Believing that calling the police will cost lives, he decides to deal with the problem alone. But Emil isn’t far from the target, and the threat he’s facing is far greater than he realises.

Engaging tale of suspense. A bit contrived back story and the finale is a bit abrupt.

[Antoinette · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

LOTS of action from the start!!! I liked this book was equal opportunity on the bad guy front, and had bad girls too. This book didn't have any lulls or slow parts and kept me engaged from the start. LOVED IT!!

What is the story about? I had a difficult time following the reasoning of the story. Random killing of people in a village you are told not to kill to find someone, just one person. Not sure my time is worth finishing an unbelievable account of the Hidden. Oh but it starts off with killing should be good nonstop action. haha.

Great storyline. Very difficult to follow. Felt like too many characters. Perhaps the language difference added to the difficulty.

[Bill McKibben · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Oddly dull despite all the killing. And quite quite unbelievable

[Jurriaan Knol · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Enough action and stuff going on, but I couldn't really get a connection with the characters so it all fell a bit flat for me.

Needed a little help with some translations but really good story.

[Mari · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was my Jake Cross book but won't be my last. The story was fast-paced and believable without depending on conspiracies to kill government officials or destroy the world. The narration was great as well.

Excellent! First time i listen to a book from Jake Cross beautifully narrated by Mathew Watterson. This book was action packed, full of suspense from beginning to end. Finally a mature man single handed doing his best to save his son and his town. Really enjoyed it! Will be looking for more books from Mr. Jake Cross.

[Mike Barker · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A well-written, Fast moving thriller with believable characters. We’ll worth the listen.

[Sheila Smith · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Fast paced. Also a nice short read with interesting characters and great plot.

[Theresa Boon · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Good plot line but hard to follow at times. Jumps around for situation to situation so often it can be confusing.

[Anya · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I expected more from the high review rating. I was drawn in immediately at the beginning but it got confusing as to who was who and I did not feel much for the characters so it was not worth re-listening. Maybe this would be better as a regular book?
