Scorpion

De: Mark Dawson, Steve Cavanagh

Narrado por: David Thorpe

Mark Dawson's Group Fifteen Files. Quick, lightning-paced action from the first minute to the last.

They call him 'Scorpion'. No-one knows his real name, and the only people who have seen his face are dead. He works for the highest bidder, and he's never missed a target.

The assassin appears in London with the name of an investigative reporter on his list. But has Scorpion met his match? The reporter has a protector - John Milton. And Milton might be the only man in the world more dangerous than him.

A very good head clearer

My first "Milton" book which though I'm not a shorter story fan, this story was just fine. The almost ending was very disappointing - unless it comes back with info thats brings more meaning. Wish I could explain.

slow listen but did entertain to mild degree

slow listen but did entertain, not his best or worse work, enjoyed it but rather average!

Really Great !

I always like to learn more about John Milton's back story. This was very good. Narration was also excellent.

Dead Scorpion

Great for a short piece designed to intro abd develop a new shadowy MD character.

horrible sound recording

when the narrator spoke in the voice of Milton it was great but he spoke in the voice of some of the other characters it sounded like a whisper and couldn't be heard and in the volume in my on the max setting. the story was good but my wife and I missed some of the best parts.

ok

short story very predictable nog much suspense. not the best novel I have listened to.

Kind of Predictable

The only thing this book had going for it was that it was short. It wasn't exciting and you knew from the start what the ending would be. I was on a road trip so I listened to the whole thing but I might have abandoned it if I wasn't a captive audience.

Meah... better than melatonin.

I tried on 4 seperate occasions to listen to this book. The story seemed to have potential from the very beginning but the narrator put me to sleep like a hypnotist every time! If I had paid for this book I would have requested a refund...

It's Milton, but it's a short story

If you know this is a short story going in, you won't be disappointed. If this short story is any indication, the Milton series won't suffer by having Cavanagh help out, but I'm hoping Dawson won't retire completely!

"Scorpion" seems to be setting up the scenario for a following, much longer book. In this story, some aspects of the plot are resolved, while others are left to be dealt with later. This is a satisfying story with a clever little twist, not a true cliff-hanger, but it leaves room for much more plot to come. I'm looking forward to what comes after this. Short stories are fine, but we really want the longer, more involved books!

Mr. Dawson has taken an apprentice here, but you can't tell the difference. It still sounds and moves like John Milton. Any little literary things I might have missed are smoothed over by David Thorpe's impeccable reading.

Big lead up, to a short end.

The story line was good, but was to rushed! Could have made it more
