Standing Alone

De: Stephen Leather

Narrado por: Paul Thornley

The new breakneck stand-alone thriller from best-selling author of the Spider Shepherd series.

What makes a good man become an assassin?

A Navy SEAL has gone rogue, selling his skills to the highest bidder as a professional assassin. Ryan French no longer cares who he kills so long as the price is right. His former bosses want him taken down, but they're not prepared to get their hands dirty, so they need a Brit to do the job.

SAS trooper Matt 'Lastman' Standing is a lethal killing machine with experience in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Plus he's worked with French in the past. It's not a mission he wants, but Standing made a bad choice in his past, and it has come back to haunt him. Now he's hunting French in the lawless Wild West forests of Humboldt County, where the US produces most of its legal - and illegal - cannabis.

But French isn't the only predator in the wilderness - there are Mexican cartels, Russian Mafia and Hungarian gangsters - and Standing has to overcome them all to get to his target.

Interesting storyA different type of performance.

Story kept my interest. This was the first audio book I listened to with a British reader. The accent took a chapter to get accustomed to. The pause between many sentencea was something harder to get used to.

Throughly enjoyable.

Couldnt stop listening. A lot of action. Great story. I did have a problem with the narration. Thornly has an irritating habit of pausing for 2,54 seconds between sentences all the time all the way through. It disturbs the rhythm.

Excellent

Very good story. Really kept my attention. Several twists or plot turns made the whole book very entertaining.

One of his best

Great detailed characters, intricate believable plots refreshing subject matter in interesting geographic detail. Stephen Leather one of the best.

Disappointed

I liked the story and the narrator. The disappointment was the last 3 chapters wouldn’t down load so I don’t know how the story ends
