Assassin's Game

By: Ward Larsen

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

A high-octane thriller from the author of The Perfect Assassin.

David Slaton has a good life. He has a new wife and a house in the Virginia suburbs. But he also has a dark past. Slaton is a former kidon, the most lethal Israeli assassin ever created.

After decades of work, a brilliant scientist has taken Iran to the threshold of its dream - a nuclear-tipped ballistic missile. Mossad must eliminate the man, but with a spy lurking high in its ranks there is only one option: bring back Slaton. The kidon has vowed to never kill again, but when his wife is attacked and forced to flee across Europe, events force his hand.

Slaton plots to assassinate one of the most closely guarded men on Earth. Success is improbable. Survival unlikely. Only when he learns the labyrinthine truth does Slaton see one high-stakes chance. A chance for an assassin’s game….

Happy to have found the David Slaton Series

I am very happy to have found the David Slaton series of books. I have read many of the best thriller book authors like Mark Greaney, Tom Wood, Barry Eisler. Greg Hurwitz, Ben Coes, Alex Berenson, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy. Unfortunately there are also a lot of bad authors in this genre so I have also wasted my time and money on some of the bad ones. So in this time of Coronavirus I am happy to have discovered Ward Larsen as a great author of thrillers, I have read a couple of these books and have a few more to go. As this is an Audible book, I thought the narration by Luke Daniels was also very well done.

A Game of Life & Death

An excellent story, superbly written & delivered. Clever misdirection & hidden agendas are the name of the game. Completely absorbing & totally entertaining.

Took a little bit

Took a little bit for the story to get going but enjoyed it once it did. Only thing that was annoying was that it seemed everyone's name started with an "S". Hard to keep up with them all.

Suspense and an unexpected ending.

This was a very well done story that kept me guessing and did not want to stop listening. Spent longer sessions listening to see what happens next. was rewarded with the unexpected ending I never saw coming. Highly recommend this book.

Fun if characters a bit shallow

Entertaining in the best adventure tradition that doesn't give much weight to character development. Clever strategies and misdirections, lots of stereotyping.
