Hmmmmmm

To much going on to start and I got frustrated - the middle got better more interesting with the characters - writing and descriptions were fantastic but this book was too far fetched for me - more James Bond & Jason Borne stories x

Worth a listen

Enjoyed it, but the some of the action scenes tended to get a bit repetitive, like repeating the word hovercraft. I did finish it in a few days tho.

accent was annoying

It was like the reader couldn't choose between Australian, American and Canadian. Story was awesome though.

The good and the bad

This book was my first Matthew Rielly novel and it is an old favourite. However it does not translate well to the audiobook format.

subtle and good

the narrator was great but he needs to mute his microphone when taking a breath and drinking, was rather off-putting. besides that, it's it was a bloody good book.

Suddenly! Hovercraft!!

The story is good, the writing is terrible... but it was his second book, so we can forgive him :) I liked the characters and will be listening to the next book.
