Duncan Grant, Book 1

De: Andrew Raymond

Narrado por: Angus King

Every assassin has a first time…

On the backstreets of Lyon, France, an MI6 surveillance team are gunned down in a cold-blooded ambush. Thrust into the hunt for the assassin is the sole survivor – rookie covert operative Duncan Grant.

His feats in training are already the stuff of legend. His tough, solitary existence on Scotland's Isle of Skye forging a man willing to kill to protect the innocent and save lives.

But no training can prepare Grant for the devastating consequences his first kill will unleash.

As he follows a bloody trail of clues around the globe, he discovers that his own agency is selling him out.

Now Grant is about to find himself in the middle of an international conspiracy involving a corrupt Interpol detective, a Saudi prince, and the highest levels of government.

But they've underestimated the wrong man.

And Grant's about to prove to them that the second kill is far easier than the first.

Exciting global conspiracy

This was a fast-paced, global espionage thriller that had twists and turns which kept me gripped all the way to the end.

Really Enjoyable

Always love Angus King’s narrations and Mr. Raymond has started a new series with promise!

I almost missed out on this new series

I was looking for a new episode of a Scottish detective series this author also writes. But realizing this was a spy thriller, I almost moved on. My admiration for Angus King and my enjoyment of Raymond’s previous books tempted me to give it a try. So worth it. Despite the lack of any romantic intrigue, I was thoroughly engaged. Such well written action scenes, I was ducking for cover. And the characters are well-drawn. I look forward to see how Duncan develops as a man in the next one.

Predictable

Always enjoy Angus King. He’s a wonderful narrator. The book was standard fare. Predictable and excessive in parts.

Great character in Duncan Grant.

The story was solid and plausible until marred by the laborious and overly complicated ending that was reminescent of “ Goldfinger” and all the other 007 fantasies. Real dudes just shoot, not talk, and get it done.
