Summary

Following a suicide bombing in central London, series SAS hero Danny Black is recruited to be part of an assassination squad, directed by a joint MI5/MI6/CIA committee and tasked with hunting down and killing the terrorist cells believed to be planning further atrocities. Early leads take them to a North London mosque and a one-armed hate cleric, whom the Home Secretary repeatedly tries and fails to expel from the country, a sleazy Saudi prince living in a Park Lane Hotel - on the surface a devout Muslim, he devotes himself to booze, drugs and hookers as soon as his family are out of the building - and a grizzled ex-Regiment guy who is spreading rumours that Diana was assassinated by the SAS in the tunnel in Paris because of her Arab lover.

The trail of clues takes Danny to a training camp in the Yemen, but just as he has the enemy in his sights, he discovers that they are somehow one step ahead of him, and he begins to suspect that they are being topped off by someone close to home.

Narration is a BIG disappointment!!

I listened to Danny Black 1, Masters of War, narrated by Jamie Parker. Jamie makes it sound convincing with punchy delivery. However, then I listened to Danny Black 2, Hunter-Killer, narrated by Michael Fenner. I was very disappointed! Story is good, BUT, Michale makes the whole thing sound corny! Terrible! Michael uses colloquial UK accents and renders special ops guys sound simple-minded and witless. Bring back Jamie Parker or I remain very hesitant to purchase any more Chris Ryan novels.

Thuggish Depiction

In the first book the narrator (Jamie Parker) portrayed Danny Black as articulate and the accents of all characters were realistically subtle. Michael Fenner portrays Danny as a grunting thug, and many of the characters sound as if they’ve stepped off the set of Little Britain. Disappointing.

A definate must listen.

Where does Hunter-Killer rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This has to be in my top 3 best books.

What other book might you compare Hunter-Killer to, and why?

I would compare this to Zero Six Bravo, for it's intense and gripping storyline.

Have you listened to any of Michael Fenner’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Michael Fenner always manages to hold the attention of the listener with his fantastic narration ability.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The poles... The meeting...

Any additional comments?

Well worth a listen, makes the tedious days at work fly by...

Fast paced and intriguing

What made the experience of listening to Hunter-Killer the most enjoyable?

Excellent narration made this a book that kept me listening through the night! Not my usual genre, but this gung ho action thriller was intriguing. Some elements of truth woven into a doublethink plot about terror attacks and who's really responsible. Neat false flag scenario? We'll never know

Standard fare

To be honest, you know what you're going to get from a Chris Ryan book, so I wasn't disappointed. What I was disappointed with was the narration- poor interpretations if the characters, far too whiney and annoying

Great story, terrible narration

I stuck with this book until the end, but only because I know how good it is having read the whole series several years ago. The narration in the first Danny black book was great, but this is truly terrible. The worst thing has to be the comical accents. Every attempt at an accent sounds like someone is attempting to do a joke regional accent. I made myself finish this one because I don’t like giving up halfway through, but unfortunately I definitely won’t be listening to any more in the series.

Good story, shame about the narrator

The narrator has ruined this for me. This is a serious gory action thriller and the characters voices are completely unrealistic, don’t fit and have been made into something that sounds like a comedy.
I have had to stop listening. The narrator that read the first Book in the Black series was much better
