Great thriller

I have enjoyed Tom woods writing style and his character development of victor. The narrator is fantastic. I enjoyed this book more then the first. I look forward to the next one.

Great story, excellent performance.

These books are so rich in detail you can listen to them multiple times and still hugely enjoy them. This was my second listen having just listened to the 4 book series in order.

Another great Victor the Assassin story.

I have to agree with reviewer Wesley from CT. I don't recall hearing any content re Victor the Assassin's former mentor, either. The audio book's description on this site declared that Victor would encounter some such character in this third volume of the series. I know I didn't sleep through any relevant segment, since I find the Victor books riveting. Confusing lead-up or not, I liked this book and also Rob Shapiro's usual excellent narration. I have just finished listening to No Tomorrow, the fourth book in the series. Another great story! Go, Victor!

Tom and Victor do it again

Another great Victor the Assassin novel! Storyline, narration, and execution perfect once again. Definitely recommend

best yet

this is an excellent Series. This is the best book so far. the narration and overall story are excellent.

Forget James Bound, or even Ludlum’s Jason Bourne. Victor is the ultimate assassin.

What sets Tom Wood’s writing apart from any other writer in the genre is his flawless combination of detailed analysis, pace, and—perhaps, most important—believable characters and plots. How any other writers in the genre have gotten their books optioned and filmed by Hollywood studios before Wood’s Victor series is an absolute mystery to me. The Game is as good as they come. Just better. You will not be able to put this book down! Hail to Tom Wood, the best architect in the field of assassin thrillers.

Awesome

I’ve read this book 3 times. The narration is great, the story plot is awesome one of his best!!!

Loved It!

Once again, heart pumping action strung together with weight bearing plot and Clancy-like tech. Victor the Assassin's gotta' be today's 007. Great escapist stuff. No literary redeeming features... but an EXPLOSION of testosterone leaves powder burns all over my imagination. There's nothing I can tell you about the plot without bringing it spoiling down around your expectations.

And Rob Shapiro? Cannot say enough so I won't try. This is my VERY favorite action team right now and I'm off to find the next in the series. You like this kind of stuff? Then start this epic from the first book "The Killer" and work your way toward "The Game".

Oh... and virtually no politics hidden badly in the narrative. Not to worry that Wood's trying to see you some sort of ideological snake oil, just... did I say escapist stuff? Yeah Dude (or Dudette) I did!

just as good as the first

im really starting to get excited for victor and his success in staying a live. great details by Tom wood and I love that he doesn't make any sexual situations into literature porn. im buying the next book.

Victor, an assassin and a gentleman!!! 👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👏

This series is #1 in my vast Audible library. This was the third in Victor the Assassin series and like the previous two, author Tom Wood’s brilliant writing again is perfectly paired with outstanding narration by Rob Shapiro. Extremely well done, I feel I know the dark, handsome, threatening and mysterious Victor. So excellent that I could envision every character in this action-packed audiobook. Wood and Shapiro combine their extraordinary talents that lead us all over the world on a dangerous and thrilling adventure. Twists, turns throughout! I already have the fourth in the series and am looking forward to listening the entire series. Still have my crush on Victor! Intensely high recommendation. Ya gotta love Victor! Again, thank you and kudos to both Wood and Shapiro.
