This book is the 6th installment in the Dan Stone / Assassin Series, and it is by far the darkest and deepest of the series. Scorpion gains speed quickly and doesn’t let up till the very end! This book also ties up many unresolved questions in the series, while leaving the door open for more. Scorpion revisits characters and themes (sometimes only in memory) from previous books, making the world of its hero far more three dimensional and real. Scorpion stands on its own, providing enough context to the series that a new listener could start from here without feeling lost.

Narrator Jonathan Beville makes every character lifelike and unique, delivering this book with intensity and feeling. Listening to this book is the next best thing to being there.
