Description

The audiobook based on the film “The Professional” starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Robert Hossein, with an intrigue that never lets go to the end, and the touching notes of Ennio Morricone’s Che Mai—are inseparably connected to the inspiration drawn from Patrick Alexander’s single novel.

We don’t want to classify this audiobook as a spy novel or a political action thriller. This audiobook is about a world where Men meet the tenderness of Women, the jungles of politics, the practicality and cynicism of the establishment.

“An Armalite-15 assault rifle is the most lethal weapon in its class and is designed to effectively take down thin-skinned animals at a distance of up to six hundred meters—that is, people. Because of the high initial bullet velocity and its shape, at the moment of impact and penetration it begins to rotate along an unpredictable trajectory, consuming its kinetic energy in the shortest time possible, which causes an increase in hydrostatic pressure in the body containing liquid. The result of such penetration into the body is the formation of deep cavities, pockets, and tissue tearing, leading to an instantaneous and extensive shock.”
