Resumen del Editor

The first three thrillers in the international best-selling Sam Pope series: The Night Shift, The Takers and Long Road Home.

Join the fight.

The explosive series begins with The Night Shift, where ex-sniper Sam Pope leads his own investigation into a bombing at the London Marathon, setting himself on a collision course with some of the most dangerous criminals in London.

The Takers sees Sam continue his one man war on organized crime, as the search for a missing girl leads him into a war with a sickening human trafficking empire.

And lastly, Long Road Home finds Sam in Europe, racing against the clock to locate his former mentor who is being hunted under the suspicion of terrorism.

Good action

A little too repetitive but good action sequences, the wounds are gruesome and the healing is not bel livable but still a good story

Decent story, but not Jack Reacher

The Sam Pope character has been interesting enough for me to listen to all 3 books in the boxed set. But, there are some things that are "off-putting"...
One, the use of high school level, trite and hackneyed metaphors when describing actions ("the blade went through his wrist like a knife through butter").
Two, if one is going to write an action story that involves the use of weapons - lots of them - the author should know basic terminology. For example, he often calls the MAGAZINE that holds the bullets for a semiautomatic handgun, like a Glock, a "clip". This is NOT correct and even a beginner gun enthusiast knows this. A CLIP would refer to a metal device that holds preloaded cartridges into the magazine of semiautomatic or automatic RIFLES. Also, the author repeatedly mentions how a character (often Sam) hears the sound of a gun's safety being "clicked" off.. usually in the throes of a gun battle, or as one bad guy or another comes up on the other character - who hears the the sound and is alerted to the danger about to befall! Trust me, as one who as been armed as a requirement of my occupation, NO ONE walks around - especially in dangerous situations - with their gun's safety on!
Three - the narrator does about the most awful American accents I have ever heard. They are terrible - especially his version of a New York accent, and they all still have British English pronunciations mixed in with the "American" English.
