Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A PROFESSIONAL THAT'S LOST THE DESIRE TO KILL... Tired of a life of violence, hitman Isaac Rhett is ready to retire after one last assignment. But the assignment turns out to be a trap and pits him against the deadliest assassin in the world, Gustav Fabrice. A MADMAN WITH NO PURPOSE BUT TO DESTROY... Gustav is cunning, ferocious, and insane. Without the inhibitions a person would feel against extreme violence, Gustav is on a rampage with the death of Isaac Rhett as his only goal. A single police officer from Interpol is the only witness to the monster that's been let loose on society and attempts to track him down before Gustav carries out his mission.

But Rhett knows you cannot escape a man like Gustav. At some point, they will have to fight. But there is only one way that Rhett knows to stop Gustav... you must let him kill you first.

Virtual Narration is horrible

The story is so close to the series I’ve just finished by Mark Dawson that it felt like a continuation of that series. The ending was a bit confusing, may have to replay it to figure it out.
BUT, virtual narration is not ready for prime time. There were all sorts of cadence issues, some pronunciation issues, and the French passages were abysmal. I will pass on any books in future that list AI as narrator.

Story gets lost w/virtual voice

I the story line was good. I will have to read the actual book. The virtual voice was so monotoned the story was hard to follow. You never knew who was speaking and there is zero inflection.

Robot narrator

Had to stop listening the narrator was so robotic I lost any interest. May have been a good book but I will never know

Live by the gun, die by the gun.

This was an interesting read. I was intrigued that almost all of the characters end up getting killed in the end. The AI voice didn’t bother me too much, but I would rather it have been read by a real person. I would recommend this read if you like espionage true crime, and assassins.

I do not like Virtual Voice

The monotony of Virtual Voice was a definite detriment here. Hard to keep the characters separate with the same voice for all. And I cracked up when a .22 was read as "point two two" or whatever it was.

The Assasin

I did not like the virtual voice at all. I really feel like this novel could have been 100% better with actual narrators. I honestly feel like I wasted a credit.

Virtual voice SUCKS.

Virtual voice ruined the experience of a decent book by an author I have enjoyed. I wish there was a way to block all VV books from showing up in my searches as I never want to experience that again.
