About this listen
February, 2022. Russia invades Ukraine, the biggest attack on a European country since World War I. Matt 'Lastman' Standing and a crack SAS team are sent into the war zone. Their mission - to help the Ukrainians defend their country from the Russian invaders. But when Russian mercenaries begin committing atrocities and war crimes in occupied Ukraine, MI6 decides to change the rules of engagement.
Standing and his team are given new orders - to take out the Russian president, one of the most protected men in the world. It has all the makings of a suicide mission, but Standing is the last man to turn down a challenge.

Not his best work
Ok but not SL’s best work. Slow to get going and didn’t grip me anywhere near as much as many of his previous books

Disappointing
I count myself as a fan of the Author, but this story, although topical, just drowned the reader in colonial gung-ho. The SAS would save the world!

it's always Paul Thornley voice and narration. simply wonderful.
Full of energy, humour and excellent forces detail, of which I'm familiar with. Sometimes it's too much detail. I don't need to know the model numbers of all the weaponry. it feels like Stephen is filling word number requirements.

Wow!
Wow! This is yet another brilliant listen from the master of the thriller genre, Stephen Leather. Well written with plenty of good characters. Edge of the seat listening from start to finish, just remember to breathe occasionally. Narration is outstanding from yet another master Mr Paul Thornley. Highly Recommended.

Usual 5☆ narration.
Was eagerly waiting for Standing no4 but i was a bit disappointed in the story. Im a big fan of Shepherd and now Standing but i found this story lacking compared to the previous three. Paul kept it alive with his usual top rate narrating.

Super Standing
Good story overall but lacks in the usual high credibility, realism and detail, not a normal S Leather read, Standing promised excellent adventure but at times the storyline searches for the next adventure just to make the book longer, lost its way doing this, no sub-plot and additional character storyline. Disappointing read, at times it felt tired and written as a fill-in. As a dedicated fan it failed to engage and entertain me, normally there’s a full story but this was one mission after another but in real life Standing and his troop can’t be the only team in the Regiment and he can’t be left alone to command every time, every opportunity, every time single handedly, the military and especially its SNCOs don’t ignore mental issues and nor does the service, especially its high performance echelons.

Good Listen
I really like the Matt Standing books and this was a really good ride with humour, action and suspense from our likeable hero. Well narrated by Paul Thornley.

implausible story
I did like the insight into details of the Ukranian war and the story itself was okay. However, the implausibility of the British government sanctioning the main plot just made me lose interest. Some people really like the narration of PT. I think his voice is good, but his long pauses at the end of every sentence is so annoying.

This is yet another brilliant listen from the master of the thriller genre, Stephen Leather. Well written with plenty of good characters working in an environment that is current and very disturbing. Edge of the seat listening from start to finish, just remember to breathe occasionally. Narration is good by Paul Thornley
