About this listen

 Jonathan Hemlock, the art professor and mercenary who first excited readers with his daring exploits in The Eiger Sanction, returns for another masterful adventure.

Jonathan has gone to England for a vacation, but it is interrupted when British Intelligence needs him for his highly skilled services. Jonathan must take over the mission of an agent whose murder was so bizarre and terrifying that no other agent was willing to replace him.

His task is to locate a set of secretly made films that incriminate a number of high-ranking British officials. His target is a top underworld figure who delights in debauchery and torture.

Facing this threat, Jonathan is drawn into a labyrinthine network of intrigue and depravity. When the pieces of the dangerous puzzle fall together, he will be forced to attempt one of the most daring escapes ever conceived.

Jonathon becomes embroiled in a very dark world. The experience wounds him deeply.It was a little too dark for me although I did enjoy seeing the world through Jonathon's perspective. The ending was too sad for me. However a masterpiece of fiction.

Loved Jonathon character

A good narration, with a few iffy accents though. They didn’t spoil the story, as the rest of the narration was very good. It’s the weakest of all the books, but still definitely worth a listen

Fun, but not his best

Great, but not a patch on the Eiger Sanction, Beautifully written and for any writer Trevarian is a master class on word use.

Well worth a listen

Well paced, well written, memorable characters. Preposterous plot. Some good suspense if a slightly anticlimactic climax.

Enjoyable if preposterous
