Summary

A suicide bomber boards a crowded bus in central London. Ex-SAS captain Gabriel Wolfe, now struggling with PTSD, is having a coffee just yards away. In the ensuing carnage, Gabriel is plunged into a bloody memory of his last, botched mission.

Plagued by visions of the dead comrade he left behind, Gabriel now freelances for The Department, a secret British Government hit squad. He wants to take out whoever ordered the attack.

Gabriel's desire for vengeance leads him to Eden, the Brazilian rainforest compound of a religious cult called The Children of Heaven. The cult's leader is "Père Christophe", a psychopath with a taste for fine wines, Mozart, and extreme violence.

But when Gabriel arrives, he is brainwashed, brutalized, and fitted for his own suicide vest. Then his real battle begins. To prevent more deaths...including his own.

This edge-of-your-seat action thriller is the third full-length outing for Andy Maslen's "hero among us", Gabriel Wolfe. Condor combines heart-stopping action with nightmarish scenes of psychological breakdown.

Fans of Lee Child, James Patterson, Vince Flynn, and Daniel Silva are already saluting Maslen as an author to watch. If you like your heroes flawed as well as resourceful, you'll love Gabriel Wolfe.

Why change narrator when last one was good

Sure it's not his fault the narrator has a lisp! Makes it hard to hear the story. All I heal is the poor narration. I'm only a few minutes into the book and I'm tearing my hair out.

Excellent continuation of the Gabriel Wolfe story.

Enjoyable multiple character threads combined with visceral descriptions of 'actions'. Now to the next in the series.

Horrid narrator

Sorry, but someone with a speech impediment and noisy mouth doesn’t help when wearing headphones... the character voices are poor and all the same.

The original American narrator seemed a little robot like but turned out to highly better and much more listenable than this chap. I’m returning this book and the next one due to this

Narrator!?

This is the third in the series that I have listened to in order. The story is good but a little too long maybe. Seemed to drag in places. Overall still a good yarn. But why, oh why, did they change the narrator?! This guy sounds like he has a speech impediment! And some of his pronunciation sounds like he’s never heard of the word. Definitely a backward move.

best Gabriel wolfe story so far

they changed the narrator for this book. god knows why. the new chap has a speech impediment which really makes it hard to grasp the characters and is such a massive change from the 1st two books. I really struggled to start but if you can get past it, stick with it as I really enjoyed this particular story. my favourite so far. I have got used to the narrator too. I know he reads book 4 also which I'm about to start, but as of book 5 they revert back to the 1st and original narrator.

I really like the Gabriel Wolfe series and I'll continue to listen to all of them. This is a thumbs up from me

Takes a little determination but its worth it.

I read the first two books and really enjoyed them. Easy to get into, etc.
Yes, the narrator changed for this 3rd one but I think they did a good job.
I struggled with the first few chapters - maybe it was too subtle for me - but I stuck with it out of respect for Andy Maslen. By the time I was 1/2 to 2/3 in I was “on the page” and was enjoying the story.

Brilliant!

I cannot state how much I enjoyed this book. It was amazing. Thank you.
The change of narrator was disconcerting at the start but was overcome by the story itself. I don't normally write reviews but had to say something about this book.
Better than Reacher in my opinion and that's saying something.

Disappointed

After reading a negative review about the change in narrator from the previous 2 books, I thought I’d make my own decision. I lasted about half way through chapter 1, sadly I have to agree that even though I loved the first two books, I just can’t engage with the performance, the diction is just sub par for this series of audio books.

Mistake

If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?

Potentially people who are familiar with this new narrator

Would you ever listen to anything by Andy Maslen again?

Most definitely, just need to change the narrator

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Genuine disappointment, I was really looking forward to the next instalment but I couldn't connect with the 'wrong' voice of the protagonist.

Any additional comments?

Would re-buy if Gethyn Edwards was brought back
