Arliss Cutter, Book 5

De: Marc Cameron

Narrado por: David Chandler

A train ride through the austere beauty of Alaska’s icy wilderness becomes a harrowing fight for survival at the Gateway to the Arctic in the thrilling new Arliss Cutter adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of TOM CLANCY POWER AND EMPIRE.

Off the northeast coast of Russia, the captain and crew of a small crabbing vessel are brutally murdered by members of Bratva, the Russian mafia—their bodies stuffed into crab pots and thrown overboard. The killers scuttle the vessel off the coast of Alaska and slip ashore.

In Washington, DC, Supreme Court Justice Charlotte Morehouse prepares for a trip to Alaska, unaware that a killer is waiting to take his revenge—by livestreaming her death to the world.

In Anchorage, Alaska, Deputy US Marshals Arliss Cutter and Lola Teariki are assigned to security detail at a judicial conference in Fairbanks. Lola is tasked with guarding Justice Townsend’s teenaged daughter while Cutter provides counter-surveillance. It’s a simple, routine assignment—until the mother and daughter decide to explore the Alaskan wilderness on the famous Glacier Discovery train. Hiding onboard are the Chechen terrorists, who launch a surprise attack. While they seize control of the engine, Cutter manages to escape with Justice Townsend by jumping off the moving train—and into the unforgiving wilderness.

With no supplies and no connection to the outside world, Cutter and the judge must cross a treacherous terrain to stay alive. Two of the terrorists are close behind. The others are on the train with the judge’s daughter—and they plan to execute her on camera. With so many lives at stake, Cutter knows there are only two options left: catch the train and kill them all . . . or all will be killed.

“One hell of a book. Sharply drawn characters, intense action scenes, and a captivating narrative result in a white-knuckle thrill ride.”—Simon Gervais, former RCMP counterterrorism officer and bestselling author of The Last Protector

“Great action in a colorful setting. This is fun!”—Kirkus STARRED Review

Comparable to John Sandford

Excellent story & narration. Dry sense of humor. Lots of action. Nice job of character development. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Very interesting story!

I enjoyed the depth of the characters as well as an interesting and well spun story!

All the Facts

One becomes enmeshed in the story line by Native facts. All the different families involved and how entangled they are. His gun facts and all logistic information one could not make up are never ending. No one has a sketchy back story. Every character is fleshed out.

Arliss and Mim

I’m glad we are going to find out what happened to Ethan. I’m also happy that Arliss and Mim are getting together!!

Finally

That was a whirlwind trip! Glad things are starting to get settled between Arliss and Mim.

Enjoyable series!

I have enjoyed all the Arliss Cutter series and I am glad that Arliss and Mem are finally about to be an item. David Chambliss is the perfect narrator for this series.

Hooked on the Arliss Cutter Series

Usually I'm into stand-alone books and not series. But once in a great while a fictional action story comes along that really grabs my interest. My first Arliss Cutter book was so enjoyable that I looked forward to reading another . . . . and another . . . . and . . . The storyline sequences flow smoothly, logically, and are easy to follow. Action sequences are well -spaced and not too far over-the-top in regard to being believable. The books' back-stories effectively give the characters human depth further delineating the good guys from the bad guys. Narration by David Chandler is excellent and he manages the female characters well without making one cringe. Reading this series provided me with a lot more pleasure than any TV cop show ever could.

Good characters- always a consistent good read

Main story is always good. The back story is moving along nicely. Very likable characters and we get to know them more with each book- KUDOS

Can’t wait for the next book!

Another great book. Action packed and exciting. This author has become one of my favorites. I will definitely check out his other series of books while waiting for the next Cutter book to come out.

best one yet

complicated threads brought masterfully together to an exciting conclusion that was extremely entertaining. I just hope we get to see the back story come to a head. ? next installment?
Love the Arliss character, at least as much as any of the Ryan characters in the Clancy series
