About this listen

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide—an electrifying, heartpounding, truly unpausable thriller—a best-selling debut from talented newcomer, Gabriel Bergmoser.

"A truly terrifying, breathlessly exciting novel. It gut punches you in the first few pages and doesn't let you recover until the final, thrilling climax. An extraordinary book." (M. W. Craven)

"An original and high-octane read, it makes Deliverance look like Picnic at Hanging Rock." (The Times/Sunday Times Crime Club)

Frank is a service station owner on a little-used highway who just wants a quiet life. His granddaughter has been sent to stay with him to fix her attitude, but they don't talk a lot.

When a badly injured young woman arrives at Frank's service station with several cars in pursuit, Frank and a handful of unsuspecting customers are thrust into a life-or-death standoff.

But who are this group of men and women who will go to any lengths for revenge? And what do they want? Other than no survivors?

A ferociously fast-paced, filmic, visceral, tense, and utterly electric novel, unlike anything you've heard before. Set on a lonely, deserted highway, deep in the Australian badlands, The Hunted is white-knuckle suspense matched to the fast-paced adrenaline of a Jack Reacher novel and the creeping menace of Wake in Fright. This is unmissable listening.

"This slice of outback noir is...at once exhilarating, gleefully vicious and totally, race-to-the-finish-line unputdownable." (Observer)

"An audacious walk on the wildest side of outback noir...a vivid thriller." (Sydney Morning Herald)

"A perfectly paced, thrilling read with an unrelenting sense of dread and menace...building suspense at every turn of the page. Crime and thriller readers will love this savage Rottweiler of a novel that will clamp its jaws around their throat and shake them to the end." (Bookseller+Publisher)

"Tough, violent, suspenseful and peopled with great characters,The Hunted could well be the Australian thriller of the year. This is Jack Reacher for adults." (Canberra Weekly)

Not my usual cup of tea BUT...

I could so easily see this story. The author Gabriel was new to me, but did a cracking good job. Excellent narration by Toby too. Some of the voices were absolutely true to the characters. Well done. With a decent budget this would make a great movie.

A decent revenge story lacking character or depth.

Wolf Creek meets Deliverence, has decent action but lacks depth and its a bit shallow.

Australian Deliverance

This book made my skin crawl. It captured my attention very quickly and kept it throughout the entire book. The narration was excellent with very convincing inflections in the dialogue of all characters. The only criticism I have is the lack of explanation around the reason for Maggie going off the beaten track. It felt like an afterthought. Otherwise, a genuinely menacing story.

Brilliant and scarily tense

A story that was hard to put down, riveting and brilliantly narrated. Thank you for the experience.
