Action packed but need better voice for female Alex

Tons of crazy action kept me interested. There was one character the reader made sound like a poor imitation of Elmer Fudd, otherwise no complaints.

Hard to follow

Overall, I thought the storyline was good. However, the constant reminiscing of things passed by all characters makes the plot line difficult to follow. With that being said, I only gave it a three star rating.

Is that what you think Americans sound like?

Book 3: worst accents I’ve ever heard.
Story: wants to be like Jack Reacher stories, but falls fall short.

Great storyline!!

Loved the first three books! Great stories but the fake American accents were absolutely horrible! Would have been better read in the normal British accent.

Unrealistic Overplayed

I like the idea but how many times can any man get beaten to a pulp and get back up? I think in this three book series he was shot four times in the shoulder over about a six month period. Too much !

enjoyed

had been searching for a new series
really enjoyed these three books well narrated by i think a nottingham lad !
highly recommended

Good action

A little too repetitive but good action sequences, the wounds are gruesome and the healing is not bel livable but still a good story

Decent story, but not Jack Reacher

The Sam Pope character has been interesting enough for me to listen to all 3 books in the boxed set. But, there are some things that are "off-putting"...
One, the use of high school level, trite and hackneyed metaphors when describing actions ("the blade went through his wrist like a knife through butter").
Two, if one is going to write an action story that involves the use of weapons - lots of them - the author should know basic terminology. For example, he often calls the MAGAZINE that holds the bullets for a semiautomatic handgun, like a Glock, a "clip". This is NOT correct and even a beginner gun enthusiast knows this. A CLIP would refer to a metal device that holds preloaded cartridges into the magazine of semiautomatic or automatic RIFLES. Also, the author repeatedly mentions how a character (often Sam) hears the sound of a gun's safety being "clicked" off.. usually in the throes of a gun battle, or as one bad guy or another comes up on the other character - who hears the the sound and is alerted to the danger about to befall! Trust me, as one who as been armed as a requirement of my occupation, NO ONE walks around - especially in dangerous situations - with their gun's safety on!
Three - the narrator does about the most awful American accents I have ever heard. They are terrible - especially his version of a New York accent, and they all still have British English pronunciations mixed in with the "American" English.

Lack of basic understanding.

Stories were ok but the author lacks a basic understanding of firearms. I don’t know how many times he referenced the safety on a Glock. (Glocks don’t have a safety) He also doesn’t know the difference between a round, cartridge, magazine and clip.

Entertaining

The story line is probable, believable, easy to follow along and get wrapped up in the characters.
