The Forsaken Volume 1

A TOP TEN BESTSELLER

By: Matt Rogers

Narrated by: Tony Alvarez

For ten years, Logan Booth served as a contract killer for the CIA – he just never knew it. The first book in a blockbuster thriller series from Matt Rogers, million-copy bestseller and 'a bright new talent shaking up the genre ' (Candice Fox).

In the twilight of his career, Logan learns he has been a vessel for furthering government interests, not a rogue hitman for a band of vigilantes. The revelation destroys him.

But when Jorge Romero – an investigative reporter and Logan's oldest friend – is brutally and inexplicably murdered, Logan allows his fury to deliver him from despair.

With an ally in Alice Mason, a homeless witness with a target on her back, Logan goes to war. Against whom, he isn't sure, but he knows powerful forces are at work behind the scenes.

Now, to deliver justice, Logan and Alice must confront their demons and win a savage battle that could destroy their lives ... even if they survive.

'Logan Booth is a character who is impossible to look away from and difficult to forget.' Kyle Mills

Amazing

Another outstanding book by Matt. Another character that makes me want to be better. Keep them coming

Superb action thriller from one of my favorite young up and coming authors!

An excellent story, full of twists and turns, dark yet relatable characters, and a fascinating view into the uncomfortable reality of substance abuse. The narration is great and the writing by Matt Roger’s kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time!

Matt Who?

I’ve read all Rogers’ books. This isn’t even good enough to finish. Weird story, no continuity. Unable to get into this story. Just terrible story and unable to remain invested. Poorest engagement of better characters.
