Recruited Volume 1

By: Matt Rogers

Narrated by: Dorje Swallow

A glimpse into the brutal past of Will Slater, told at breakneck speed in this page-turning novella from Matt Rogers, million copy bestseller and ‘the most successful writer you’ve never heard of’ (The Story).

Chicago, 2003.

For twenty-year-old Will Slater, each day is a matter of survival on the crime-ridden streets of Englewood. Possessed by a rigid moral code, he allies with the city’s ruthless gangs only when absolutely necessary, and doesn’t hesitate to turn on crews he finds reprehensible. Orphaned at fourteen by a harrowing chain of events, he’s walked this tightrope for years without a safety net.

Then it all changes.

When a gang approaches Will with a job, memories are triggered that he’d rather forget. But once he accepts, he’s plunged into a web of deceit. No one is who they seem, and violent events set him on the path to becoming the Slater we all know – one of the most lethal covert operatives the world has ever seen.

Disappointed and eanting more!

I was excited for the stories of Will Slater recruitment and missions. A book about Will Slater journey to become the lethal operator. But the lack of focus, details, and overall vibe of the book left me wanting to scream at Matt Rogers. I felt shorted by this book. It’s like Matt Rogers wanted to throw Slaters name out and cut the story short. I hope more books released with better details. Love the Jason king series but book 2 is more on King than Slater. But the narrator could’ve been better.
