Assassin's Silence

A David Slaton Novel

By: Ward Larsen

Narrated by: P. J. Ochlan

Every so often, a great assassin novel comes along: Brad Meltzer's The Fifth Assassin, David Baldacci's The Hit, Daniel Silva's The Kill Artist. Now Ward Larsen brings us Assassin's Silence, featuring David Slaton, hero of Larsen's Assassin's Game and the award-winning The Perfect Assassin.

When it comes to disappearing, David Slaton has few equals. Police in three countries have written off trying to find him. His old employer, Mossad, keeps no forwarding address. Even his wife and son are convinced he is dead. So when an assault team strikes, Slaton is taken by surprise. He kills one man and manages to escape.

Half a world away, in the baleful heat of the Amazon, an obscure air cargo company purchases a derelict airliner. Teams of mechanics work feverishly to make the craft airworthy. On the first flight, the jet plunges toward the ocean.

The CIA assesses the two spectacles: a practiced killer leaving a trail of bodies across Europe and a large airplane disappearing without a trace. The two affairs are increasingly seen to be intertwined. Langley realizes the killer is a man long thought to be dead, and the lost airliner has been highly modified into a tool of unimaginable terror.

When their worst fears are realized, Langley must trust the one man who can save them: David Slaton, the perfect assassin.

Good Book, Good Listen

Where does Assassin's Silence rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I think it's up there with the best of them. I thought it started a little slow but half way through, it peaked my interest and kept it till the end. I would definitely try another of the author's books.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Assassin's Silence?

Kill shot from the plane

What about P. J. Ochlan’s performance did you like?

Really did. Did a great job.

An Excellent Thriller

In this time of quarantine and Coronavirus I have been going through Thriller Genre books rapidly as that is what I like. I am finding a lot of bad ones out there mostly written by ex-military types who have no idea how to write a book. So I am very happy to find this book and series by Ward Larsen. He has written a very complex story with many roots and brings it all together at the end in an interesting and unique manner. I now plan to read all of the David Slaton novels in this series. I listened to the audible book and think that P.J. Ochlan does a great narration especially with all the foreign accents. Well worth reading.

An old friend stops in for a visit!

Felt slow getting started, this is my first Assassin book,so I had some catching up to do, but I loved the Jammer series - spoiler alert, stop reading now........

I was so excited to hear Jammer Davis' name! I was really happy and glued to the story by this point but it got serious when he showed up. great story and now I'm hooked.

Extremely well written and narrated
