Publisher's Summary

A tense and nerve-shattering classic from the highly acclaimed master of action and suspense.

Good book; Awful narrator

A good narrator can make a book, an awful narrator ruins a good book. This narrator thinks that the only way narrate is for long dramatic pauses. If you removed his pauses you would shave off an hour of the book. His style is irritating to say the least. I know I will never buy another book Jonathan Oliver has narrated.

Fabulous adventure story from the master!

A tense, gripping and fun adventure story. The narrator does a great job with the voices and characters.
