Arliss Cutter, Book 5

By: Marc Cameron

Narrated by: David Chandler

A train ride through the austere beauty of Alaska’s icy wilderness becomes a harrowing fight for survival at the Gateway to the Arctic in the thrilling new Arliss Cutter adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of TOM CLANCY POWER AND EMPIRE.

Off the northeast coast of Russia, the captain and crew of a small crabbing vessel are brutally murdered by members of Bratva, the Russian mafia—their bodies stuffed into crab pots and thrown overboard. The killers scuttle the vessel off the coast of Alaska and slip ashore.

In Washington, DC, Supreme Court Justice Charlotte Morehouse prepares for a trip to Alaska, unaware that a killer is waiting to take his revenge—by livestreaming her death to the world.

In Anchorage, Alaska, Deputy US Marshals Arliss Cutter and Lola Teariki are assigned to security detail at a judicial conference in Fairbanks. Lola is tasked with guarding Justice Townsend’s teenaged daughter while Cutter provides counter-surveillance. It’s a simple, routine assignment—until the mother and daughter decide to explore the Alaskan wilderness on the famous Glacier Discovery train. Hiding onboard are the Chechen terrorists, who launch a surprise attack. While they seize control of the engine, Cutter manages to escape with Justice Townsend by jumping off the moving train—and into the unforgiving wilderness.

With no supplies and no connection to the outside world, Cutter and the judge must cross a treacherous terrain to stay alive. Two of the terrorists are close behind. The others are on the train with the judge’s daughter—and they plan to execute her on camera. With so many lives at stake, Cutter knows there are only two options left: catch the train and kill them all . . . or all will be killed.

“One hell of a book. Sharply drawn characters, intense action scenes, and a captivating narrative result in a white-knuckle thrill ride.”—Simon Gervais, former RCMP counterterrorism officer and bestselling author of The Last Protector

“Great action in a colorful setting. This is fun!”—Kirkus STARRED Review

Comparable to John Sandford

Excellent story & narration. Dry sense of humor. Lots of action. Nice job of character development. I have thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Very interesting story!

I enjoyed the depth of the characters as well as an interesting and well spun story!

All the Facts

One becomes enmeshed in the story line by Native facts. All the different families involved and how entangled they are. His gun facts and all logistic information one could not make up are never ending. No one has a sketchy back story. Every character is fleshed out.

Arliss and Mim

I’m glad we are going to find out what happened to Ethan. I’m also happy that Arliss and Mim are getting together!!

best one yet

complicated threads brought masterfully together to an exciting conclusion that was extremely entertaining. I just hope we get to see the back story come to a head. ? next installment?
Love the Arliss character, at least as much as any of the Ryan characters in the Clancy series
Keep it coming!
