Target Locked

Tom Marlowe, Book 2

De: Jack Gatland

Narrado por: Alan Turton

On the run, all alone, and marked for termination.

British MI5 “Section D” agent Tom Marlowe has been burned, his Security Services clearance deleted, and his protection from foreign agencies removed.

Now on the run from assassins with old scores to settle, Marlowe accepts an offer from retired CIA associate Brad Haynes to stay with him in New York. But as ever, Brad has a reason for calling his friend across to the East Coast.

Burned from working with any allied agency, and with only old friends and disavowed spies to rely on, Marlowe finds himself fighting to clear a kill-list order on a high-flying environmental lawyer before she takes down a criminal corporation in a high-profile court case. But can he stay in the shadows to do this, or will his hunters lock on target once more?

Gripping, thrilling, filled with action and written by New York Times best-seller Tony Lee writing as Jack Gatland, Target Locked is his second Tom Marlowe thriller, and is perfect for fans of the Bourne movies, Burn Notice, James Patterson, Mark Dawson, Lee Child, Mick Herron, and Robert Ludlum, among others.

Great characters and plot

The development of these characters from book to book remains the main attraction for me. Great narration and dense plot development.

I hope this series continues. Very enjoyable.

I really like the Tom Marlowe character. He seems more real than a lot of other characters of this type. He isn't perfect but seems to have a decent moral compass.

The fight scenes are well described to help visualize what is happening. The dialog feels genuine and the plot is well thought out. It's exciting to try to figure out how he could possibly get out of and survive one challenging situation after another. This and the first book of this series are enjoyable and were well worth the purchase price.

The performer does justice to the characters regardless of shifting accents and voices. Each character can be recognized individually by their own voice.

Altogether an enjoyable start to a series that I hope continues and follows this character and others as they grow, learn, and work together (or against one another) as the situation inevitably or unexpectedly changes direction.

Fast paced and fun

I loved the story and Jack Gatland took Tom Marlowe in a brilliant new direction with this series. I can’t wait to start the next one.

Entertaining

An enjoyable story. Good pace. Action & intrigue keep one engaged. It’s written in a lighthearted manner that’s appealing & appropriate to the main character.
