Trigger Point

The Gabriel Wolfe Thrillers, Book 1

De: Andy Maslen

Narrado por: Gethyn Edwards

When you want to take power, call the SAS.

A right-wing billionaire is standing for Parliament. He enlists the help of ex-SAS soldier, Gabriel Wolfe. Gabriel left the Army after a covert mission went disastrously wrong and has sworn never to cause another man's death.

It quickly becomes clear that Sir Toby Maitland's ambitions extend far beyond a seat as an MP.

When an ex-contact in Swedish Special Forces, now working for MI5, contacts Gabriel, he realizes he has little choice but to try to stop his employer's juggernaut in its tracks.

Drugs, guns, and plastique: Gabriel finds himself embroiled in deals with Hell's Angels and a South African arms dealer in the US before the true nature of Sir Toby's plan is revealed.

This is a fast-paced thriller in the same vein as early James Bond, through Robert Ludlum's Bourne books to Lee Child's Jack Reacher series. Expect fast cars, gunplay, nail-biting suspense, and enough hardware to start a small war.

Watch out Reacher, there's a new guy in town. If you like your action hot and heavy and your heroes cool under fire, you'll love Gabriel Wolfe. But be warned, beneath the calm surface deep currents are flowing. Currents that threaten to take him under every single day of his life.

Fun but….

Good story, outstanding delivery, but just took forever to get to the guts of the story. If you’re patient, it’s worth it.

Plot line Not Developed Enough:

Story was actually pretty good, but the different plot lines were not developed. The movements of the characters were skipping from place to place too quickly. The story needed more development. This could have been a five star book if the writer had gone into a lot more detail.
Plus, the book could easily have been 12 to 14 hours.

Ripped from the Headlines

A good listen and my first of this author's work. I'd recommend to others.

A thrilling and suspenseful ride.

This is my first book by Andy Maslen and it was thrilling. I was on the edge of my seat listening to every word. What a story! Filled with intrigue, suspense, conspiracy, excellent details, absolutely amazing. Narrator Gethyn Edwards delivers a fantastic performance. With a wide range of accents and characters, it is truly a outstanding performance. A must have book.

Great plot, very engaging.

Very well done. Great plot, couldn't put it down. The narrator was amazingly talented and engaging.

Mediocre story and narration

I will read the next one and see how it goes. I wish this new review process only required stars. Often I just want to know if I read it and how much I liked it.

current

who would have known that a,book written in 2015 would mimic u s politics in 2019?

Trigger Point

good book, great narrator will look for more maslen books, interesting read will look for more

Good character development

I have read other series by Andy Maslen. I did not care for this one as much, but as a female, the shoot them up military style of the book did not appeal to me as much as his DC, detective series books.

Dripping with Ostentatious Verbiage

An assault on one ears with its pompousness overuse of dialect in the description of the mundane.
