Meet the Tiger

A Simon “The Saint” Templar Novel

By: Leslie Charteris

Narrated by: John Rayburn

The characters and events portrayed in this book are fictitious. Any similarity to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental.

The fiction world of today needs a “Saint” more than it ever did. For years now that scene has been dominated by the “anti-heroes"—those grim gray operators in a sunless sub-culture where global issues are worked out with totally unemotional pragmatism, those hapless uninspired puppets manipulated and expended by ruthlessly dedicated little brothers of Big Brother. It made morbidly fascinating narrative, but it never gave anyone a lift until it climaxed in the hyper-gadgeted parodies of 007 extravaganzas. That there will always be a public old-style hero, who had a clear idea of justice, and a more than technical approach to love, and the ability to have some fun with his crusades. Listen and enjoy.

Narration was terrible

Narrator read the book so fast, swallowing words and sometimes gasping for breath, I couldn't tell when one character was speaking and the other started speaking.

Good story terrible reader

Luckily this is the only book read by this person who not only has no idea how to read a story but can’t pronounce many words. Unfortunately this is the first of a series and introduces many future characters so needs to be heard

Narrator is unpleasant to hear.

Details off the story are overwhelmed by the performance. The pronunciation, pacing and tone are all horrid.

droning

Needs a more dramatic reading. The reading was droning and lacked emotion. A good story, but it was read like a newsletter.
