This might be his biggest coup yet! Legendary master thief Gideon Sable is on the hunt for the ghost of an alien-possessed man in this fast-paced supernatural heist thriller.

The Preserve in Bath—the British Area 51—is the secret government dumping ground for all things supernatural and out of space. It is one of the most heavily-guarded places in the world. However, it's not what protects it that makes it so dangerous but the things that are inside...

Gideon Sable—master thief, con artist and self-proclaimed vigilante—faces a challenge he can't refuse. His client, the former Head of the British Rocketry Group, Professor Neil Sharpe, wants him to break into the Preserve. Once inside, Gideon and his crew of supernatural misfits can get any mystical artefact they desire out of the Preserve's collection. The catch? To reach it, they must go through the treacherous Box Tunnel complex and not only face trained guards and booby traps but steal something that can't normally be stolen—a ghost!

Sharpe's obscure motive leaves Gideon uncertain and suspicious. The only thing he knows for sure is that he can steal anything with just the right amount of preparation—but will he be prepared enough to face whatever the Preserve holds, or will he find himself a permanent part of the government's collection?

Wish there was another

Liked the series minus the change up in the 3rd book. Other than that, I wish there was another.
I like these graphic audio books. I'll continue searching for them!

He’s always the smartest guy in the room

“You’re crew - and crew is family.”
My favorite bits involved Team Gideon’s loyalty to each other and the ongoing bit where a reluctant frenemy is enlisted for aid. The other formula bits, however, are a bit too formula. There’s always someone who’s not who they seem to be … and Gideon’s always on to them. The villain always has to monologue, gloat, and have some elaborate plan instead of just killing the threat. And, all the superpowered gizmos that are oh-so conveniently perfect for the pickle they’re in doesn’t give any true suspense as to the outcome.
