An Introduction to Steve

I was entertained by this first prequel which introduced the character named Steve Regan. The short story supplied insights into the kind of character Steve Regan was, and what made him such a good undercover cop. Although the story was short, I enjoyed it, and I'm looking forward to more stories which feature this character. I thought Alan R, Gron's narration was fine, and his performance kept my attention. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.

A tragic beginning to an impressive career.

So this is how Stephen got into undercover police work. His first gig. Was there sports corruption? A well written, well told prequel.
I received a review audio copy of this book through Story Origin. I have listened to a few of Stephen Bentley stories and Alan R. Gron IS the voice of Steve Regan. It is very distinct with the right accents and some tongue in cheek humor. Very enjoyable. 5 stars for him as well.

Good Prequel

Good short prequel to the Steve Regan Undercover Cop Thrillers Series. This is a good introduction to the series. Alan R. Gron did a good job bringing this story to life. #StoryOrigin

One tragic moment changes everything

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. Narrated by Alan R Gron, who delivers the right amount genuine snarky wit that elevates this quirky unique prologue. Once he has it all: a lovely wife and daughter and a good job but then it all ruthlessly shattered when he lost his family... and maybe even his own identify. Then a very unique job falls into his lap, an undercover job that will provide the birth of Steve Reagan and give him a future he desperately needs. His first job was keeping a secret from destroying Britain's national obsessive love of sports.

Highly recommended.
