Publisher's Summary

In order to save the country he loves, Dylan Kane must first betray it.

Three top secret research scientists are presumed dead in a boating accident, but the kidnapping of their families the same day raises questions the FBI and local police can't answer, leaving them waiting for a ransom demand that will never come.

Central Intelligence Agency analyst Chris Leroux stumbles upon the story, and finds a phone conversation that was never supposed to happen. When he reports it to his boss, the national clandestine services chief, he is uncharacteristically reprimanded for conducting an unauthorized investigation and told to leave it to the FBI.

But he can't let it go.

For he knows something the FBI doesn't.

One of the scientists is alive.

Leroux makes a call to his childhood friend, CIA Special Agent Dylan Kane, leading to a race across the globe to stop a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of political and corporate America, that if not stopped, could lead to war with an enemy armed with a weapon far worse than anything in the American arsenal, with the potential to not only destroy the world, but consume it.

Could not finish - Everyone is a stereotype

The CIA field agent is a stud, the CIA analyst is is a geek, the 'scientists' are weaklings only focused on their work and the women are clueless and looking for a man to cling to when things go bad. I made it half way through the book when it was revealed why the 'scientists' disappeared, which then caused me to stop reading. It was absolutely ridiculous story-telling and I immediately felt as if I wasted 4 hours listening to something I knew I should have put down earlier.

Intreaging

The story line was fluid. Kept you in suspense while trying to anticipate his next move. Well narrated.
I strongly recommend this book.

Very good!

Spy thrillers aren't normally my thing but I was desperate for something to listen to! I enjoyed it thoroughly. Not sure how realistic it is but still very good. The narrator was excellent.

Total entertainment

I have a audible library of 600+titles and finished 98% of them. By chance this is the first book I have read by this author and I rate it in the top 5 ever for overall entertainment and the presentation was excellent. i rarely rate books because I am hearing impaired and my view of a book is often skewed by tone and clarity of the presenter but this book, author and presenter has everything

Good Action

The many character is a bit of a cliche at the start but develops a little more gravity by the end. The plot is interesting and the action is good.
