About this listen

A high-stakes thriller that could be ripped from today’s headlines—from the bestselling author of The Frenchman.

Alec de Payns, espionage operative of the Y Division of the DGSE, France’s famed foreign intelligence service, is tasked with tracking down an agent of influence sending highly classified material against the Kremlin to embassies all over Europe.

A deadly conspiracy is aligning the West against Russia. But who is behind it? And to what end?

The clues lead to a secret meeting of businessmen, terrorists, and mercenaries on a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean, which de Payns must infiltrate. What he discovers sets off a Europe-wide manhunt in a desperate scramble to prevent an international catastrophe.

Former DGSE spy Jack Beaumont’s Dark Arena is another chillingly plausible thriller delivering all the taut plotting, superb action, and authentic spycraft that made The Frenchman a critically acclaimed bestseller.

Wow..Just…wow

One of the best spy novels I’ve read/listened to. Combine Beaumont’s on-point tradecraft+emotional element of character experiences+character development+gripping plot has cultivated into one of the most realistic, thought provoking, and entertaining works in the genre.

My only hesitation on 5 stars all around is because I feel the performance could have been better. He wasn’t bad. It’s definitely worth the listen but, I definitely don’t think it gave the story what it could be.

I would read another

this book had alot more info then the last. at points I had hard time following everything putin was doing and info like that. It personally was hard to read about all the conflict between him and his wife . it sometimes slowed down the book for me trying to understand it all. overall i love the characters. love how it's written. like the book. ready for another.
