Summary
Seventeen is a hitman, the best in the world, so-called because there were 16 before him, stretching back through the decades. Every government organisation in the world wants his services and every other high-level hitman has placed a target on his back. Because to be the best, you have to beat the best.
When Seventeen is ordered to find and kill his predecessor, the hit goes wrong and hunter turns to hunted. An ultraviolent duel develops between two assassins at the height of their powers, but when they fight themselves to a standstill, the real target of the hit emerges and they must join forces to defeat their joint enemy—and in the process prevent an unjustified war that could kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.
Seventeen is the first in a series that is action-packed, smart and driven by a fresh, sharp voice that will stick with you long after listening.

Wait for the film to be disappointed
I came to this book based on its recognition by the Crime Writers Association with its Ian Fleming award this year. The plot is a familiar riff on the story of the rogue assassin. An abused childhood, leads to vengeance and then an apprenticeship and career in assassination directed by an unscrupulous handler doing wet work for the governments of the world. You get a lot of detail about guns and invaisive technology that can do anything except get the baddies to shoot straight. This book was recognised by the CWA as a thriller but with no sense of jeopardy there are few thrills to be had. With an eye on a movie deal there are some well written shoot outs but the lead characters may as well wear capes and pants outside their jeans. With sequels ready to go severed femoral arteries have all the consequence of a fleshwound. I don't blame Mr Brownlow for knocking this novel out but I can only conclude that the families of the CWA panel were being held hostage in the cellar to arrive at their decision to recognise this book. . Don't listen to this book. Wait for the inevitable crash,bang, wallop film populated by vacuous characters, to come.

Loved this , listened twice to make I hadn’t missed any
Really gripping, with just right level of detail, the narrator easy to follow, highly recommended.

Definitely worth a read
This reminds me a bit of Orphan X books and though not up to that standard is well worth a read.

Dreadful narration…like listening to a machine gun
Unoriginal and well used formula - wish I could return it but my credits have run out this month!
