John Milton Series, Book 18

By: Mark Dawson

Narrated by: David Thorpe

John Milton has a violent past. He doesn't go looking for trouble, but trouble is always looking for him.

For years Milton has travelled the world as John Smith, making friends and enemies in equal measure. Now his ex-employer, the covert agency Group Fifteen, is on his tail. It's time to find a new identity.

In his quest to stay off-grid, Milton heads to a friend who owes him a favor in Bali. But a chance encounter with the beautiful and enigmatic Sakura Nishimoto brings him even more unwanted attention. He's barely off the plane before he's being pursued by the police. And worse, he's on the radar of the Japanese yakuza.

The gangsters mean business, and in their case business involves kidnap, blackmail, and murder.

Can Milton help Sakura without sacrificing himself? Or has he finally run out of places to hide?

John Milton never disappoints

I know I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. I’ve listened to these books multiple times, and I never get tired of them. Listening to all of Milton struggles makes one think about their own life. Keep up the good work.

John Milton does it again

Can’t wait for the next book in the series. John helping people in need all the time is great, maybe one of these days he will be able to have happiness for himself. With his John Smith name burnt how will his new identity change him and what he does?

Kept my Attention

I enjoyed this audiobook. To me the reader is great and he gives Milton a very likeable voice. The story kept me listing and never lagged. I'm going to listen to another one.

Probably my last John MIlton

This was another good John Milton story as I've listened or read to five in the series. The exposure to the Japanese culture is always interesting, but I'm tiring of the continuing side story about John's battle with drinking and his going to AA meetings. OK, I get it, but I don't need to hear about it in every book. It no longer adds anything to the story.

Never a miss.

The phenomenal Dawson has another real hit. 18 books and still counting. Buy it and read.
