À propos de cet audio

 A thrilling firsthand account by husband-and-wife CIA operatives who, against all odds, triumphed in a deadly cat-and-mouse game against a mole within the agency—an unprecedented insider account of 21st-century spycraft in the tradition of Argo and Black Ops.

Andrew and Jihi Bustamante were a “tandem couple”: married spies who’d dedicated their lives to the CIA. They met as trainees at Langley, and got married while hunting terrorists across the globe. Then, suddenly, they were assigned to a mission so sensitive and explosive that the CIA still has never acknowledged it. The CIA’s source network in a country code-named "Falcon"—one of America’s most formidable rivals—had been compromised by a mole, and the agency needed a new way to collect intelligence there. Young newlyweds, the Bustamantes were considered safe choices for this daunting task precisely because they had no experience in Falcon. They were also loyal, forgettable, and completely disposable—operatives who could help to strengthen the CIA’s position in Falcon while simultaneously serving as bait for the mole.

But although their superiors at the CIA didn’t realize it, the Bustamantes also brought another advantage to the table: a granular understanding of how terrorist cells operate, and how the agency could exploit those same tactics to keep America safe. Assembling a rag-tag team of fellow operatives and recruiting new sources from Falcon, the Bustamantes pioneered a new way of spying by building a cell of their own—right at the heart of the CIA.

The propulsive, untold tale of one of history’s greatest intelligence crises and the unlikely band of agents who were sent in to clean up the mess, Shadow Cell allows us to peer behind the curtain to see how today’s spy wars are being fought—and won.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Shadow Cell rips the curtain off the modern spy game with the kind of insider access only two former CIA operatives could provide. It’s a rare glimpse into the shadow war of the 21st century, where loyalty is tested, trust is weaponized, and victory comes at a personal cost."—Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Sky Mourning
“The ‘Shadow Cell’ operation is arguably one of the most esoteric, innovative and successful by CIA to date. It is also proof of how important fresh blood is to any organization. As you will read, the selection of these two young officers was a gamble that not only paid off but also exceeded everyone's expectations. Reads like a novel, educates like a thesis. I truly enjoyed the read and even learned a trick or two."—Ric Prado, New York Times bestselling author of Black Ops, and former Chief of Operations at CIA's Counterterrorism Center

Shadow Cell is built on real events, with only names and locations changed for security reasons. It reads like a true insider’s account presented in story form, combining the pace of a novel with the authenticity of lived CIA experience. The story begins with Andy and Jihi’s journey into the Agency and gradually pulls the listener into the world of international espionage, complete with allied nations given code names and the looming suspicion of a mole.

What makes this book stand out is its authenticity. The details are not just decoration, they are the lessons and nuances only a real operator can provide. Shadow Cell is not a book of constant explosions or movie clichés. Instead, it is a must read for anyone who wants to understand how spycraft really works, told in a way that teaches while it entertains.

Authentic and cinematic spy storytelling

Great storytelling, and a cool insight into the world of espionage. Also cool to learn about their life stories, what brought them to CIA and being a couple in it together

Awesome book

Great story - but…

I appreciate them trying here I really do. I tried my best to get through it but I just couldn't. They might be spies but they definitely aren't authors. It's pretty dry, and sometimes reads like a fever dream. I think you should listen to this to get a lense into an authentic experience into spying. Some parts truly were insightful I must admit, but like I said I couldn't get into it.

It sounds authentic in some areas
