Nemesis: Axel Blaze Crime Action Thriller, Book 12

Axel Blaze Thriller

De: Bill Runner

Narrado por: James D. Sasser

They killed his brother. They buried the truth. They thought it was over. They were wrong. Ryan Blaze was a Marine, a warrior, a man who never broke under pressure. So when his body comes home in a flag-draped coffin, the official report—friendly fire, a tragic mistake—feels like a lie. His brother, Delta Force operator Axel Blaze, wants the truth. The deeper he digs, the darker it gets. Ryan wasn’t killed in combat—he was executed. His killers? American soldiers turned traitors, now living large off dirty money, hiding behind wealth and power. Blaze knows there’s only one way this ends. Some debts can only be paid in blood. From the battlefield to the streets of America, the hunt is on. Blaze wages war. No uniform, no rules—only a personal mission. Justice failed. Vengeance won’t. The nemesis is coming.

Praise for the series:

“Blaze combines the force of Reacher, the unapologetic badassery of Dirty Harry, the savagery of Frank Castle, and the calculated precision of Bourne.”

"Blaze is a no-nonsense guy. Shoot second...after head butting the guy first. My kind of hero!"

“Blaze is a badass in the real sense of the word. He doesn’t stop until every bad guy is broken or dead.”

Readers are saying: “…non-stop action…” “…fast and violent…” “Blaze is the new badass in town!!” “Must read! This series rocks!!”

A Symphony of Retribution in Noir's Deepest Shadow

This isn't just another case for Axel Blaze; it’s a grim homecoming. The city itself becomes his antagonist, a character steeped in moral decay where familiar alleyways whisper betrayal. The action is brutally intimate, a percussive counterpoint to a tightly-wound plot of political corruption. Blaze operates less as a traditional hero and more as a force of chaotic justice, his personal code clashing violently with systemic evil. The finale is less about victory and more about a costly, necessary recalibration of the scales in a world that has irrevocably darkened.

Raw, intense, and immersive

Listening to Nemesis on Audible is like being dropped straight into Axel Blaze’s world, where justice is personal and violence is precise. Bill Runner delivers a hard-edged thriller that doesn’t let up, and the audio format only amplifies the tension. The story moves from military briefings to brutal confrontations with a smooth, cinematic flow, and the emotional weight behind Blaze’s hunt for the truth about his brother never feels forced. The narrator brings a steady, commanding presence to the performance, giving Blaze the right mix of grit, restraint, and buried anger. His pacing during action scenes is excellent, and the quieter moments—especially those involving Blaze’s mother—land with real impact. This audiobook keeps you locked in from start to finish.
