About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A Financial Times Best Thriller of the Year 2023

If, like Kane, you're a Denied Access Area spy for the CIA, then boundaries have no meaning. Your function is to go in, do whatever is required, and get out again - by whatever means necessary. You know when to run, when to hide - and when to shoot.

But some places don't play by the rules. Some places are too dangerous, even for a man of Kane's experience. The badlands where the borders of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan meet are such a place - a place where violence is the only way to survive.

Kane travels there to exfiltrate a man with vital information for the safety of the West - but instead he meets an adversary who will take the world to the brink of extinction. A frightening, clever, vicious man with blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart...

‘Utterly gripping, elegantly written... most definitely worth the wait’ Observer
'Epic and immersive, new and unexpected... deep and compelling' Mail on Sunday
'Compare this with the thrillers written by Mr or Mrs Clinton, and you come away feeling that Hayes is the one who has more inside knowledge' Telegraph

Great book, though I never thought I’d get through 29 hours. I hope there are more but unlikely.

While a very long book, Hayes’s keeps the pace moving along a on a very wide story arc. An enjoyable read and good sequel to I am Pilgrim.

Great sequel

I’ve seen many bad reviews about the twist in part 3 - but clearly those were not paying close enough attention to the wolves! I loved this book, and loved that the writer didn’t spell everything out but allowed the reader to interpret part 3 as sci-fi, or living the premonition that he’s had through the entire book.

Excellent story and writer!

Excellent read!!

Absolute masterpiece

The sci fi futuristic bit was too unreal for me. I felt a little betrayed by it.

A great story

Truly outstanding

The style of writing is great. Good storyline even though it strays into sci fi at the end. A really great read nevertheless. Not forgetting the awesome narration - simply the best!Highly recommended.

Interesting & exciting thread throughout
