About this listen
A thrilling story of the secret services, their enemies and the society they operate in, building with unrelenting suspense to a superb climax, The Crocodile Hunter is Gerald Seymour writing at the top of his powers.
In the office at MI5 where he works, they call Jonas Merrick 'the eternal flame'. It isn't a compliment. It's because he never goes out. He never goes undercover, never does surveillance, never goes with the teams that kick down the doors or seize the suspects off the street. He commutes into work and sits at his desk and then he goes home. But Jonas has qualities the hot-shots fail to notice: a steely concentration, a ruthless ability to focus and find the enemy hiding in plain sight.
Hearing of a British Jihadi returning from Syria with murderous plans, Jonas sends out for a telling photograph: a crocodile, almost submerged, just its eyes above water as it waits for unsuspecting prey to drink at the riverbank. Coming ashore near Dover, Cameron Jilkes is a young man from a broken home and a failed education, trained in the harshest theatre of war, driven to rage by loss and pain. And this time, 'the eternal flame' must go out - to hunt the crocodile himself.

The production of the audio book was poor. It was difficult to distinguish breaks between scenes in the storyline
The lack of proper chaptering let the production down. The story did waffle on too much.

Main Character reminded me of George Smiley
Loved this - great characterisation and the flashbacks which delved into who,why,where provided background whereas Smiley pursues moles Jonas equally brilliantly pursues terrorists aka crocodiles - Brilliant

Great narration and as always brilliant Gerald Seymour. I’m only sorry The Crocodile Hunter had to end.

Great read with one caveat
My first dip into Seymour and it has whetted my appetite for more. Some authentic dips into the world of counter-espionage and counter-terrorism (believe me!) but despite a hugely enjoyable read I found little evidence on which to arrest the T. The links with the smuggled weapon are tenuous and almost implied. When the target is not known either, reality needs to be suspended. However, a well-written, compelling novel and an excellent narrator.

Good
I think this is a good story, it slowly builds up the characters until the finale, I prefer bit more action and quicker pace but was good.

slow simple story
This book has a fairly simple story with no twists, a monotone narration added to the dull drawn out story which drowned itself in everyday detail

Nicely written and narrated
Well paced with a good degree of background detail. Similar in ways to Le Carré.

Great story telling
Enjoyed this unusual story very much although the style of writing is very downbeat and can be a little wearing
