Going Back

A Tom Novak Thriller, Book 3

By: Neil Lancaster

Narrated by: Mike Rogers

Going Back is the electrifying third novel in Neil Lancaster’s Tom Novak series, described by Tony Parsons as making “Jason Bourne look like a vegan pilates teacher”.

Novak is back. Answering a call from his old friend and comrade-in-arms Mike Brogan, Tom Novak finds himself back in the one place he does not want to be, the home of his childhood nightmares: Sarajevo.

Undercover and thrust into the centre of a Black Op, Tom and his team are double-crossed and forced to rely on their wits as a deadly new threat emerges. Forced into a race against time to stop a terrifyingly effective new weapon, can Tom fight against the odds once more to save not just those he loves, but the world as we know it?

Critic reviews

"If you take all the best parts of 24, Line Of Duty, and Mission Impossible, and put them in one book, then you would have something very much like Going Back. An incredible, exciting read." (Cass Green)

Uou would do well to go back to the original narrator. This guy obviously hasn't read the first book.
Really bad narration. This guy is awful. he has never heard a woman speak, much less a German woman.

Tom - Your book is let down by the narrator

Its an Audio book - You should make sure your narrator has at least some skills

Very Good Series!

Not sure if there will be a fourth one, but this was a very enjoyable little series and I do recommend it! The only odd thing for me, was that although I liked the narrator of the last two overall— he didn’t quite capture Pet’s voice believably. The first narrator did a better job with her voice— but was only so-so (imo) when it came to Novak’s! What can you do? Lol. Still, don’t let that put you off— listen and enjoy!

Love this series!!!!

What a great story and series! Cannot wait until the next one…..,…… very hopefully!!!!!!! Well done Neil!!!!!

Very entertaining story

This is the third, and hopefully not the final installment in the Tom Novak series. The story and premise are great. My only complaint is the narrator. His American accents are dreadful! They might be passable to a non-American, but I can't stop rolling my eyes at how "off" they are. Even worse than that, is his voice for Pet, one of the only female characters. If the story weren't so strong, I would have ditched it. Instead, I cringe whenever she is given voice. I have a German friend, who is named Petra, and her accent is nothing like Pet's. So either Mike Rogers can't do women voices, or his achilles heel is American accents. I wouldn't let this stop me from listening to the next book, but maybe Mike Rogers can work on his "American" for the next one.

Awesome story

Can’t wait for the movie or series! Great story. Performance was spot on. Nicely done.

Keep going back to listen to it

Particularly enjoyed the accents on this. Serovich v funny, good storyline as always. Worth a credit!

Excellent

A complex & intriguing story. It’s exciting right to the end. What do you get when you mix a “ not English” undercover policeman, a Black Hat now White Hat hacker a CIA agent, an arms dealer & financiers together… one hell of a story. It’s brilliant! A must read for sure.

Good addition to the series

I have really grown to like the characters in this series. The story was good.
