About this listen

 An extraordinary cutting-edge suspense novel from the "king of the pack" (The Washington Times), #1 New York Times bestselling author Frederick Forsyth.

In northern Virginia, a secret agency named TOSA (Technical Operations Support Activity) has one mission: to track, find, and kill those so dangerous to the United States that they are on a short, very close-held document known as the Kill List.

Now a new name has been added: a terrorist of frightening effectiveness called the Preacher, who radicalizes young Muslims living abroad to carry out assassinations. Unfortunately for him, one of his targets is a retired Marine general, whose son is TOSA’s top tracker of men.

The Preacher has made it personal—and now the hunt is on…. Espionage Genre Fiction Military Spies & Politics Suspense Thriller & Suspense Middle East Royalty Fiction Iran Africa War

I got this audiobook after listening to Forsyth's earlier novel "The Fourth Protocol," which I really enjoyed. It's hard to believe that this was by the same author. Lots of fascinating detail about the technology and procedures of intelligence and military operatives, but delivered in vignettes that seemed more like really keen high school presentations than a sustained narrative arc. The word "basically" recurs with irritating frequency. The reader does what he can with the material. His voice is pleasant. His attempts at accents are a bit underwhelming.

Heavy on research, light on storytelling
