    About this audiobook

    On a cold night in Australia, two construction workers driving along a deserted mountain road are gunned down inside their vehicle. The killings are fast. Efficient.

    An assassination, carried out with expert precision. The only witness to the crime is a man resting by the side of the road. Recently retired, he'd flown halfway across the world to escape his demons.

    Ex-U.S. black ops operative Jason King.

    Quickly spotted, King is targeted by those in the shadows of a small country town, ruthless killers determined to tie up loose ends. They have no knowledge of the violent past they are about to revive . . .

      I have finally found a hero similar to Jack Reacher! Not so similar as to imitate, but the basic idea is just as good! Can’t wait to start the next one!!

      Poorly written. Thin characters. Plot making no sense at all.
    • 5/5
      What an amazing thriller this is! This story starts out with Jason King seeing two men shot in their car. The assassins spot him and attempt to kill him. He kills them instead. Being an ex black ops operative in the U.S. he can handle just about any situation quickly and quietly. As he gets to know the people in the small town of Jameson, Australia he realizes the assassinations he saw are just a small part of what's going on in this little town. Is it a coincidence that so many people are dying in the town that he's passing through or is it because of him?This is a fast moving story full of action. It's the kind of book that keeps you thinking about what is going on and why. Jason King had been extremely well trained when he was in the military so he never has a problem dispensing of any bad guy quickly. I did think it was a bit extreme that Jason took out 10 men but it was quite believable in this story. Even with all the killing Jason did, I liked him a lot because he always jumped in when he saw something wrong then would find out why this happened and who ordered it in the first place.I'm glad I was offered a copy of this book from the author because I like Jason King and will definitely be reading the rest of this series. Please note that I am reviewing this book on my own as I do with everything I read. Not because I was asked to.

      What a pleasant surprise - Isolated and the protagonist, Jason King - a force to be reckoned with. If you enjoy Jack Reacher, Jack Noble, Michael Bennett, John Cory and Jesse McDermitt novels, then don't miss this series. They are all shrewd, well-trained, and get the job done.Jason King has recently retired and relocated to Australia...far from his past...far from people who know him...looking to relax and kick back...enjoying life! However, he never gets a chance. From the very first page when he observes a "hit" on two construction workers from a nearby worksite until the very end of the book...neither reader or Jason King will have a moment to relax! Matt Rogers makes sure of that! As a former Black Ops operator, Jason King is considered to be the best in the trade. Now that he is no longer in the agency, a caper unfolds in a place that he never expected. When he sees somebody wronged, Jason will step in to help and make things right again. The author continues to make readers guess on the outcome, continuing to change things up until the final scenes. My only regret is that the postal carrier isn't compensated for his vehicle.I thoroughly enjoyed this first book in the series and feel like the author could be ranked with those mentioned in the opening sentence. I am going to download the second book when I finish writing this. Hail a new hero! Great job Mr. Rogers!John Podlaski, author"Cherries - A Vietnam War Novel" and "When Can I Stop Running?"
