After Sam Cleave's perilous experience on the North Sea oil rig, Deep Sea One, he endevours to take life a little slower and keep to his mundane journalism job at the local newspaper. However, an unforeseen turn of events urges Sam to accept a freelance writing job offered by none other than Jefferson Daniels, the world renowned explorer with whom he shared their first terrifying expedition to Antarctica in search of Ice Station Wolfenstein a year or two before.
Soon Sam discovers that Dave Purdue and Nina Gould are also involved in this exclusive enterprise and, in the Arizona desert they are all about to discover just how deep FireStorm intends to take their initiates. When all connections to the outside world are severed and personal belongings become redundant, Sam and Nina begin to doubt the good intentions of FireStorm and its new anti-privacy software soon to be distributed worldwide. Before long their reluctance to conform becomes a gesture of threat and they soon find themselves in a desperate struggle for freedom where anyone, anywhere could be in league with FireStorm.
Will this be the Death of Privacy or will the worldwide domination of personal information be successfully thwarted?
Black Sun Rising leads the listener on a roller-coaster ride in search of a legend. Packed with breathtaking suspense and nerve-shredding action, Black Sun Rising is a thrilling listen for all fans of action, suspense, and intrigue.

Now the bad part: American narrators, yes, plural, across the series.
Any Brit listening to these is going to be constantly on edge waiting for the horrendous mispronunciations and accents. Some examples:
The narrator of the first two stories kept on referring to MI6 as M16.
The accents of the three protagonists jump about, at first I thought the reporter was meant to be Irish but when their abode was confirmed I realised he was meant to be Scots, but its strength comes and goes across the series; the other two protagonists have zero Scots accents, the historian can kind of be explained as she spent time in other universities, but the inventor often ends up sounding like a brash American businessman.
Place names, oh god, after 13 books I think I've only heard Edinburgh correctly pronounced once, but I suspect it was an accident on the part of the narrator; mostly it's a mix of Edinborough, Edinbruh (yes, the "r" before the "u"), and Edinburg (hard "g"). Then there's the one book that's predominantly set in Lyon, except, for the first two thirds of the book, where the narrator calls it Lion, even when being pronounced by a French taxi driver; I can only presume someone with a bit of knowledge walked in and asked why they kept talking about lions...
Despite all this, however, they are fun and should be enjoyed in a light-hearted manner.
A series review, rather than individual ones.

What did you like most about Black Sun Rising?
The story is well researched and compelling -- but not as good as any work by Preston Douglas or Lee ChildWould you be willing to try another one of Kevin Clay’s performances?
Never knowingly -- this performance destroyed my listening experience -- his accent and pronunciation for Sam Cleave (a scottish character) and pronunciation of Edinburgh, Pillock amongst many others are appalling -- it completely destroyed my listening experience.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
NoAny additional comments?
ARGH !!!!!!!!!!!!Good Story - but the worse scottish accent ever

An improvement on the second book, at least they have taken the thesaurus off the 12 year old writing it.
Narrative flow and character development are still poor, only got such a high rating due to the strength of the idea behind the story
Interesting story and concept sadly ruined
