Tucked away in a remote corner of North Carolina's Fort Bragg, behind rows of razor wire and heavily armed guards, lies the headquarters of the nation's most elite counter-terrorism unit: the United States Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta. Here, a brilliant new approach to combating terrorism has just been born. Its codename: The Athena Project.

Not a Harvath story
It’s a story about the Athena team intro’d in the last book. Scott pops in here and there and is mentioned maybe 5 times but that it. You’ve been warned.
Overall performance is exactly what you’d expect. A female narrator which makes sense due to the fact that all the main charters are female. And the narration is well done.
The story is just meh. You have the Athena team which are written with very little depth and only talk in one liner jokes that mostly is locker room talk. Which is fine just seems a little forced at times. The story also isn’t paced very well.
Overall I’m glad I bought it and listened to it but I won’t go back a second time and you’re not missing much by saving the money and skipping this one.

Just Not Good
I'm a big Thor fan but I wish I would have listened to the other reviewers and passed on this book. This one lacks the realism of his other books. Character development is lacking, there is zero suspense, his females operatives don't come across as professionals with all the discussion of who's dating who, fashion choices, etc. It's just....not good, and not a representation of Thor's usual ability.

At 3.9 stars this novel is seriously underrated!
Brad Thor took a brief time away from his Scot Harvath series to write about the fictional Project Athena which is a top secret effort to take several of America's top level female athletes and train them to become a fighting force in the war on terror. This novel takes the group from recruitment through training and their suspense filled first mission. The Athena Project is an outstanding novel. Several of the women from the Athena Project play significant roles in novels in the Scot Harvath series.This is book 9.5 in the Harvath series.
As a fan of Brad Thor from his first novel forward I object to 2 of his older Harvath series audio novels (Blowback and Takedown) being re-recorded and re-released earlier this year. The old versions released a decade ago were perfectly fine. Lee Child has used the same tactic with several of his Jack Reacher novels. I object!!

Nice spin-off, good listen
OK, I'm a Mitch Rapp, Scott Harvath, Alex Hawk, Jack Ryan, James bond fan. Yes, this book does not compare to those, but I believe the Project has promise. These ladies were introduced in "Foreign Influence" by Thor, so you should read that if you want more info on the new characters. I enjoyed the new addition to Harvath's circle of friends. I will definitely give this group of ladies another chance when Thor releases the next volume.

Only okay
This was an okay listen, although it seemed pretty formulaic. The "all ladies team" was an interesting idea, but the author's understanding of how women interact with each other is very, very limited. The story was fine and the narration was fine. One thing: although this is unabridged, it sounds abridged to me. It has odd little jumps and if it truly is unabridged, then it has some editing issues.

Horrible narrator; too much focus on sex
First, let it be said that Brad Thor is a first rate writer. I have loved his books. However, the narrator for this book is HORRIBLE. She reads as though reading to children, uses way too much expression. Think the opposite of George Guidall. In addition, the story focuses on sex, sex, sex. I stopped listening after a couple of chapters. Not what I want in a spy novel. Going to turn this one back in.

Apparently women only think about sex...
Weak female characters who can't seem to focus on anything other than sex. These are supposed to be elite soldiers? How come they weren't written that way? Very disappointed

Another Charlie's Angels
What would have made The Athena Project better?
Take the fluff out. I was tired of reading how beautiful the four women are and how they strut their stuff. I thought it would have carried the same weight as a Scott Harvath novel.
Would you ever listen to anything by Brad Thor again?
Yes as long as it isn't about women.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Nothing it was the writing.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Athena Project?
Bantering is fine but the endless preoccupation with their clothes and beauty was more than redundant. Expand on the story and suspense.
Any additional comments?
Stick with the men.

The Athena Project
I have listened to over 400 audiobooks, most of them thrillers. This is a great start to a new series (hopefully). As with most, the narrater makes the book and Marvel is great. I look forward to book #2 of The Athena Project.

It's not terrible
Its alright, but I definitely agree with some other reviews that have suggested Brad stick with keeping his main character as male. (Scot Harvath)
