using that level of formality wouldn't be used. Minor and it only slightly detracted from another great story.

Uppercut was a knockout!
This new story, featuring the unique John Milton, had everything I could want in a gripping action story. There were several strands that John, ably assisted by Ziggy Penn, had to deal with to achieve his goals to clear his name.
The story takes us around Dublin but he's already planning ahead to travel further afield.
This gripping story would make an excellent movie #imho
Bravo Mark and Bravo David for the amazing narration with new accents.
Already looking forward to more please 🙏

Not the best episode.
A bit of a lack lustre book in the series for me.
Some of the accents were incredibly irritating and a lot of going over the same stuff.
Hopefully it has set up a better next episode.

Not up to standard
Mark Dawson’s John Milton series has been fantastic and I was really looking forward to listening to his latest escapades in “Uppercut”. Sadly, as the first of a two book mini series, this was the weakest John Milton book of all. Obviously, without knowing what is in the second book, I think Uppercut would have been a good short story as an introduction to Milton trying to clear his name by recovering control.
I don’t know whether it was intentional on Mark Dawson’s part, but there was some interesting use of language which related to “Down in the tube station” by The Jam. Did anyone else notice this?
Hopefully, the next book will go back to being the great listen I have come to expect. On a positive note, as always, a superb performance by David Thorpe - where do you get all those accents and voices?
