À propos de cet audio

In this much-anticipated new spy thriller series by Jack Mars, listeners are taken on an action thriller across Europe as presumed-CIA operative Kent Steele, hunted by terrorists, by the CIA, and by his own identity, must solve the mystery of who is after him, of the terrorists’ pending target - and of the beautiful woman he keeps seeing in his mind.

Kent Steele, 38, a brilliant professor of European History at Columbia University, lives a quiet life in a New York suburb with his two teenage daughters. All that changes when late one night he gets a knock on his door and is abducted by three terrorists - and finds himself flown across the ocean to be interrogated in a basement in Paris.

They are convinced that Kent is the most lethal spy the CIA has ever known.

He is convinced they have the wrong man.

Do they?

With a conspiracy around him, adversaries as smart as he is, and an assassin on his tail, the wild game of cat and mouse leads Kent on a perilous road - one that may lead back to Langley - and to a shocking discovery of his own identity.

Agent Zero is an espionage thriller that will keep you listening late into the night.

This novel grips your attention and doesn’t slow down until the very end. The narration was right on point and enjoyable to listen to. I look forward to future novels by this author.

A surprise around every corner, it was well thought out, and fast paced. Loved the academic component, shown through the professor. And the love for his family and friends.

If you loved the Bourne identity, you will love this book.

Storyline was quite good but I was put off by Ballerini’s narration. Many characters who should have sounded tougher in tough situations didn’t, including Zero. Ballerina often sounded like an excited child when reading serious action scenes and sounded rushed during serious, threatening situations. I know he was trying to make the passages sound exciting but if they had been read but some else whose voice had a deeper tone to it, it would have been more effective. I found myself slogging thru in order to get to the ending.

Absolutely loved this book. The story left a little piece of itself unfinished to get you into the next one. The book is fairly short, and the sell price id disgusting. What idiot set that price? Nice Doily Deal, even worth a credit most days, but not a $43.00 (CDN) book by any stretch of any imagination. We have retailers who tout the 60%, 70% 80% discounts every week offering items for their actual or well priced value. I sometimes buy these sale items, web pricing and comparison shopping them to death first. Other that that I don't even bother going near these stores that insult the community and shows their distaste for us consumers.As much as I liked it I had to drop the series as the books got shorter and more dependent on the next in series. Maybe if the list price starts looking competitive I will re-think my disappointment in this Audible Exclusive.Start dropped for Marketers, stars up for a great read/listen.

Great Start to a Promising Series

Reid Lawson/Kent Steele is quite obviously a Jason Bourne clone. Jack Mars puts together a cheerworthy (if laughably implausible) hero - a man who "wakes up" realizing he is not what he thought he was. In this case, a History Teacher who is secretly a CIA SuperSpy trained in espionage, explosives, weapons, deadly hand-to-hand combat, and torture-torture-torture (it gets pretty sadistic). He had some kind of Memory-Suppression device implanted in his skull and once it's removed (by terrorist kidnappers, no less), he tries to keep watch over his dumbfounded teenaged daughters back in the States, while shifting almost flawlessly back into his Secret Agent persona while hunting terrorists in Europe.
The plot holes are *huge*
While it's hard to put reservations aside with this novel, Mars at least makes it easier by putting together a breakneck-paced rollercoaster-ride plot involving international conspiracists, terrorists, and foes in the American IC. The narrative is a little clichéd, there is some repetition ("The Middle-Eastern man would bleed out in 7.4 seconds - Reid had no idea how he knew that.." gets old after the eighth or ninth time you hear it), the violence is occasionally nauseating, and the action is often overscripted, but the overall writing is competent, the descriptions are gritty, the dialogue is true-to-life, and the characters are interesting. Overall, it's stupid..

..but adrenaline-fuelled fun.

Eduardo Ballerini is very good in this production. His diction is clear, his tone is emotive, and his voice-acting is imperfect but commendable. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators.

I bought this entertaining audiobook as a Daily Deal, and the book is about worth the $5.90 CDN I paid for it. While requiring significant suspension of disbelief and being unquestionably silly, 'Agent Zero' is a reasonably good example of an Action-Thriller - inferior to Ludlum, Flynn, or even Hurwitz but on a par with Greaney and quite a bit better than Child's work. This admittedly unoriginal story rates 5.5 stars out of 10. You shouldn't spend a Credit on it, but if you can get it on sale..

A Bourne Rip-Off.. But A "Decent" One

Took a chance on this book because it was on sale. Turned out to be quite good. A typical storyline but well put together, and action packed.

Fast paced and engaging
