Publisher's summary

John Milton is a ghost. He was Number One. The most dangerous assassin in Group Fifteen, the black-ops organisation that solves problems when diplomacy has failed. Now Milton is Her Majesty's most wanted fugitive - an anonymous loner with a deadly set of skills.

So when he is arrested following a brawl in a Texas bar, the last person he expects to bail him out is a glamorous operative from the Russian Secret Service.

Milton is blackmailed into finding his predecessor as Number One. But she's a ghost, too, and just as dangerous as him. He finds himself in deep trouble, playing the Russians against the British in a desperate attempt to save the life of his oldest friend. Some ghosts are better left alone. But these two have been disturbed, and now there's going to be hell to pay.

Mark Dawson has worked as a lawyer and currently works in the London film industry. His first books, The Art of Falling Apart and Subpoena Colada have been published in multiple languages.

Winner

I was caught by the characters and the story line though trite,(how many times can you rescue folks?), moved very well.

Great series

The John Milton novels are fast paced action and suspense that will grab you from the beginning and keep you immersed until the end! Love the main character and the intelligence and very appealing side of his nature. Supporting cast is far better than most other novels.. I am looking forward to the next installment and seeing where Milton will go and who he will help.

loved the dramatic suprises at several points

the story is a very compelling story that starts with excitement and ends in the same manner. I really enjoyed the storyline

Wow, just WOW. Best so far, how can #5 match?

This is by far THE best of the series so far. Book 1 was great with a few little glitches, but this one was realistic, believable, and exciting throughout. Dealing with old enemies turned friends(?), double crossing the double-crossers so all the bad guys lose, action and retribution and salvation, and a fine, fine ending. If the series ends here, it's a good one. But, wait, there's more! Let's just hope 5 can keep up with 4!

David Thorpe is amazing in his narration--any country, any dialect, any social level, any size person. So much better than those much-touted dramatizations (I couldn't tell anyone apart and you could see the studio mikes in front of them; in these books you are there in the midst of the action)!

No more needs saying-- if you like black ops and governmental assassins, especially one trying to do good, this is the series for you.

Another hit

I'm on an iPod so this is gonna be short. I started reading Mark D several years go with Milton. I've read em all and liked them all except one. That's a pretty high % for a new guy from an old one. As usual Highly Recommended.

Fast Paced

I truly enjoy this performance and story. I am intrigued to listen to the next installment. I recommend this book to anyone seeking adventure and intrigue.

Another great story in the series of this author!

The author has done it again! Another fantastic book in this series. The narrator does an excellent job of telling the story and bring the book to life!

Great read Thanks

Book keeps you captivated and the narrator is great. I am happy to recommend this audible.

Loving me some John Milton

Trouble always finds John, John always gets himself out of any kind of trouble. Sometimes it is a sitting on the edge of your seat type of listening but well worth it each and every time.

A Ghostly Thrill Ride

This book deserves 6 stars, but since 5 stars is the max, I shall stick with that. I would highly recommend this masterpiece to all who love underdogs, revenge, intrigue, spy stories, vengeance, and a nail biter of a good time. This story literally had me biting my nails. It was just that good! The previous John Milton book had a couple of flaws, but this book leaves no stone unturned. It is full of adrenaline. I highly recommend this book to all.
