Acerca de esta escucha
A Cold War attack by Soviet helicopters on an Afghan village. A knife-edge CIA operation that goes wrong. And a vengeful mujahideen tribesman, armed with Stinger missiles. When CIA officer Joe Johnson is handed the tough task by his boss of capturing a Soviet helicopter and forging better contacts among the mujahideen, he unknowingly finds himself up against a sinister KGB rival who wants him dead.
But after coming under fire, Johnson comes to suspect that his difficulties stem not just from the Soviets - but from a traitor on his own side. To extricate himself from the web of deceit in which he finds himself, Johnson comes to rely on a female colleague from Britain’s MI6, Jayne Robinson, to whom he grows unexpectedly close.
As pressure mounts on Johnson from CIA headquarters at Langley and politicians in Washington, DC, the story reaches a climax during a life-or-death shootout in Jalalabad. The Afghan, set in 1988, is a thriller that forms a compelling prequel to the Joe Johnson series as a whole. It also creates the backdrop for Book Four in the series, Stalin’s Final Sting, set in Afghanistan, New York City, and Moscow in the present day. Meet Joe Johnson today and see how he uncovers dark secrets.

Court Gentry is known as The Gray Man—a legend in the covert realm, moving silently from job to job, accomplishing the impossible, and then fading away. And he always hits his target. But there are forces more lethal than Gentry in the world. And in their eyes, Gentry has just outlived his usefulness. Now, he is going to prove that for him, there's no gray area between killing for a living-and killing to stay alive.

Great introduction to a great series!
I've already finished books 1 & 2 in the series and found this intro to the series to be highly enlightening to the rest of the series! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Many loose ends to be tied up
This book, while well written and holding my attention, was somewhat unsatisfying. I presume because it was a prequel to the series and left many loose ends and unanswered questions. As I haven't read any other books in the series yet, I felt like the book was unfinished. Perhaps the book is more satisfying for readers who already have a knowledge of the characters and their history.
Still, it did a good job getting me tempted to find out if any of those loose ends are ever tied up. I will probably continue tho the 1st book in the series to finally determine how I feel about the author.

More please
After listening to 'The Afghan' I was left wanting more. Lucky for me, it is a prequel to the Joe Johnston series and I am able to fulfill my wish. It is a completely believable story set in the turbulent time of the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the United States effort to push them out. It has the required intrigue, action and a little romance without getting sexually explicate. Please keep them coming Andrew.
