The Sam Pope Series: Books 1-3

The Sam Pope Boxsets, Book 1

The first three thrillers in the international best-selling Sam Pope series: The Night Shift, The Takers and Long Road Home.

Join the fight.

The explosive series begins with The Night Shift, where ex-sniper Sam Pope leads his own investigation into a bombing at the London Marathon, setting himself on a collision course with some of the most dangerous criminals in London.

The Takers sees Sam continue his one man war on organized crime, as the search for a missing girl leads him into a war with a sickening human trafficking empire.

And lastly, Long Road Home finds Sam in Europe, racing against the clock to locate his former mentor who is being hunted under the suspicion of terrorism.

Hard to follow

Overall, I thought the storyline was good. However, the constant reminiscing of things passed by all characters makes the plot line difficult to follow. With that being said, I only gave it a three star rating.

Action packed but need better voice for female Alex

Tons of crazy action kept me interested. There was one character the reader made sound like a poor imitation of Elmer Fudd, otherwise no complaints.

Good character premise

I liked the character Sam Pope. But by the 3rd book I was quite tired of hearing the name repeated more times than was necessary. Blurred lines and the death of his son were over emphasized as well. The narrator is not my favorite because like others have mentioned his accent abilities are not very good. I can see that the author has a good character but his knowledge of the subject matter of being a former elite soldier, and weapons knowledge is not well understood. The past/present jumping around was a bit hard to follow at times and out of place more often than was necessary in my opinion. Reading reviews of future books in the series this seems to be a recurring issue. The character is certainly likable but the writing style and the narrator leaves a poor impression overall.

Decent Writing, Distractingly Bad American Accents

Wanted to enjoy, and I really tried, listening to 3 books & starting a 4th. the stories themselves are okay; I just couldn't get past the appallingly bad American accents.

Lackluster

I think the best way that I can describe these books is that they feel like the paint by numbers versions of novels. The author has a pension for repeating the same adjectives ad nauseam. I downloaded this collection because it had been compared to reacher. Well, let’s just say they entirely missed that mark.
