Resumen del Editor

The Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East consists of desolate plains and inhospitable mountain ranges. In a dark corner of the barren land, a horrifying game takes place.

Black Force operative Jason King arrives in the dead of night, determined to uncover why a party of international relief workers vanished from a rural village. Fearing the worst, he tracks them to an abandoned gold mine and uncovers a web of corruption deep below the volcanoes of Kamchatka.

The mine is under the control of Vadim Mikhailov, a hulking ex-KGB executioner who will do anything to protect his lucrative operation. As always, King is prepared for carnage - but this time, the raging action pushes him to his limits.

Will Slater saves Jason King...again!

If Will Slater keeps showing up to save Jason King's life, the named protagonist is going to have to change. Slater's prior appearance was in Reloaded, Book 3 in the Jason King series. He was sent to kill King but helped him instead. Slater then went AWOL from Black Force and is now on the run. Black Force is a secret US government military agency. Isla, King's handler and Slater's ex-handler, sends King on an unapproved personal mission in extreme eastern Russia.

Corrupted is a standalone novel, but it ends in a semi-incomplete situation setting up Book 6. Corrupted is brutally violent and has over-the-top suspense of the type that can cause some authors to forget the plot to focus on action instead. Author Matt Rogers passes that test by staying with the excellent plot. Roger Wayne does a nice job of narrating as usual.

Jason King series getting BETTER AND BETTER!!!!

I think CORRUPTED has got to be the BEST in the Jason King series.
In this book Jason's handler contacts him while he's recuperating from injuries sustained during his last mission. She gives him an assignment but doesn't tell him that it's a personal assignment for her and not sanctioned. When the mission goes awry, Jason goes rogue and decides to complete it anyway. Jason comes up against a formidable opponent and with out assistance from a friend he may not have survived. He survives only to face an even larger opponent, the United States.
Roger Wayne does an excellent job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Thank You.

Amazing!

Even though I know that a human body would not be able to handle the physical abuse King endures, it does make the book more exciting. It makes me sad that King and Slater may be put in jail. They both fight for the underdog and get into trouble for doing so. I’m going to have to listen to the next book to learn what happens to King and Slater.

Totally wonderfully exciting..

Okay, wow! This one was the best so far. It was about a group of workers in a freezing part of Russia who were kidnapped and Jason King was sent in to find out what happened. It was supposed to be done quickly and quietly but that didn't happen. I can't even tell you how many bad guys Jason Killed, or how badly he was hurt before it all ended; a broken nose, and broken wrist, a broken rib or two and so many bumps and bruises it was uncountable. 

Definitely no romance and the F-bomb was used 33 times.

As for the narration: As usual, Roger Wayne was awesome.

Good escapist listening

King is supernaturally good as the fictional assassin/fixer. Rarely gets hurt, but this time almost met his match.

Good book

King and Slater together. Not a fan of authors calling magazines clips. Besides that it is well worth the read/listen.

worst King yet!

I hope this is leading up to something great in the next book! no closure here.
