Flash Point

Jason Trapp, Book 3

De: Jack Slater

Narrado por: Mark Garkusha

Sometimes the past doesn't stay buried...

A Russian S-400 surface-to-air missile system takes down a passenger jetliner in the skies over Belarus, showering the fields below in burning scrap. As the world begins to mourn the horrific accident, one man—new CIA director, George Lawrence—knows it is anything but.

Three hundred innocents were sacrificed in order to snuff out the life of one man: Professor Alexey Sokolov, a senior adviser to the Russian government. As well as a CIA asset recruited by a ghost known as the Hangman...

Trapp doesn't know any of this. He's hundreds of miles away in rural Tuscany with Eliza Ikeda, and on a mission of his own: recovery. Both are hurting, but this is their chance at a real life. Together.

But it doesn't take long for trouble to arrive at their door. He should have known that his past wouldn't let go that easily. The question is: why did Sokolov run? How did the Russians discover who he truly was—and what secret could possibly justify the murder of three hundred innocent men, women and children to cover up?

Trapp doesn't want to know. But he sure as hell intends to find out...

Fans of Ryan, Reacher and Bourne will love betrayed CIA operative Jason Trapp, who stars in a pulse-pounding revenge thriller that threatens to be 2019's breakout hit.

Seems Hangman is getting softer and slower

The first book the hangman was a total badass. The second at least to me he stated to slip and in this one he seemed to take another step back and it was more talk about who is than actual action. I felt he took a backseat to his new partner, but I still enjoyed it and will check out the next book. My final thought to the author would be to reread the first book against. It’s ok to show his human side and add a love interest, but don’t change him too much more and keep him the main character please.

I lost track of the objective.

it was still an enjoyable book, although I couldn't seem to follow what the objective was to the book. the relationships within the story I enjoyed watching develop. character development was good. I just found myself not always understanding what their objective was. It's not as good as the 1st 2 books, but I will continue.

The fascinating plot!

Loved the high drama quality and the amazing ways Jason meets all challenges successfully. Plus it’s great that he has a girlfriend!!

Engaging characters.

Nice balance of detail, exposition, character development, and relevance. But for pete's sake, it's "in-EX-orable" not "in-ex-OR-able."

Great Characters & Plots

Just finished my third book in the series and if there was a fourth I would go for it too. This author has really nailed it. I love how over the course of 3 books we have really gotten to know Jason Trapp. I also love the addition of the female heroine & feel like she is equally as bad ass as Trapp. I’m a big fan of Jack Carr and this is filling the void until I wait for the next install of the Terminal List. The narrator did a good job-sounded a lot like Keanu Reeves at times. I like to show support, so I went and followed the author on Twitter, but mistakenly went to the narrators page and found out he’s a big liberal:pro child mutilation, pro vaccine, pronoun wearing hateful ass. Hopefully AI can replace him soon. Looking to read book 4.

Character Development

After reading book one, I was looking forward to reading book 2… and I was not disappointed. In addition to the action of this book, I was very pleasantly surprised by the continued development of the characters. I subtracted one star because I wish there was more explanation of the technology involved. I intend to read the next book.

Realistic timing and locations

Like the character development and the detailed facts. Using real existing agencies and believable characters makes the story flow better.

Entertaining

A fun listen for the work commute.
My only issue is the occasional mispronunciation of some words: inexorable and wan (conflagration in the last book, although the reader for it right in this one). Seems like that would be a no-brainer to check and fix.

Book two doesn’t disappoint. Story lines based in 2023 geopolitics. AWESOME.

I enjoyed this book. It made me sit in the car at my destination several times lol Great stuff Jack Slater and Mark Garkusha. This one includes plot lines that explore the what if of escalating tensions in the South China Sea play out further than just moving a carrier group to the region.

It’s a great listen and I bought more credits to start book 3 before my monthly subscription comes with 2 new credits.

High power

Excellent stories like both operatives the stories love along nicely and it’s interesting to hear the side notes such as. The count try they are in the description of the weapons
