Code of Arms

Gideon Ryker, Book 1

De: Jack Slater

Narrado por: Mark Garkusha

He can’t run. He can’t hide. He can’t remember…

Six weeks ago, Gideon Ryker awoke from a coma in the French chateau where veterans of the Foreign Legion live out their final days in peace. His body is a torturer’s canvas, his mind an empty slate—except for haunting dreams of a young girl’s face. He doesn’t even remember his name.

But he knows that a legionnaire’s life is a brutal struggle. The only reward: a new identity and passport. A fresh start. You’d only take that deal if you needed to forget your past life.

Or escape it...

Clearly Gideon didn’t run fast enough. Someone caught up with him once. And when a CIA hit squad arrives at the chateau, he discovers that hunting season isn’t over.

But where did he come from? Who is the girl that stalks his dreams?

And why does everybody want him dead?

Good story! Should be a great new series!!

I liked the main character’s Gideon and Zoya. The story is a bite different than what I expected, but still very interesting.

Good stuff!

Action packed recording, had plenty of time do some more love Sean’s, or not d pending.

Fun Listen

Characters we believable and likable. Good level of action. It had a nice flow and twist.

A dynamite beginning for a new hero!

I am a huge fan of the Jason Trapp series and was lucky enough to get a promo code for the newest book from Mr. Slater! This story hits the ground running and doesn't stop! The action is tight and believable and there are more than enough twists and turns to keep you guessing.

Fans of Reacher, Bourne, Rapp, Gentry, and Trapp will really dig Ryker!

Can't wait for the next in the series.

Interesting characters with engaging action

I was worried this would be another rip-off of Jason Bourne.It was not, it had its own unique elements.And I enjoyed the character development.And plot it kept me interested the whole time.I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the sequel

Great story but the narrator...

I really enjoyed Slater's Jason Trapp series so I was looking forward to Gideon Ryker. The book was every bit as good: suspenseful, fast paced, interesting. But for the love of God, could we not hire a female narrator to voice the female roles?? Garkushka does a horrific job of narrating as female. It makes it very hard to believe that the character is intelligent, interesting or anything!

Code of arms

Liked all of it. Loved the French Legion part. Something new for me and that they were able to get the bad guys but left you wondering about the next book

Jason Bourne similarity

The pace was OK. It dragged at times semi believable but good entertainment not a nailbiter but not bad.

Plot flowed well.

Total action in developing plot and characters well written thank you why do you require fifteen words?

Action packed

Great read. A little bit of my other favorite themes mixed all in one. The narrator reminds me of Jay Snyder. It was the reason I purchased the audiobook. He has a pleasant voice, like Jay. I’ll follow him and listen to more of his books.
