The Hunted

The Jed Walker Series Book 2

By: James Phelan

Narrated by: Adrian Mulraney

In 2011, Seal Team Six killed Osama Bin Laden. Now, four years later, someone is eliminating Team Six - one by one they are turning up dead.

Jed Walker, ex-CIA, is an outsider back in the game. He's been chasing down a sinister group code-named Zodiac that the big guns - MI5, CIA, the Pentagon - have failed to eradicate. But as Walker follows the trail of bodies, uncovering secrets and making connections he's not supposed to make, he finds the answers are closer to home than he ever imagined.

Revenge is the obvious motive, but nothing is ever that simple in love or in war.

Can Walker find who's responsible before the body count grows higher?
Can he stop another terror attack before more innocent bystanders suffer?

When the line between the good and the bad become blurred, when the hunters become the hunted, only one man can save us all.

THE HUNTED is the second Jed Walker novel - a white-knuckled rollercoaster of action suspense.

Great Unpredictable Adventure

Book 2 of Jed Walker Series had me re-listening to parts because I couldn't believe what I just heard. Twists and turns of who done it.

I like the narrator

It had been awhile since I listened to him. Some said they did not like the language he uses, boot instead of trunk, etc. I did not mind it. Overall I enjoy the storyline and the distraction from real life.

Likable Characters with Lots of Action

The plot is pretty good and there are a few twists I didn't see coming. The characters are well developed and likable. What prevented this from getting 5 stars were a few whiplash moments when our protagonist Jed Walker after playing so many things so smart, makes a really dumb mistake or after a long and complicated pursuit the ending seems odd - it doesn't fit well. It is a good story and over all I enjoyed listening to it, but the book is missing a smoothness that some authors have achieved that would earn it 5 stars.

best yet

Author is getting better and better in detail and plot. A Mulraney does a fantastic job of narration.

Jed has become the man!

Jed was a greenie in Book 1, and only saved by 3 contacts who happened to be around. Now it is 10 years later, he has graduated even from the CIA, so his skills are now top notch and he needs nobody's help. This story is exciting and well done.

I understand that the audio for this book is done in Australia, but it is still weird to have an Aussie narrate a so very American tale. He pronounces Ft. Detrick with a short e, as in debt, but I always heard the Army folk call it Deetrick. They could be wrong.

There are more than 4 editing errors, where the narrator mispronounced some word and it was re-recorded, but we get to hear both the correct and the wrong, so Audible Australia needs to up its professionalism.

Despite this accent disconnect, Jed has matured and honed his skills to the point where we will continue to follow his exploits!
