Publisher's summary

Matthew Riker promised to walk away from a life of violence. Now he’s broken his word, and it’s time to pay the price.

After the events of The Import, Riker finds himself on the wrong side of his former employers, an elite mercenary group called QS-4. To escape with his life, Riker agrees to take on a job even they can’t touch: protecting a wealthy young man with political connections and possible ties to a terrorist organization.

Riker quickly finds himself sucked into a world of fast cars, big money, and no consequences. But his client isn’t interested in making his job easy, and a chance encounter with a beautiful heiress makes things even more complicated. Failure means death, but success might mean something even worse. On this job, Riker will have to walk the thin line between survival and damnation.

Great Story and narration!

I really like Riker! This is a great series do far. With only 2 books out I am already hooked.

This story is full of action, adventure, mystery, bad guys and an odd ball great team Riker got together. Some great characters and well done character development. Lots of dialogue too.

As for the narration, it is amazing! I love Jay Snyder. He does such a great job on all the voice distinction and the female voices. He has a nice reading voice and reads with emotion. Makes the story come to life!

Getting to know Matthew Riker

A great second book and follows the first books frenetic pace.
With this second book, we get to know the protagonist and the way he works and thinks.
A really enjoyable read, and beautifully read.
I’m off to get book three!

Soooo Good!!

JT Baier truly has a winning hand with warrior extraordinaire Matthew Riker. I think the ONLY thing I would change about Riker is that he should carry a small trauma kit with tourniquet, fine fishing line and curved needles, a couple slim packets of BleedStop and some of the honey he bottles. Riker is not impervious to injury as some literary heroes seem to be. He clearly has training and a brain, so coming up with a compact kit that he can carry on his body or in a go-bag, with a larger one he can keep at his temporary bases or inside vehicles he/team are using would seem easy to fit within weapons cases and/or stash on-site in places he's surveiling. Hope to see more of Simon, Franklin and Jessica. Otherwise, absolutely excellent storyline and narration.😁

Fabulous!!!

Wonderful story. I really like Matthew Riker, and his "team," Franklin, Simon and Jessica.
This was about 'terrorist's who weren't really terrorists that Riker had to take care of and his only help was his handler and two very rich young people. One he was told he was to protect, and nothing else, and his friend Jessica who he put in danger and Riker added her to his protection. It was a really good book. Riker didn't care in the least about killing the bad guys**********

Fade-to-black sex and the F-bomb was used 10 times*********

As for the narration: Jay Snyder is an awesome narrator. He did all the books in the Gray Man series and I loved them all, including the two in this series, too. I hope the 2 books in this series is not all there's going to be. Riker is a wonderful hero.

Excellent!!

I enjoyed this second book in the Riker series better than the 1st. This was much more believable. I like the way he developed the characters and hope there will be more from them in the future.
The narrator was excellent, nuanced and very easy to listen to. All in all a very enjoyable listen.
