About this listen
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Ultimatum by Frank Gardner, read by Rupert Farley.
SIS agent Luke Carlton returns in the explosive, action-packed and unerringly authentic new thriller from BBC Security Correspondent Frank Gardner, author of the acclaimed number one best seller Crisis....
Deep within a cave system at the Iranian military complex of Parchin, southeast of Tehran and hidden from the prying eyes of Western satellites, scientists are working round the clock on a banned device. Acting on the orders of a renegade cell within the ultraconservative Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, their intention is to propel Iran into the elite club of nuclear-armed nations - and seal its domination of the Middle East.
Britain’s intelligence agencies know something is up - they have a mole inside the programme. Ready to hand over the information, he must first get out of Iran. Crossing the mountainous border into Armenia, he was due to rendezvous with MI6 agent Luke Carlton at a remote snowbound monastery. But the mission goes bloodily wrong, and Carlton has to be extracted. And fast.
On the back foot after that fiasco, MI6 is suddenly presented with an opportunity - to recruit an individual with unique access to the leader of the IRGC hardliners. And Luke is chosen to reel them in. Going into Iran undercover is dangerous enough, but the real nightmare begins when a senior British government minister on an official visit is kidnapped, his close protection officer is killed and Britain is presented with a terrifying ultimatum. And as the only agent inside Iran, it falls to Luke Carlton to head off what could lead to a catastrophic confrontation in the Gulf...and the clock is ticking.

Great story, terrible performance
Really disliked the reader - I liked the reader of the first book, Crisis, but not sure I can continue with this series with this guy. He makes all the characters come across as pompous toffs, and it's far too theatrical. Reminds me of the guy reading the Garry Disher books I might otherwise enjoy. Old-fashioned and really off-putting for a modern audience. Such a shame because the story is good and Gardner has amazing knowledge. Although if anyone else removes their spectacles or puts them back on, I might scream!
