Gorgon

Alex Hunter, Book 5

By: Greig Beck

Narrated by: Sean Mangan

An ancient evil awakens ... Alex Hunter has been found – sullen, alone, leaving a path of destruction as he wanders across America. Only the foolish get in the way of the drifter wandering the streets late at night. Across the world, something has been released by a treasure hunter in a hidden chamber of the Basilica Cisterns in Istanbul. Something hidden there by Emperor Constantine himself, and deemed by him too horrifying and dangerous to ever be set free. It now stalks the land, leaving its victims turned to stone, and is headed on a collision course with a NATO base. The Americans can’t let it get there, but can’t be seen to intervene. There is only one option – send in the HAWCs. But Alex and the HAWCs are not the only ones seeking out the strange being. Uli Borshov – Borshov the Beast, who has a score to settle with the Arcadian – moves to intercept him, setting up a deadly collision of epic proportions where only one can survive. Join Alex Hunter as he learns to trust his former commander and colleagues again as the HAWCs challenge an age-old being straight from myth and legend.©2014 Greig Beck.

Critic reviews

'Greig Beck is Clive Cussler meets Matthew Reilly – violent, visceral and very, very good fun.' (Australian South Coast Register)

could hear faint typing in the background

through most of the book I could hear very faint typing, like there was someone typing on a phone while recoding the book. other than that good book

well done story line.

addicted to this authors work. his other series are just as engaging. working my way through all of his works. thank you

Greig Beck kills it again

I love Greig Beck. His novels are exactly the kind of fiction I love reading. The only thing that made me knock a star off of Sean Mangan's performance is some of his pronunciations. He says "secreted" as in secrete, and not secret, and every time it happened, it made me laugh and took me out of the story. Sean has unique ways of pronouncing things, and, as this is something like my eighth Greig Beck audiobook, I've gotten used to it now. A must listen for Alex Hunter fans.

Narrator Cannot Pronounce Words

I took some stars off JUST for the narrator because he drives me nuts every single book. The way he pronounces secreted and a few other words wrong really triggers me lol. I wish they’d have him go back and fix it.

Good

This is a good special forces book series with a little sci-fi twist to it.

Fun read

Grieg Beck did some nice research into the mythology and integrated it with the idea that earth has been visited in past by Ancient Aliens from another galaxy. He then pulls in modern elements of archaeology, adds a wonderful protagonist that we know from his earlier works, intrigue, and voila a really fun read. The reader is great. Thank you.

Nonstop action.

I liked it, as I have all the other Arcadian books. It’s just as good & action packed. I’ve never really been a fan of Scott Brick because he’s too dramatic. He could let up a little.

Gripping

Yeah, The Arcadian is back, this is another gripping, suspenseful, all-consuming story and Greig Beck does not disappoint. Once you start listening you will not stop. The narration by Sean Mangan just makes it; he is fantastic as with the other books he knows just how to keep you riveted.

There's no hiding from history

A killer adventure with mixes of history, mysticism, and mythology. The series continues to impress.

Book is as good as 1 - 4

I have grown very fond of Beck's writing and have read 7 or 8 of his books so far. My advice: if it's written by Beck, you're going to love it!!
