Summary
Gavin is creating a unique 'holiday experience’ - every facility any tourist who hates going abroad will ever want will all be available on a converted North Sea oil rig.
To test the facilities, he's hosting a reunion for his old school friends. He is so busy showing off that he doesn't notice that another group have invited themselves along - a collection of terrorist mercenaries who are occasionally of more danger to themselves than to the public.

Performance lacking skill
It seems unlikely that the production company couldn’t have found a voice actor capable of reproducing at least a half-believable northeastern English accent.

story funny but accents questionable
I love Christopher Brookmyre novels and Angus King usually does a good job verbally retelling his stories but this one had me laughing at his pish poor attempt at a Geordie accent. Alright if you can see the funny side and look past this faux paus 😄

Superb!
Proper laugh out loud moments and belly laughs included.... if Die Hard happened in Scotland! 🤣🤣🤣 although I think Chris missed a trick... 'oh My God they killed Kenny' would definitely fit in this book!.... I'm a bit sad that my next in line is narrated by an American and the accents are .... well let's just say I think I'm going to actually read rather than listen to it! I do hope it gets re done with Angus King reading soon! I could listen to Angus all day long (and quite often do!) Fantastic book and well worth the credit!

Don't Worry About the Accents
Angus King has come in for a lot of stick regarding his attempts to do a 'Geordie' accent - ok so at times he sounds as if he is from Pakistan and at others God knows where but in no way did it ruin this comedy action thriller as far as I am concerned. Part of me wonders if Mr Brookmyre did it on purpose with Audible in mind. This was great fun, a sort of 'Die Hard' meets 'Breakfast Club' affair - prepare to suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the ride.

Slow start but stick with it!
This should be a film! Gripping story with the only disappointment being that it ends so abruptly.

Good story despite so many characters
I almost abandoned at first due to the heavy Scottish accent (English is not my mother tongue) but then I put the speed at 0,85 and I could follow. I also had to look at the list of characters on the Wikipedia page of the book to remember who is who. But once in the story I enjoyed the ride. I'm glad I went through with it.

"Pirates, boats and booty."
Simply brilliant.
It took a little while to initially acclimatise. to Angus King's brisk Scottish accent, but his performance was excellent, painting a vivid picture with Brookmyre's scintillating text, with each protagonist - and there are many - a fully formed character in his or her own right.
I always enjoy Brookmyre's books and this is one of his best. Five stars to author and narrator. Highly recommended
