Fun story with an excellent narration

Fireland is a fun story that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It’s perfect for fans of classic spy thrillers and old James Bond movies. In fact, the entire novel appears to be a Bond homage.
What makes this book stand out is the excellent performance by narrator Thomas Cassidy.
He gives every character a unique voice and even manages to make the main character sound like young Sean Connery.
Best enjoyed with a vodka martini, shaken not stirred.
