About this listen
"Bob Burke is back! It’s the American Sniper meets The Godfather, Round #2, or Bob Lee Swagger takes on the New York City mob.
Mild-mannered and slight of build, this telecommunications company executive is easily dismissed as the "phone guy." After four tours running "special operations" missions in Iraq and the rugged mountains of Afghanistan as an Army Ranger and Delta Force commander, he's one of the most lethal killers the US government ever produced.
When one of his old NCOs takes a header from the fifth floor of an Atlantic City casino run by the infamous Genovese and Lucchese NY mob families, someone’s going to answer for it and payback’s gonna be a bitch!
This time, it won’t be a "Gumbah" hunt with sniper rifles in a Chicago Forest preserve park. Bob and his Merry Men are going to take the Mob’s money, all of it, from a Mafia Don holed up in the casino’s penthouse, backed by a dozen mob gunmen and an elite team of foreign mercenaries.
While there’s always a place for a Barrett .50-caliber sniper rifle or two, this time Bob calls on a pair of baby-faced computer Geeks, a two-star Army General, a Chicago homicide detective, a female Air Force pilot, a Russian computer programmer, one of the world’s most renowned pickpockets, and his new wife, Linda. From stealth helicopters to luxury yachts, fishing trawlers, and bodies in 55-gallon oil drums, the action is non-stop.
Whether you’re looking for a good beach listen or a thriller to listen to in front of the fireplace, put this fast-moving action adventure novel into your cart, from the author of Burke’s War, Burke's Revenge, The Undertaker, Amongst My Enemies, Thursday at Noon, Aim True, My Brothers, Winner Lose All, and the Cold War Trilogy three book boxed set. Pick one up and enjoy!

Well worth listening to, well read and clear all the way through.

A very enjoyable audio story told in an easy listen to manor and it is very easy to get into the story-line and plot. It has some really exciting and full of great action bits. It builds up much the same way as in the Burke's Law being the first book in this series in fact carries on much the same vane with Burke and his team doing what they do best. It starts with one of Burke’s team being ruthlessly killed at a casino and Burke with the aid of his team investigating and then seeking justice against someone who believes they are invincible. Which normally maybe true but with Burke not so; so against all odds they go to take those responsible down!
Downside was for me some parts didn’t keep my full interest the same as with book one which was a great shame; But if you like action-packed thrillers with all out action and the bandies getting their just reward then this is still worth getting and listening too. William F Brown writes in away you can't help but like, it is easy going well written thriller with convincing and realistic characters and a favourite author of mine.

Narration was by Derrick Magolski, who gave a good performance which further enhanced the story as a whole in addition to giving even greater substance to each individual character. Great writing, good plot, charismatic characters and an excellent narrator. This was a most enjoyable listen, and one I wholeheartedly recommend to all thri!ler readers who like to be surprised and enjoy a little humour along the way.
