Arkhangel

By: James Brabazon

Narrated by: Jason O'Mara

Brought to you by Penguin.

The brutally authentic, tense and terrifying thriller from bestselling author and frontline journalist James Brabazon.

Officially, Max McLean doesn't exist.

An off-the-books assassin for the British government, he operates alone.

But when a routine hit goes badly wrong, a cryptic note on a $100 bill prised from his target's dead fingers suggests there's more to the mission than meets the eye.

Is someone from Max's former life trying to send him a message?

From Paris to Jerusalem and on to the frozen wastes of north-west Russia, Max is forced into a desperate race for the truth - with unknown enemies determined to stop him at any cost.

And when the secret coded into the banknote is finally revealed, only one thing is certain: with the fate of the world in his possession, failure is not an option . . .

A razor-sharp action thriller with the raw inventiveness of I Am Pilgrim and the breathless pace of movies like John Wick and James Bond, Arkhangel sees James Brabazon stake his claim alongside Lee Child, David Baldacci and Gregg Hurwitz as a master of the genre.

Beyond Intriguing

This intriguing story weaves & plot’s a mysterious set of circumstances that envelops one’s focus. It’s sucks one in & smothers one’s senses. It’s amazingly told by a brilliant narrator. I could not stop listening, it engulfed me. Twists, turns, lies and truths all seethe & wrangle in & action filled tale. One is sucked into Max’s psyche. It’s ingenious.

Jason O'Mara makes this Book

This book without Jason O'Mara would rate as a three. His performance is outstanding.

Good story but the ending was weak. Too many unanswered questions which are just dismissed. That said I am giving it four stars instead of three because I suspect the next Book will address these questions.
