About this listen

In remote pockets of the Third World, a deadly virus is quietly sweeping through impoverished farming villages and shanty towns with frightening speed and potency. Meanwhile, in Washington, a three-word message left in a safe-deposit box may be the key to stopping the crisis - if, that is, Charles Mallory, a private intelligence contractor and former CIA operative, can decipher the puzzle before time runs out.

What Mallory begins to discover are the traces of a secret war with a bold objective - to create a new, technologically advanced society. With the help of his brother Jon, an investigative reporter, can he break the story to the world before it is too late - before a planned "humane depopulation" takes place?

As the stakes and strategies of this secret war become more evident, the Mallory brothers find themselves in a complex game of wits with an enemy they can’t see: a new sort of superpower led by a brilliant, elusive tactician who believes that ends justify means.

I struggled to start this, let alone finish it.....but I did. The rather unexciting start, followed by a mediocre middle and a tedious end, read by an uninspiring narrator, killed anything this had to offer.
If it comes up as a daily deal or a freebee it would do as wallpaper whilst you're painting a ceiling or mowing the lawn but don't waste a credit or £7.99.

Dull, Dull, Dull

Would you try another book written by James Lilliefors or narrated by Peter Berkrot?

No

What was most disappointing about James Lilliefors’s story?

It was slow paced and didn't grab my attention.

What does Peter Berkrot bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I didn't have a problem with the narration, I thought Berkrot quite good actually.

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None that I can see.

Any additional comments?

Can I get a refund please?

Boring.
