While carrying out a hit on a terrorist financier, Victor finds himself the target of an assassin who proves to be just as deadly as he is. Never one to let such a thing go, Victor sets about hunting down his attacker and those who sent her. She is Raven - a freelance assassin with a dark past and hidden agenda. If Victor wants to stay alive, he must find out who Raven really is and what she is truly after. Does she really want him dead, or does someone else want them to kill each other?

With the stakes growing higher by the minute - as a city-wide blackout plunges Manhattan into darkness - Victor and Raven must decide who is friend and who is foe before a deadly terrorist plot threatens to consume the city and them along with it.

I love the series and the character. However, I must say Victor was kind of nerfed in this novel; perhaps, in order to make room for another: Raven. I still enjoyed the book and look forward to the next. Hopefully Victor returns to true form.

Good but could have been better.

Victor once again proves he is the ultimate killing machine. Definitely got me with the ending, no doubt I wouldn’t still be alive.

Pretty pretty pretty good

Unfortunately, I slept through most of ending and I didn’t care enough to go back and listen. However, I still love Victor! Was hoping for a soulmate for him.

Not one of Victor’s better books

I've listened to quite a few audio books over the last 10 years. Well portions of the story seemed a bit far-fetched this is easily in the top 10% of all the books that I've listened to. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

wow .. awesome.

Victor is not perfect

Would you listen to The Darkest Day again? Why?

Maybe, if I had nothing else to listen to. It certainly is good enough for a repeat performance.

Have you listened to any of Rob Shapiro’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Rob Shapiro is Victor. I have listened to the previous 4 in the series and this one is right up there.

Any additional comments?

I think this has got to be the BEST Victor book yet! I don't think there is as much action as in some of the others but... there is a whole lot of tactical planning and scenarios that require life and death strategizing. Don't get me wrong, this is Victor the Assassin and he does his assassin thing but he is also very intelligent and although that's been established in previous books I think this one exemplifies this to the smallest degree.
The story is a good one and I think would work as a stand alone but is better as part of the series. Victor is now doing contract work for the CIA as an independent contractor. He's sent on a job and is ambushed. There is another assassin there trying to kill him. Neither is killed and Victor is determined to get her befor she can come after him again. There are many twists and turns and his enemy becomes his ally. Together they go after who hired her and WHY he hired her. Meanwhile by the time you hit the end - WOW! Totally unexpected, but I cannot spoil this for anyone.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I love victors character and the narrator is amazing. But this is my least favorite book of them. The story was kind of boring and the female character Raven was annoying.

Not my favorite
