Lore of King & Slater, Book 1

De: Matt Rogers

Narrado por: Dorje Swallow

A glimpse into the brutal past of Will Slater, told at breakneck speed in this thrilling novella from Matt Rogers, million copy bestseller and ‘the most successful writer you’ve never heard of’ (The Story).

Chicago, 2003.

For twenty-year-old Will Slater, each day is a matter of survival on the crime-ridden streets of Englewood. Possessed by a rigid moral code, he allies with the city’s ruthless gangs only when absolutely necessary, and doesn’t hesitate to turn on crews he finds reprehensible. Orphaned at fourteen by a harrowing chain of events, he’s walked this tightrope for years without a safety net.

Then it all changes.

When a gang approaches Will with a job, memories are triggered that he’d rather forget. But once he accepts, he’s plunged into a web of deceit. No one is who they seem, and violent events set him on the path to becoming the Slater we all know—one of the most lethal covert operatives the world has ever seen.

Disappointed and eanting more!

I was excited for the stories of Will Slater recruitment and missions. A book about Will Slater journey to become the lethal operator. But the lack of focus, details, and overall vibe of the book left me wanting to scream at Matt Rogers. I felt shorted by this book. It’s like Matt Rogers wanted to throw Slaters name out and cut the story short. I hope more books released with better details. Love the Jason king series but book 2 is more on King than Slater. But the narrator could’ve been better.
