Scorpion Strike

By: John Gilstrap

Narrated by: Corey M. Snow

For Jonathan Grave and Gail Bonneville, the Crystal Sands Resort is the perfect getaway - until gunshots shatter the night. Wealthy guests are yanked out of their sleep, herded like animals, forced to submit to their captors' demands. But Jonathan and Gail are no ordinary vacationers. The assassins who invade their bungalow receive a deadly surprise. And two determined, skilled operatives escape into the jungle. Jonathan and Gail are not the only free agents on the island.

Cut off from his usual tactical team, with a pair of unlikely allies he can't fully trust, Grave's only hope of reliable back-up is his partner Boxers, who's hundreds of miles - and hours - away. It won't be long before the invaders turn this tropical paradise into the powderkeg that will set off global chaos. Grave may be without weapons, but he's never without resources. Bold action is the only solution. Like the scorpion, Grave must strike fast and hard....

Corey snow is good, but ....

not after characters that basil sands has created. boxer sounded to afemanate to be anything of the hulking menace, we expected.

OK book with some strange things

This book was different but still good. There seemed to be a lot of talk when they didn't have the time.

I'm surprised that Tyler was going back to the resort. Why didn't Jonathan talk with him about what could happen if he's caught!?

Tyler had already given the bad guys his wallet and phone. Why would he think he would get away with using a different name! 3.5*

Narrator change

Messed up when you listen to a series and get used to how a character’s voice is then the narrator is changed.

Basil Sands is missing

I have listened to all of this series & enjoyed each one. The first time I ordered this one I just couldn’t listen to the new narrator so I returned it. I finally reordered because I enjoy the series so much.
I did enjoy the story as many of the previous characters returned to work together, making their “adventures “ interesting. But I know I missed a lot of it because I struggled with the “NOT Basil” narrator. He doesn’t distinguish characters well-male/female, Russian accent isn’t consistent, oddly theatrical.
The worst- not having the “real” Boxers voice , or Venice’s voice & their attitudes. Very little difference between any of them. Sad.

New Narrator a Mistake

No offense to the new narrator, don't know why there was a change but the books really lose something without Big Guy's voice.
