About this listen
FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR
‘Deadly conspiracies, bone-crunching action and a tormented hero with a heart . . . packs a real punch’ Andy McDermott
THE HUNT IS ON
When a sniper leaves Ben Hope’s friend fighting for his life, the former SAS major declares war on the men responsible. But what begins as a straightforward revenge mission gets complicated when a mysterious letter reveals Ben to be the real target.
And his isn’t the only name on a crazed killer’s list.
Professor Anna Manzini has no idea she’s in grave danger from a man she’d thought dead. She’s on the cusp of a major discovery: the location of the lost Babylon idol, a golden statue of immeasurable value.
But when word of Anna’s work reaches her enemies, it sets off a cat-and-mouse chase that will lead Ben and Anna halfway across Europe and into the heart of war-torn Syria.
To reach the precious idol first, Ben must keep one step ahead of a powerful maniac. If he fails, it won’t just be Ben and Anna’s lives in danger, but the world.
The Ben Hope series is a must-listen for fans of Dan Brown, Lee Child and Mark Dawson. Join the millions of readers who get breathless with anticipation when the countdown to a new Ben Hope thriller begins…
Whilst the Ben Hope thrillers can be read in any order, this is the fifteenth book in the series.

Getting predictable
I suppose it's inevitable when a writer has a limited subject matter but it is getting very formulaic- mad greedy bad guy with army of mercenaries- intellectual damsel in distress- Ben Hopes SAS training beats all comers - wins in the end. But this time it was all very predictable. I'm a big fan but I got bored in the middle there when he had to use too much narrative to explain the plot.

The Babylon Idol
As gripping as its predecessors in the series, this story sees Ben Hope chasing from Europe to the Middle East in search of an antique relic which of course has others seeking it as well ... I’d love to encourage Audible to edit out Colin Mace’s swallowing after every few sentences, though!

Here we go again!!
Being in severe heart failure with a defibrillator in my chest, I’m constantly afraid it will discharge !! These books of Mr Mariani should come with a government health warning.

Not as Good.
I've read all of the previous Ben Hope books and this one is very weak in comparison. It was not a gripping story and did not appear to have any substance. I hope book 16 will be back on form.

Enjoyable
Again, it’s Scott Mariani, Colin Mace and Ben Hope, what’s not to love?
Although this one wasn’t gory as the last but it was a little preachy with Ben knowing so many experts!
On to the next!

Another good Ben Hope adventure..
Another good Ben Hope instalment, which revisits aspects of a previous story line, bringing it to a conclusion The usual action and adventure you'd expect from Scott Mariani. I really can't recommend the Ben Hope Series enough.
Great narration from Colin Mace once again.

Another epic adventure
Loved it from start to finish. Great adventure with Ben Hope back in the saddle ...
(There were a few bad sound edits which surely could’ve been edited better with todays technology)
