Publisher's summary

You can give up killing, but death never leaves you....

After a lifetime of hunting down criminals, Ryan just wants to live out his days in peace and in the shadows of Tokyo to grieve the loss of his wife and son. But his old team - the Nameless, experts in extraction and recon - comes with an urgent request for help. The young daughter of one of his closest friends, a girl he once treated as his own, has been kidnapped.

The search leads Ryan and his team into the Japanese mountains and a town steeped in secrets that a new sinister adversary wishes to keep hidden. He begins to unravel a deep, macabre plot that goes far beyond this missing girl. With enemies from the past remerging, they begin targeting members of the Nameless. Ryan quickly realizes that no matter how hard he tries to leave this world behind, it will never let him go until he defeats his demons. Those demons are not just after him, and if they aren’t stopped, it could put all of humanity at risk.

ok

the narration was decent enough. the story was good if you're into apocalyptic stuff. I needed an ending not a cliffhanger. I don't want to be forced to listen to the next book especially, if it wasn't awesome.

Hooked

hook line and sinker! I'm a fan can't wait to start book 2. great story.........the characters are easy to get behind and the twist, keep coming. There is alot going on in the book with events all over the world and main characters scattered but the writer made very easy to follow I enjoyed this book and look forward to the series 😀

not for me

shooting. No plot. can't get into this book at all. Not for me. Very boring
Update . I listened again. This is written differently than what i am used to, I guess. It was hard to follow.
Enhancing and destroying the human body. Either you turn to ashes instantly or you heal yourself within seconds.
i will never understand the desire to destroy God's creations.

Complicated story

Was a little hard to follow the storyline at times with all the different names.

Good story with excellent narration

Thrilling story with people doing things all over the world trying to figure out what is threatening civilization as we know it. The narrator does an excellent job with inflection and accents so you know without a doubt which character is speaking. Great book if you like spy thrillers, sci-fi, dystopian worlds etc.

Couldn't get past the narration

The story seem to have great potential due to the different angle that the writer took. Unfortunately the narration makes you want to fall asleep, I finally had to stop, I just couldn’t see myself spending another eight hours listening to narration that didn’t seem to understand how to bring the story to life.

Thorough Plot and Back Stories made this Enjoyable

Covert Ops, Action and Zombie like creatures!
Well executed plot with characters that are likable. I will buy the next book in the series.
Different and entertaining to keep me coming back. The narrative was good with characters well preformed.
