About this listen

The second installment in the legendary Matt Helm thrillers.

Matt Helm, code name Eric, has been recently reactivated as an operative for a secret American government organization after 15 years as a sedentary photographer and family man in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In his first assignment after returning to the service, he is sent to Sweden to eliminate Caselius, a long-time enemy agent. In order to do so, he must leave a trail of bodies in his wake.

Originally released in the era of the James Bond novels, the Matt Helm novels were considered grittier and more realistic than Bond, garnering them critical praise and an ardent audience.

A fine thriller of its type, superbly read.

This is a period piece, hair-raisingly un-politically correct, but a fine example of this kind of taut masculine thriller. The writing is above the level of pulp, and surprisingly emotionally intelligent, as the hero struggles with the traumatic realities of war and even divorce. The sex is grown up and not leering; the violence is convincing. The plot is -- well, an espionage plot, no one's pretending this is documentary. Unlike so many sloppy and unintelligent Audible audio performances, this benefits from an almost perfect read, supported by obviously excellent production from its female producer.

Ruthless

Of its time but well written and enjoyable. Very different from the movies starring Dean Martin

A series for all Reacher fans

Good narration, good characters and a long series yippee!
As far as I'm concerned that's all I need to say.
