About this listen
He tried to think how many men he had killed and could not remember. "How many do you need to kill before you lose count?" he wondered.
Sir Stephen Mendal, head of MI6, looked up from the report. Apparently an unknown secret organization had been recruiting ex-MI6 agents, specifically those that specialized in "wet work", the nasty side of the business. One of these old employees had just been shot dead by the authorities whilst robbing a bank in Switzerland.
He had to know more. What was this organization up to, and why employ such specialists? He decided he needed a spy.
On his desk were a number of manila folders all marked "Top Secret" in thick red ink. He went through each of them in detail before selecting one, Paul Bradley's, a merciless killer with innumerable hits to his credit. A lonely, hard, clever man coming to the end of his days in the field. Perfect, thought Mendal. But at this time in his life, would Bradley be willing to go it alone, to play the sacrificial lamb? If not, then perhaps he should just throw him to the wolves and see what happens.
So begins the hunt for the New Templars, a ruthless organization with seemingly unlimited resources out to change the world as we know it.

This war of attrition
After 34 years on the dirty 'wet work's side of MI6, Paul Bradley is fired, too old, "no place anywhere in this organisation to you." Still bound by the Official Secrets Act, he has to return everything else and decides that, rather than stay on in London, he'll move back to the home he owns in Lewis. And wait...
New Templars is a well written, straightforward thriller of the old school. Exciting, the dialogue is natural and the characterisation of the main character is good, building throughout the story. Nice cameos of the other protagonists, too. The book is well narrated by Paul Jenkins, English with a voice suited to the character being portrayed. His reading is clear, fast paced and with good understanding and interpretation of the story. He also gives distinctive voicings to each of the protagonists who appear.
I would like to thank the rights holder of An Assassin for the New Templars who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. I enjoyed it and look forward to any follow up stories about Paul Bradley.
