Publisher's Summary
Some legends lie buried for a reason…
To fight extraordinary odds, you need an extraordinary man.
Under the fierce heat of the Australian outback, the laws of nature serve a rough justice. When a man vanishes deep in the Northern Territory, local police write it off. But his family suspect otherwise – and when the call for help goes out, Ben Hope and Jeff Decker are there to hear it.
Ben’s instincts, honed by years of Special Forces missions, soon see the story told by a trail of bullet casings, rumours of a missing map and a lethal cocktail of greed, power and money.
This savagely beautiful land holds a secret it won’t give up easily – and for Ben, discovering the truth will mean not only going up against a small army of hired guns and their twisted paymaster, but also surviving a place where the wilderness is as powerful as the weapons his enemies have trained on him.

Underwhelming
I was looking for a crime story in the Australian outback.
Listening to it i kept hoping for some of the feelings of being in the middle of the country that I had experienced but it was missing. Much lauded Aussie slang, and references to Aboriginal culture and myths were contrived and disrupted the flow of the story for me.
A good effort at presenting the various accents but in this case another unnecessary distraction and to this Aussie not very accurate.
Fast moving and detailed descriptions of weapons and vehicles would suit some readers but not others.
I did finish it so something about the formula worked!

Very disappointing
Narration is particularly bloody annoying. As an Australian it's insulting that he can't be bothered to learn the correct pronounciation and language and very disappointing that Scott Mariani actually approved it
