Summary
An explosive international thriller from the Hollywood legend and British icon Sir Michael Caine.
DCI Harry Taylor has no respect for red tape or political reputations - but he's great at catching criminals.
And all his unorthodox skills will be needed as an extraordinary situation unfolds on his doorstep: a metal box of radioactive material is found at a dump in Stepney, East London, but before the police can arrive it is stolen in a violent raid.
With security agencies across the world on red alert, it's Harry and his unconventional team from the Met who must hit the streets in search of a lead. They soon have two wildly different suspects, aristocratic art dealer Julian Smythe in London and oligarch Vladimir Voldrev in Barbados. But the pressure is on. How much time does Harry have, and how many more players will join the action, before the missing uranium is lighting up the sky?
Deadly Game is a compelling, fast-paced audiobook of international intrigue and twisting suspense from a legendary actor and British icon, who now proves himself to be a first-rate thriller writer.

Bit improbable story but the hero survives.
East end villains and international plot - what I expected from Michael Caine. Passed the time but some bird dragged a lot. Good twist at the end.

Very clever twist
I really liked the plot and was left guessing till the end. A very well organised story with intricate detail. It's a shame about the narration though, it really dulled the story. The narrators voice is like a flat monotone with no differentiation between characters. At the start, I had to keep rewinding because I didn't know who was speaking. I only stuck with it because I love Michael Caine and wanted to hear his story.

Hopefully a New Detective series
Very enjoyable. Would highly recommend as a new author of trillers. Can’t wait for the next book from Michael Caine.

not for me
I really wanted to like this book, but found it predictable nothing new, but it most certainly was not helped by the narrator (sorry)
I gave it a chance and listened to the whole book, I guessed right (wont say anything for those that are going to listen) did not return it but wanted too,
Next book |(as I am sure there will be one) get another narrator as a good narrator makes the book 100% better!!

I Expected Better
The narration was bad for this kind of book. Too slow, I needed to increase the speed. Unlike other detective audios, it did not capture the action.
The story got better towards the end,
I finished it is the best I can say.

Excelent read.
This was a fabulous first book. I really hope we get to see Harry Taylor again.
The book moved at a good pace, the characterers were all strong and well drawn. It had the right amount of drama and plenty of action! Such an interesting story line, and very relevent with the use of Eurainium being featured as the wepon of choice.
The only bit that had me thinking "hold on, this is taking things to far" was when we were asked to believe it had been possible to make Julius and Volva were one and the same person! otherwise i with you all the way. Love it, give us more please.

Great listen
what a great book! really well written, no silly Hollywood fight scenes, no pointless love interests, just a very believable story! Brilliantly read by Eddie Marsden. I hope Mr Caine has another one on the typewriter!!!

paced well but iffy plot
