No Way Out is the 3rd book in the Zed’s World series, and this book assumes you are familiar with the story because it doesn’t really start with a recap of the previous adventures or even really introduce the characters, it just throws you into the action. I’m okay with that. It had been a while since I listened to the previous books but I more or less remembered the story. The book features a pretty good cast and has plenty of fast paced action. There were a few issues however, as it’s hard to say who is the ‘main characters’ of this one because we jump between 3 or 4 groups of characters, with the characters we spent the first 2 hours with not being seen again until near the end. We also happen to witness a certain incident multiple times, each time from a different group’s point of view. I don’t have a major issue with that per se, but as I said it was hard to say who the main characters were meant to be, who you were supposed to be rooting for, but then I suppose in a way you were probably supposed to be rooting for almost all of them, except for a couple who were clearly ‘bad guys’. I don’t want to make it sound like this is a deal breaker or anything, all in all these are minor complaints and No Way Out tells a fun story of survival and is a nice addition to the series. I’m interested to see where Mr. Baker takes the story from here.
Like the previous books in the series, No Way Out is narrated by the talented Andrew B. Wehrlen and he does an excellent job bringing the story and characters to life.
