Summary

Going Back is the electrifying third novel in Neil Lancaster’s Tom Novak series, described by Tony Parsons as making “Jason Bourne look like a vegan pilates teacher”.

Novak is back. Answering a call from his old friend and comrade-in-arms Mike Brogan, Tom Novak finds himself back in the one place he does not want to be, the home of his childhood nightmares: Sarajevo.

Undercover and thrust into the centre of a Black Op, Tom and his team are double-crossed and forced to rely on their wits as a deadly new threat emerges. Forced into a race against time to stop a terrifyingly effective new weapon, can Tom fight against the odds once more to save not just those he loves, but the world as we know it?

Critic reviews

"If you take all the best parts of 24, Line Of Duty, and Mission Impossible, and put them in one book, then you would have something very much like Going Back. An incredible, exciting read." (Cass Green)

Great listen

Enjoyable listen. Good narration, no gratuitous violence compared to other authors of this genre.

A cliff hanger

another great adventure with DS Novak, Pet, Mike and Buster. Scenario is all too frighteningly possible in today's weird world

Effects

A fun story, full of action. Perhaps too happy an ending.

Some voice effects were used which makes some of the narration a bit hard to hear.

The narrator pronounce “Koch” in Heckler & Koch a bit peculiarly towards the end, with an s-sound, though I might have heard the correct English version at the beginning. He did seem to pronounce Loch with a proper Scottish ch-sound (not lock), so that was nice.

Apart from these two points I enjoyed listening

3 in a row

I listened to the Tom Novak trilogy (so far anyways) back to back and apart from some narration issues with book 1 (the narration speed had to be increased to make it enjoyable) I can say unreservedly that I loved these books, the author has experience with both military and police and it shows in the detail

Excellent

Very good and fast moving. The narrative was sometimes a bit stilted but didn't spoil the overall story.

A real thriller!

I enjoyed it all so much so that I have lost a lot of sleep listening to chapter after chapter. I hope there are more reads equally as exciting as this to follow.
