White Gold

Dan Taylor, Book 1

By: Rachel Amphlett

Narrated by: Craig Beck

A haunted man. A murdered friend. A deadly enemy.

Dan Taylor’s career as a bomb disposal expert in the British Army ended when an IED killed three of his team and left him scarred for life. Years later, and on the brink of self-destruction, Dan struggles to cope with the nightmares that haunt him.

Until the day an estranged friend leaves a voicemail message, moments before he is assassinated in cold blood.

Plunged into a global conspiracy, Dan must unravel the research notes Peter Edgewater left behind and locate an explosive device being smuggled towards London by a secretive organization hell-bent on protecting its assets–and time is running out.

White Gold is the first book in an action-packed adventure thriller series that fans of Vince Flynn, Robert Ludlum, and the Lee Child Jack Reacher series are calling "a blast!”

Gave up half way through on this one. I’ve read a lot of Rachel’s books and have enjoyed them, but this one just didn’t work for me.

I’m generally happy to stretch my credibility a bit for the sake of fiction to work but some of the scenarios presented in this book were an ask too far. There were also a lot of characters introduced early on with no real fleshing out, which made it difficult to get a handle on who was who.

I won’t continue with this series.
