great series

One of A select few, This is a series where each additional edition is as good as or better than the first. This author has not just thrown his name on a bunch of words who happen to have the same characters, he genuinely writes each new book as if it’s his first. Like Lee Child writing the ‘Reacher’ series, prior to him passing on the tourch to his son Andrew who can’t write to save his life and destroyed that series. This series is on par with the Harry Boure series.

I think this was book 20 of the series and I am compelled to continue with the remaining few books. The plots are reasonably involved and the characters interesting.

But I do keep finding the occasional errors in the later books that were not so obvious in the first ones. Some times just a spelling or missed word. But in the last book strange flaws like saying every star represented a galaxy. Or that the steering lock on a London taxi was 180 degrees.
Could Ai be somehow creeping into the production of the series?

Another winner

A great story that will keep you turning pages til the end. King and team battle cyber attacks threatening an e.l.e., but with no leads where do they begin. In a quick action packed suspenseful ride they have to find a way to stop it. Loved this book

Brilliantly Written

Yet again, another barnstormer, AP knows how to write a great story. With plenty of action and intrigue. Some series tend to peter out after a while, but these just keep on giving.

Good exciting and often funny

Great read. Ready it at work, very long coffee and toilet breaks!! Could not put it down.
Love the funny banter between the main caracters.
Can't wait for the next book.

I think this is the best of the Alex King books so far. A fast action Thriller with interesting well developed characters it's real edge of the seat listening which Joe Mills's narration really brings to life. Higly Recommended and worth more than the 5 stars permitted.

Not bad

Enjoyable to an extent and at times fast moving but a little too much gun information for me. Gun lovers will love it

Put the world back together again

Loved it. A gripping read from start to finish. Possibly my favourite of Bateman's King series so far... And now for the climax!
