“Bentley adds brains to the traditional brawn of yesteryear in crafting a thinking man's shoot-'em-up that keeps us on the edge of our seat from beginning to end.”—The Providence Journal

Lots of action

The suspense and action were outstanding as well as the narrative.
I throughly enjoyed every minute of listening.

The Devel Meets the Angel of Death

Great book. Lots of action and a compelling story. It keeps you very entertained to the very end. On to book #3.

Great follow up to book one

I enjoyed the story and it’s follow up from the first Drake book. Scott Brick does an excellent job.

Scott brick makes this story good entertainment

I don’t even know how I found this series, but it was on sale for some reason ?? The reviews were great so I took a chance starting at book 2, not even going to book one as the review said this one was even better and so often an author gets his stride on book 2. Of course Scott, brick is one of the top narrators in the business so when he gets material that gives him full range for his talent, that’s a good spend. For some reason book 2,3 and four were on sale and the reviews were good so I got them. I don’t know if I would buy this author if Scott Brick was not reading it. Since the late great Dalton, fury passed, this author may be a good replacement for that genre for me. The. reviews will tell the story.
Where my comments of help?

Very good

Compelling story , narrator makes it so fun to listen to, Scott Brick is the best. Hope for another book with Matt Drake! He has great potential.

Outstanding story!

Don Bentley is one of the best! His military experiences certainly shine through his story lines. I’ve recently listened to other similar authors and would never waste my time with them. I’m not sure if authors write with the narrator in mind or if they choose the narrator after finishing the story. But after listening to over 80 books in this genre in the last year and a half, I can’t express how important it is to have a narrator who makes the story sound exciting. Scott Brick is outstanding and I would listen to any of his authors in any genre! Bentley & Brick make an unbeatable team.

Better than the first book

Better than the first book which was just ok. This book will make me want to progress through the remaining books

story line

once again, the story line, characters and Scott Bricks narration were top notch. I'm definitely enjoying this collection of books.

I mean🫤

Better than the first, but he still doesn't save anyone. Every plan is met with the same predictable outcome. At least he doesn't shake the entire time or end up with 50 broken bones.

Never ending

Just when you think it could not get worse it does. Nothing seems to have gone smoothly. But it all turns out in the end.
