About this listen
An exiled agent out for revenge.
A hidden enemy stoking hate.
A clandestine war with no rules.
The world is in turmoil and nothing is as it seems. Radical extremists are on the rise, using new threats and new technologies to divide and disrupt. With governments, the military and intelligence agencies being outmanoeuvred at every step, borders are breaking down and the old espionage rules are obsolete. To fight this war a new doctrine is needed and one man will make the difference.
Meet Ex-MI6 agent Scott Pearce.
Off-grid and off the books, Pearce is forced into the fight when he learns of the brutal murder of an old friend. Determined to avenge his death, Pearce assembles a team of trusted ex-colleagues.
It’s time to burn the espionage rulebook and take the war to those responsible. . .

Critic reviews
"A terrific thriller." (James Patterson)
"Excellent...packed with relentless pace and hard-edged thrills." (James Swallow)
"A new benchmark for the modern spy thriller." (Peter James)
I find his voice too relaxed for this type of book and kept losing track of the story
Wrong narrator for the title

A Must Listen Story

Any work of fiction mustn’t move too far away from reality to be believable but during this story Scott Pearce sustained enough injuries to kill a whole battalion of SAS soldiers and yet still came out on top every time. That was just from beatings. He must have had hundreds, if not thousands, of bullets fired at him by professional assassins none of which killed him but I didn’t keep a count of how many people he shot dead or killed with his bare hands.
I like a bit more balance in my thrillers. A bit more cerebral and a bit less crash bang wallop. I stuck it out until the end but I won’t be following Mr Pearce’s progress in the subsequent volumes.
Not all down to the narrator

Quite a few bad reviews of the narrator, and I agree that Jot Davies has done a better job elsewhere, but he gets better as the book wears on and overall my experience was that it was worth putting up with the early stages.
Overall, entertaining stuff. There’s no doubt the action scenes are compellingly and expertly described.
Overall worthwhile, if a touch far fetched at points, and the narrator takes a while to settle

excellent first book

It has a relentless pace whilst not over cooking the storyline, I found it very difficult to put down at night and ended up listening into the wee hours, finishing it in two days. Jot Davies was as good as ever. This was the first book I have listened to by this author but it certainly won’t be the last. I am going to search for more by him now, and can’t wait for the next book in the Scott Pierce story.
For a fictional novel it carries a very real message, backed up by the authors note at the end of the book. Well done Adam Hamdy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
