About This Audiobook

Former Royal Marine Rob Rennie discovers that some enemies never stop hunting when an unseen adversary begins targeting his family with devastating precision. Partnered with wealthy American veteran Mike Brayne, Rob finds himself drawn deeper into a dangerous world where corporate espionage intersects with personal vendettas. As they work to protect a genetically-enhanced teenager from a shadowy defense program, the stakes escalate when Rob's past military service becomes a weapon turned against those he loves most. With industrial secrets, scientific rivalries, and blood feuds converging, the duo must navigate a labyrinth of threats where trust is scarce and survival depends on unlikely allies.

Steven Pacey delivers a masterful performance that transforms Traviss's military thriller into an immersive audio experience. His nuanced character voices distinguish between Rob's gruff pragmatism and Mike's idealistic determination, while maintaining the tension that drives this conspiracy-laden narrative. Pacey's pacing allows listeners to absorb the complex web of corporate intrigue and personal histories without losing momentum during action sequences. His background narrating military fiction serves him well here, lending authenticity to the tactical elements while ensuring emotional beats resonate with full impact across the substantial runtime.
