The Eagle's Talon By A.P. Bateman is another thrilling entry in the Alex King series! It is fast-paced and packed with action from start to finish. Joe Mills delivers a superb performance, his narration brings the characters to life with intensity and precision. The ambient sound effects and background audio heighten the experience, making it feel like an immersive cinematic adventure. If you're a fan of espionage and action this is a must listen. Highly recommended!

Joe Mills is on top form, bringing the characters and action alive in your ears. From the start this is fast-paced and packed with action to finish. King finds himself in the middle of what is espionage, His mission is to destroy a Russian secret weapon. This is one of his toughest mission yet, as nothing is as it seems. Action, pace and angst.

Close run up to date espionage thriller .

I liked the fact it is so close to contemporary war situation which carries a warning to all nations of possible developments in aerial weaponry beyond present thinking.
A modern take on the ultimate flying assault machine.
