About this listen
On the Mongolian steppes a general in the People's Liberation Army stakes his career, and his life, on a GPS-free missile guidance system that will change the balance of power on the battlefield. In Bath a young Chinese woman has secured the affections of a young brainiac working on that very problem. In Leamington Spa a deep cover operative has given himself away. And in London Jonas Merrick watches all, assessing, planning. A moment, perhaps, for him to strike a blow to China's espionage network in the UK. One thing he does not see, however, is in Moscow. An order given: 'bring me his head'. Tautly plotted and frighteningly authentic The Best Revenge cements Jonas Merrick as one of the great figures of modern spy fiction.

Prescient subject matter
Wow! Look at what is happening in the world right now. Drug dealer in France being broken out of a prison escort, three suspected individuals arrested on suspicion of spying for Hong Kong (read China!). You couldn’t make it up! Does GS have a crystal ball? Wonderful narrative, brilliant storytelling and superb narration. Thoroughly recommend.

Utterly compelling!
The character of Jonas Merrick becomes more and more interesting, this latest story flushes out links to the previous stories and the superb narration by Ben Allen brings the story to life.

Such a great story and excellent narration
I think this is one of the best books I have listened to on Audible. The characterisation’s and story line are excellent. The way the character Jonas is treated is completely consistent will the civil services generally where those who actually strive to achieve are the most pilloried, the author captures this in spades

Brilliant
What an excellent paced novel. Its steady ratcheting up of tension, detail and plausibility made for a gripping listen. The performance was superb. I was truly hooked.

Another enjoyable Jonas Merrick story
The narrator is perfect for these stories. He is an excellent fit for the Jonas Merrick series with an intonation that brings to mind the character of Jonas from the very start The story is well crafted and progresses as usual in its steady and satisfying pace

Same quality as previous books - never in doubt!
I’m a great fan of this series of books. The latest is of the same quality as the previous three - which is to say; excellent!

a fantastic story
I am enjoying the whole Jonas Merrick audio series as the books are well scripted and the plot always intriguing. My only complaint is that it is often difficult to realise when the narrator is starting on a new paragraph with different characters and threads of the story. Apart from announcing the different Chapters, the narrative all rolls into one so if I'm not concentrating very hard I lose track of who's being talked about. I often have to go back a little to hear the subtle pause.
