About this listen

Going Dark is the debut crime thriller from former covert specialist Detective Sergeant Neil Lancaster.

Tom Novak is a troubled soul with a dark and bloody past. A former refugee, Royal Marine and member of the elite Special Reconnaissance Regiment, he now finds himself struggling with the deadening routine of day-to-day policing. When he is deployed undercover to infiltrate a gang of people traffickers, things go badly wrong. Faced with an impossible choice, his cover is blown, and he finds himself on the run from the Serbian mafia and even his fellow police colleagues. With no-one to trust, and his enemies using all the resources of the state against him, Tom has only one option: to Go Dark.

After seeing that Stephen leather recommended this book on social media
I decided to give this a try and was not disappointed plenty of action and found i wanted to take the dogs for longer walks to find out what happened next
Well written agree Tom needs fleshing out a little bit more but if you want a listen that you will enjoy this has to be one to download

Great book - can’t wait for the next instalment. Good twists and turns from an author who knows his subject. Good to get SRR into a book too...

Fabulous new author!

I had to listen to this at 1.5 speed, just to get past the odd cadence of the narrator. It was as though each word was recorded in isolation and then pasted together.

On a more positive note. The story was fun and kept me hooked until the end.

Entertaining story - terrible narration

A real rillercoster if a listen. Well researched, well written authentic thriller. Great narration. Highly recommended

A great thriller

At first I wasn’t sure about this story or the narrator whose voice seemed flat and lacking in animation. However, the more I got into the book the more I felt it was up to date and relevant to modern news stories.
Also the voice Guy Mott grew on me and somehow was appropriate for the narration of the gruesome events taking place within the story.
I am now looking forward to listening to the next episode in Tom Novac’s life.

Excellent fast paced story!

Superb

I really enjoyed this book loved the story line and characters looking forward to the next book. Couple of characters had dodgy voices but that doesn’t really impact on the story.

Good story

Very well written and narrated. Kept me locked in throughout! I enjoyed the twists and turns; edge of the seat stuff

Great story!

loved the story, almost gave up due to the narrator. his female voices and Scots accent (apart from main character) were like parody voices at times. I'm glad I stuck with it though, and I'll almost certainly purchase other books in the series.

Good plot, let down at times by narration
