About this listen
When things get rough, we should all have a friend like Ben Hope…
Retired army sergeant Boonzie McCulloch travels to the wintry Highlands of Scotland to help a relative in danger, but is soon deeper in it himself than he’d bargained for. Ruthless, controlling thugs are running amok across the region and will kill anybody to get their hands on a historic hoard of lost gold treasure.
But the villains haven’t reckoned on what’s coming their way. Because when you mess with an old comrade of ex-SAS major Ben Hope, you’re bringing a whole world of trouble down on yourself. Once he gets started he won’t stop until he gets the job done. With Hope on the war path, the snowy Highland wilderness is about to warm up considerably…
A gripping must-read for fans of Jack Reacher and John Milton series.
Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the twenty-first book in the series following House of War.
People can’t get enough of Ben Hope’s adventures:‘Compelling from the first page until the last, Mariani and his fabulous protagonist Ben Hope entertain in a gripping tale that will have you turning the pages well into the night’ Mark Dawson
‘Like the father of the modern thriller, Frederick Forsyth, Mariani has a knack for embedding his plots in the fears and preoccupations of their time … the action scenes come thick and fast, each one choreographed with painful authenticity’ Shots Magazine
‘Thrilling. Scott Mariani is at the top of his game’ Andy McDermott
‘History, action, devious scheming and eye-opening detail. Mariani delivers a twisting storyline’ David Leadbeater

Excellent
Another excellent yarn with the indefatigable Ben Hope. You have to suspend belief a little, eg. Finding a pile of RDX explosive just lying around, but a very enjoyable story nonetheless. Colin Mace excellent as always.

Another fantastic story!!
From beginning to end, the storyline was fantastic with enough action to keep you captivated. I had awaited with much anticipation for the next offering from Scott Mariani and I was not disappointed. Colin Mace also brought the characters alive brilliantly. I listened in one sitting...well almost one sitting lol. I had to replay the last five chapters as I was determined to stay awake at 2:00am but tiredness got the better of me. Nonetheless I awoke an hour later and finished it :-).
It was a very good listen and would recommend this to avid action themed readers. If you have not followed this series, you could start here to whet your appetite and not be lost, as each book stands on its own. However, I guarantee you would want to explore the other adventures of Former Major Ben Hope.So go ahead and enjoy!
Thank you Mr Scott Mariani and Mr Colin Mace. I look forward to meeting you on the next adventure!

Excellent narration
A bit over the top and far fetched in places but I got to say I really enjoyed this listen. The narrator was excellent.

Splendid action and tense plots throughout.
Really great book, and a very different opening to the usual Ben Hope escapade. Delivered in every way, but left open the question of the treasured sought-after artifact.... What happened?
