About this listen

Criminals are getting rich.
Terrorists are getting powerful.
Women are getting killed...and worse.

Hiram Kane travels to India to honour the life of his murdered best friend. But Kane's world is soon plunged into turmoil when a psychotic people trafficker kidnaps Alexandria Ridley, the love of his life, and disappears into the mighty Himalayas. What begins as a risky rescue mission turns into a chilling foray into the world of weapons and drugs trading, sexual slavery and human trafficking - and culminates in a deadly race against time across the top of the world into Chinese-occupied Tibet.

With lives on the line and the future of Buddhism in jeopardy, must Kane make the ultimate sacrifice?

The Shadow of Kailash is Book 4 of Steven Moore’s best-selling Hiram Kane international action thriller series, and is perfect for fans of Russell Blake and Clive Cussler.

When Hiram Kane journeys to India , after the murder of his best friend, he and his love interest Alex get involved with a group rescuing refugees from Chinese controlled Tibet.

What seems like a worthy humanitarian project is soon revealed to be a cover for drug and slave traffickers which leads to Alex’s kidnapping and a desperate race for life within the foothills and caves of the mighty Himalayas

This is book 4 in the Hiram Kane series and follows on from the thrilling events in The Condor Prophecy.

With a cast of colourful characters and a plot that races along this was a highly enjoyable ‘Indiana Jones’ style adventure thriller that twists and turns until the explosive finale

Excellent Adventure Story

The Shadow of Kailash suffers from a few of the same issues as The Condor Prophecy. It’s incredibly slow to get started, which is annoying. I mean painfully slow, even at 2.55x speed. The next big issue returns with the narration. The narrator continues to do a different voice for the protagonist internally and externally, which can be jarring. The final annoyance for me is when the author blatantly states what’s going to happen before the scenes take place.

Despite those complaints, this is the second book in this series I can say I enjoyed. It took time to get established, unlike The Samurai Code and it didn’t drag on long after what felt like the conclusion, which The Condor Prophecy did. I would call this story exciting if it wasn’t so slow. It’s compelling, interesting, brings up relevant issues with the global economy and Tibet. It’s an all-around, enjoyable story to read (or listen to, in my case).

Aside from the aforementioned complaints with the narrator, I enjoyed his performance quite a lot. He does an excellent job with voices, accents, narration overall, and from what I can tell, languages. He’s easily one of the better audiobook narrators that I’ve heard.

First class story. Steven has a great mind for creating these adventures. And the morals and ethics over religion, science, and history are great theme to this series. Looking forward to book 6. Narrator is amazing too.

Another great book

Enjoyed this last book. It honestly kept me wondering what will happen next. It was an easy and exciting listen. Loved that Alex was a bit more of a main character here.

Fantastic twists and turns!!!
