Publisher's summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Break Line by James Brabazon, read by Jason O'Mara.

Officially, Max McLean doesn't exist. The British government denies all knowledge of the work he does on their behalf to keep us safe. But Max and his masters are losing faith in each other. And they give him one last chance to prove he's still their man.  

Sent to a military research facility to meet a former comrade-in-arms, Max finds the bravest man he ever knew locked up for his own protection. His friend lost his mind during an operation in West Africa. The reason? Absolute mortal terror.  

Max is determined to find out why.   

Ahead lies a perilous, breathtaking mission into the unknown that will call into question everything that Max once believed in.  

Acting alone, without backup, Max lands in Sierra Leone with his friend's last words ringing in his ears: 'They're coming, Max. They're coming....'

Critic reviews

"Beautifully written and extensively researched, The Break Line is a riveting page-turner, a gruesome delight, and a study of what lies in the shadowed corners of the human heart." (Gregg Hurwitz, author of Orphan X)

"A taught, razor-edged thriller, packed with granular detail and authenticity." (James Swallow, author of Nomad)

"Breathless, complex, and seriously hardcore - don't plan to sleep tonight." (Lee Child)

Outstanding

This is one of the most intriguing books I’ve ever listened to. The very best of thrilling, espionage. Brilliantly crafted & superbly delivered. If I was reading it, I would say un-put-down-able.
