About this listen

A gripping, action-packed thriller about a deadly government assassin framed as a traitor - with the explosive action that fans of Lee Child, Gregg Hurwitz, Vince Flynn and James Swallow will love.

EVERY OPERATIVE KNOWS THE RULES.

The mission comes first. You are a deniable asset. Betrayal is punished by death.

Alex Reeve - known as OPERATIVE 66 - is a former special-ops soldier and one of the UK's most lethal weapons. Previously a member of SC9, an elite covert unit with a remit to assassinate the country's enemies, Reeve was framed for treason and now lives a nomadic existence - as the merciless killers he once trained alongside hunt him down.

For a chance of a normal life, Reeve must expose and dismantle the sinister SC9. So when a series of brutal killings in Germany have all the hallmarks of an SC9 tactic - the murder of 'ghost targets', decoys to camouflage the true intended victim - Reeve finally sees opportunity for revenge.

Sucked into shadowy conspiracy involving dark global powers, Reeve will risk his life to save others - and to secure his freedom. But if there's one man with the skills to do so... it is Operative 66.

From the internationally bestselling author of the Wilde & Chase series comes an explosive thriller - the perfect pulse-racing listen for fans of LEE CHILD, VINCE FLYNN and GREGG HURWITZ.

Andy McDermott's best book yet

“Ghost Target” offers a thrilling narrative reminiscent of the Bourne films, combining gritty realism with a superb storyline and just the right amount of action. Unlike some contemporary books that lean towards over-the-top action sequences, “Ghost Target” maintains a balanced and engaging approach. The novel’s ability to strike a balance between action and storytelling is one of its standout features.

Andy McDermott’s writing style and attention to detail contribute significantly to the book’s success. His ability to create a realistic and immersive world for the characters to inhabit adds depth to the storyline. This attention to detail helps readers become emotionally invested in the characters and their journey, making it all the more rewarding.

As a fan of the Bourne films, it’s understandable why “Ghost Target” resonated with me. Both the novel and the film series share a similar tone of suspense, intrigue, and well-executed action sequences. If you’re a fan of suspenseful thrillers and enjoy the Bourne films, this book is definitely worth your time.

Simon Mattacks's brilliant narration contributes to finely polished novel.

Nonstop Action

We catch up with Alex Reeve a few months after the events that occurred in Italy in the last book. Separated from Connie, he is adrift and desperate to stay off of SC9s radar. By sheer happenstance, he stumbles over a news story that he recognizes as the work of an SC9 operative. He forms a plan to thwart an assassination and use it to expose SC9. No SC9 = No one hunting him or Connie. But things in his world rarely go exactly as planned.

This book is 100% action and pretty much nonstop. The action is brutal and not for the particularly squeamish. But Alex, despite his training, remains a man of honor who will do the right thing, even while telling himself that he is being stupid. I normally prefer a bit lighter fare, with a bit more humor. But this series is quite addictive. I recommend it.
