Summary

Has Ben Hope finally met his match?

The master best seller returns with the explosive follow-up to Star of Africa. The second in a two-part series.

Held hostage by a despicable tyrant in the heart of Africa - within the lawless and unforgiving Congo - it's not looking good for Ben Hope. Even worse, someone very important to him has fallen into the enemy's hands, and they're using this against Ben as part of a depraved plan to bend him to their will.

"Slick, serpentine and very, very entertaining.... If you've got a pulse, you'll love Scott Mariani; if you haven't, then maybe you crossed Ben Hope." (Simon Toyne)
"Scott Mariani is an awesome writer." (Chris Kuzneski)
"Deadly conspiracies, bone-crunching action and a tormented hero with a heart.... Scott Mariani packs a real punch." (Andy McDermott)
"A romp of a read, each page like a tasty treat. Enjoy." (Steve Berry)

Outstanding

Yet again,another brilliant delve into the fictional masterpiece, that is the collection of Ben Hope stories. Action adventure stories that are a must for anyone that enjoys the genre.
I wait with anticipation for the next instalment.
The narration of all of the books has been superb.

Great one.

Thank god this book is now out, having to wait for months just to find out was going to happen was killing me. But now i am so glad, this was such a good listen and worth the wait. It was action the whole way through. Lets hope there are going to be many more ben hope books in the future. If you like a good action adventure then give this a try.

Edge of my seat for part 2...

This is the second part of the story started in The Star of Africa; this is a brilliant conclusion with Scott Mariani very much on form. Edge of the seat stuff while Ben is continually thwarted by the despotic General. I was constantly grinding my teeth each time Ben had a chance to escape. Jude nearly earned a star for escaping & saving a fellow prisoner - but even at the end after everything he guilts Ben into not killing the General - so nil points to the still annoying Jude. Well done to Scott for making each character have their personality & top marks to Colin Mace whom narrated so well.
(I enjoyed the first part of the story in The Star of Africa, but I did struggle with the characters & the fact that part of the book felt as if someone else had penned it. Was overjoyed this second part felt completely penned by the author. Only my opinion though)

gruesome

gruesome story, pretty horrific but a good story all the same but definitely not for the weakhearted, this is part two so make sure you listen to the previous book.
