Historia
The fiction world of today needs a “Saint” more than it ever did. For years now that scene has been dominated by the “anti-heroes"—those grim gray operators in a sunless sub-culture where global issues are worked out with totally unemotional pragmatism, those hapless uninspired puppets manipulated and expended by ruthlessly dedicated little brothers of Big Brother. It made morbidly fascinating narrative, but it never gave anyone a lift until it climaxed in the hyper-gadgeted parodies of 007 extravaganzas.

Historia
Leslie Charteris’ square-jawed, blue-eyed hero loved, fought and stole his way through Europe from the 1930s to the 1970s, endlessly pursuing blondes, baddies and boodle. Adored by women and feared by his foes, he was renowned for both his heroic exploits and his nefarious reputation - and he always left his trademark calling card at the scenes of his crimes: a sketch of a stick figure with a halo.

Resumen del Editor
The Saint is back - 50 audiobooks are now available starring the debonair classic crime hero.
Simon Templar is the Saint - daring, dazzling, and just a little disreputable. On the side of the law, but standing outside it, he dispenses his own brand of justice one criminal at a time.
After a fruitless chase across Europe on the tail of his enemy Rayt Marius, the Saint returns to London with a price on his head. But adventure is never far from Simon Templar's door, and soon he finds himself rescuing Sonia Delmar, a munitions heiress, from Marius's clutches. Sonia allies with the Saint - in a bid to prevent Marius and his ally Prince Rudolf bringing war and destruction to Europe.
Leslie Charteris was born in Singapore and moved to England in 1919. He left Cambridge University early when his first novel was accepted for publication. He wrote novels about the Saint throughout his life, becoming one of the 20th century's most prolific and popular authors.

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Better than 007...!!!
Fabulous fun... impeccable wordsmanship and nothing less than Stellar narration. Eye-rolling Mayhem at every possible instance. Simon Templar can do it all. This is 1930 and the high-brow British wit and flourishes of language are absolutely enchanting. the plot narrative storyline and visuals are totally engaging. short and sweet here you will have a great time listening to this novel and I am so looking forward to all of the rest 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Love the story, miss previous narrator
This is my second favorite Saint story. It has everything you love about the Saint adventures: adventure, rescues, high stakes, and fantastic hyperbole descriptions. The narrator is okay but difficult to listen to if you first heard the Frederick Davison version, especially when "singing" <cringe>. That given this is one great story.

Flowery and dated.
The writing style is very much a thing of the past, with loads of hyperbole and gushing over how brave and wonderful the Saint is. If you can get past this,it's got some fun stuff.

Battle, Murder, Sudden Death and Good Beer
At the beginning of chapter 9, The Saint explains himself to the heroine he has just rescued.
‘…I was sick of this age. Tired of the miserable little mildewed things that people racked their brains about and wrote books about and called “life”. I’m not interested to read about maundering epileptics and silly nymphomaniacs and anemic artists with a message. And I’m not interested to meet them. If I notice them at all they make me want to vomit.’
He’s revolting against the zeitgeist of 1930, but it will be familiar to anyone who’s dipped their toe in today’s intellectual climate. Many are the post-modern, post-post grad students, “crawling about on a dunghill yapping about [their] putrid little repressions”. And when our hero turns to the literature of his time, it’s clear his creator felt the same imperious irritations:
‘The lowdown shocker is a decent and clean and honest-to-God form of literature because it does deal with things that have a right to occupy a man’s mind. A primitive chivalry and damsel-in-distress and virtue triumphant and a wholesale slaughter of villains at the end…It may not be true to life, but it ought to be true. And that’s why it’s the best stuff for people to read…’
There’s much refreshing stuff here. And yet. For one thing, the Saint will ramble—I’m editing his monologue drastically. His repartee, while funny, can get labored; by the time he's finished you forget the question or situation that inspired it.
Then again, the Saint is just too perfect. Sapper’s Hugh (“Bulldog”) Drummond has the same knack for jesting in the face of overwhelming odds, but he’s quicker off the mark. And, like Fleming’s Bond, he has self-doubts. Not so the Saint. He’s physically stunning, immaculately dressed, impeccably suave; his smile as devastating as his fists. One imagines a mannequin doing jujitsu.
John Telfer’s performance could hardly be improved upon. But while I’m all for ‘battle, murder, and sudden death, with plenty of good beer and a complete callousness about blipping the ungodly over the beezer’ I like my protagonists--even those who inhabit lowdown shockers--a shade more three-dimensional.
