Killer Elite (previously published as The Feather Men)

A Novel

By: Ranulph Fiennes

Narrated by: Jonathan Cowley

The “enthralling page-turner” (Library Journal) now a major motion picture starring Jason Statham, Clive Owen, and Robert De Niro!

Here is a gripping novel, inspired by real-life events, about a private team of British vigilantes that sets out to eliminate a gang of cold-blooded contract killers. From 1977 to 1990, four former British soldiers die, one by one, supposedly due to accident or illness. But soon a link is established between the victims: a shared mission in the desert kingdom of Oman, where they fought for a sultan against insurgents and ruined the life of a rival sheikh, who in turn has sent a band of assassins to methodically slay the soldiers and salvage his pride. Now these clever assassins are on the run from an underground group of SAS vets with nothing to lose, no time to waste, and a desire to dispense their own form of justice—no matter the cost.

Critic reviews

“Marvelously entertaining.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Highly suspenseful.”—Publishers Weekly

Good but hard to keep everything straight

the overall story is great but almost impossible to keep track. personally i had to reread twice just to pull together the whole story an to keep track of everyone.

Excellent story!

Those who know, know. I appreciate the realism and detached delivery of the stories. High recommendation.

ROBOT READER

Story is very good. Reader is a robot. Will make you cramp your jaw in repetitive yawning.

Excellent Story

The story is very good. When it starts out, the story jumps back and forth. There are actually two stories. The story of the killers, and the story of the protectors. At first, I did not understand this. Maybe it was my fault. One of the problems with listening to a book rather than reading it is that one cannot go back and check facts when listening. Once I figured out that two stories were being told, it went a lot smoother.

fantastic story

I enjoy every minute of the feather men most likely listen to it again thank you
