À propos de cet audio

To all appearances, Dan Chase is a harmless retiree in Vermont with two big mutts and a grown daughter he keeps in touch with by phone. But most 60-year-old widowers don't have multiple driver's licenses, savings stockpiled in banks across the country, and a bugout kit with two Beretta Nanos stashed in the spare bedroom closet. Most have not spent decades on the run.

Thirty-five years ago, as a young hotshot in army intelligence, Chase was sent to Libya to covertly assist a rebel army. When the plan turned sour, Chase reacted according to his own ideas of right and wrong, triggering consequences he could never have anticipated. And someone still wants him dead because of them. Just as he had begun to think himself finally safe, Chase must reawaken his survival instincts to contend with the history he has spent his adult life trying to escape. Armed mercenaries, spectacularly crashed cars, a precarious love interest, and an unforgettable chase scene through the snow - this is lethal plotting from one of the best in crime fiction.

I started listening to this novel when the series started on HBO. I was captured by the storyline . Although there are differences both the book and series keep you guessing as there many twists and turns. Definitely will listen to other novels by this author . The narrator was good but I really love the actor Jeff Bridges who is in the tv series and frankly could hear his voice as I listened to this novel. I urge others to read both the novel and to watch the series as both are equally good - don’t compare. Differences are for reasons and the series benefited from this novel.

Great novel

This book was a lot of fun to read. I appreciate that it wasn’t completely predictable.

Sadly not as well written as the adapted TV show. Performance was inconsistent. Many words were mispronounced. Only redeeming factor was the focus on spy craft. Although even that was excessive.

Disappointing and Underwhelming
