London. December 1981. The IRA is on the attack, a cold war is being waged, another war is just over the horizon, and Stephen Donaldson spends his days listening. When he first joined the Institute, he expected to encounter glamorous, high-risk espionage. Instead he gets the tape-recorded conversations of ancient Communists and ineffectual revolutionaries - until the day he is assigned a new case: the ultra-secret PHOENIX, a suspected internal leak.

Slow but okay until the end…
Revisado: 11-18-23
It builds slow but i stuck with it as characters and story developed very carefully, meticulously Lot’s of inner reflections of characters inner thinking. The end was coming and i was wondering how is the author going to end this story. And all the sudden like a hidden trap door the whole thing gets yanked away in a few pages. Left hanging. Not worth it.

In the tradition of bestsellers by Robert Ludlum and Vince Flynn, Termination Orders introduces Dan Morgan, a retired black-ops agent who must return to duty to thwart a deadly international conspiracy.
Once a trained killer for the CIA, Dan Morgan has built a new life for himself. But when he receives a desperate plea from his former black-ops partner - reportedly killed in a foreign battle zone - he flies in to help. It should be a routine mission, extracting a human asset from the region, but it’s not - it’s an ambush.

Never Ending
Revisado: 09-15-23
I am new to Audible so the free titles may all be bad to marginal. I have listened to one freebies though that was good. Dissapointed in this book. Anyways Spoiler alert - central theme is a CIA spy is murdered in Afghanistan. His buddy, another CIA spy, comes out of early retirement to finish the work to get to the bottom of a conspiracy involving contract special ops. There is the beginning of a decent story building where the buddy goes to Afghanistan to retrieve a source with good intel but then in pursuit he is killed, oops, plus the local guide, who I liked and provides some comic relief is also killed. Our man’s response - sorry, my mistake - oops again. Two characters important to the setup blip are gone. There was a lot of potential but all the sudden our man is back in the States and a little while later our original dead spy shows up having faked his death and comes back to states through some convuluted route described in the wave of a hand. But we have several chapters to go. I never finished out of boredom and confusion. I could go on but it is not worth the electrons (paper) it is written on. I had to ignore the narrator’s female voices - he tried but it sounded like a parody of a man doing a whinny woman. Ugh I have spent too much time writing this.

A twisted tale of murder in the world of big-stakes bass fishing tournaments. Filled with ex-wives, evangelists, and an armed pit-bull, this is a story that could only be concocted by Carl Hiaasen, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, New York Times best-selling author, and czar of Florida noir fiction.

A Big Fish Tale
Revisado: 09-11-23
A light hearted story set in the multimillion dollar bass championship circuit of the deep south. Murder, cheating, deception all mixed in with array of characters including an eccentric swamp dwelling old timer known only as Skink. Written in the 1980s when answering machines were the cutting edge of technology. Narrator’s performance of a multitude of voices and accents makes for an exceptional performance.
