About this listen

Moscow, Russia

The Kremlin activates a deadly assassin. Across the city, a massive bombing kills hundreds.

Washington DC, USA

The President believes the Kremlin is preparing for a new Cold War.

Langley, USA

With the world on the brink, the CIA has only one Asset capable of preventing catastrophe, but that man is AWOL. They have to find him.

But some men don't want to be found.

The Russian by Saul Herzog is the stunning second instalment in the series that has taken the publishing industry, and Hollywood rights departments, by storm. This dazzling tour de force is a full standalone novel. From the mind of one of the most creative and versatile writers working in America today, this book will surely go down as a classic of the spy thriller genre.

If you listen to only one book this year, this is it. Action, adventure, rebellion, provocative foreign agents, characters you can sink your teeth into. If you're looking for a new spy thriller series that will stay with you long after you finish listening, look no further.

Recommended for fans of Lee Child's Jack Reacher, Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp, Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne, and Brad Thor's Scot Harvath.

Great series

We’ve been looking for a new series to read sometime that can compare to Mitch Rapp, Jack Reacher, Scott Harvath and several others. Excited to finally have found one. The author doesn’t sound like he took his books straight from the same mold as many others. There have been several plots and turns. You can also see the growth in his characters from book to book. Anticipating what’s to come in the series.

Great Action

This is a great story, tough guy book. It’s also subtly insightful of the twisted political deceptions all too close to the current affairs.

Wow, this might be better than the first.

I loved the first book and was looking forward to reading the second book after the way the first book ended. I must say I was blown away. I could not stop listening; it held on to me and wouldn't let go until the last word. I am a fan.

Just as good as the 1st in this series

Such a good book to listen to. Accents are an added plus when so well done. Some narrators attempt accents but sound so strange that they can be hard to understand. Not the case for Jay Myers. He is very good. This book has an excellent story line. Look forward to book 3, The Target!!!

A tense book patriotism and betrayal.

Loved this book and has added to my desire to continue this story. Lance is a true patriot and despite his desire to escape the life he had he has no choice but to do the right thing for his country despite them stabbing him in the back.
Reaching for the next book now!
