The Cabin

De: Landon Beach

Narrado por: Scott Brick

"Fast, relentless, and impossible to put down. Landon Beach's The Cabin is a must-read for fans of Ted Bell, Clive Cussler, and Bryan Gruley." (The Real Book Spy)

A potential worldwide catastrophe looms large, while CIA Officer Jennifer Lear waits in a Berlin café to meet with her agent who has critical information regarding the chilling emerging threat. But the agent is late, and the meeting turns into a frantic struggle to survive, generating many questions about how it all could have gone so wrong - the first being: Who exactly is Jennifer Lear?

Six months later, Iggi and Maria Hilliard arrive at their secluded log cabin on the southern shore of Lake Ontario to celebrate the 4th of July with two friends. One is a co-worker of Maria's, Haley Girard, who is struggling with the idea of turning thirty and just looking for a place to relax away from Rochester. The other guest is recently divorced Detroit Detective Cal Ripley, a man who has been on the front lines since 9/11 and needs time away from his job and Detroit.

The plan is to relax, reflect on life, and reconnect. Maria is also hoping that Haley and Cal find some chemistry. However, as the weekend unfolds, it becomes clear that not everyone in the cabin is who they say they are.

From the cafés of Berlin to the Roman Colosseum. From the jungles of Vietnam to the streets of the Windy City. From the neighborhoods of Detroit to the shores of Lake Ontario, and from the glamor of New York City to the secrets of Langley, Virginia comes The Cabin, the third standalone novel in the riveting Great Lakes action adventure series.

If you like high-stakes espionage, searing topics pulled from the headlines, and endings you won't see coming, then you'll love Landon Beach's tense political thriller.

fast paced and interesting

Characters are well developed and likable. Enjoyed listening in the car, and made our trips much more entertaining. I always enjoy a story more when the characters feel realistic.

Loved it

Fast listen. Great story. Lots of intrigue. Can’t go wrong with Scott Brick reading it.

Enjoyable characters, good story, interesting twists

I loved The Narrator, so I tried this one next. I liked all of the intertwined stories, and found it easy to keep up. The characters are relatable and their backstories provide great context for their mindsets and choices. Fantastic narration (obviously) and good pacing.

my review

good book, I try to go into everything book with a positive attitude, so I do enjoy most books.

Great read

My favorite will always be the Wreck!
However, so far I have sought out each of the books 📚 and have never disappointed.

Great story line

Great story line , wonderful narrator in S B. The atmosphere presented is very similar to today's world events!

Cabin review

The book was hard to follow, too many flashbacks and too many characters incorporated into the story. It felt as though many of the chapters were written with the sole purpose of lengthening the book or to clarify the plot, but in doing so just added extra pieces to try and keep track of. I was gonna quit mid book but had invested too much time to back out.

Exciting

Great story. so glad to have found a 'new' author. Great story and character development

Must Read

Beautifully written and researched making this a page turner. Scott Brick is an excellent, admittedly a fav, reader and does the story justice.

Thought Provoking Thriller

<strong> Thought Provoking Thriller</strong>

Wow. What an incredible book. This is my third book, reading the Great Lakes series. I've read The Wreck, which I enjoyed a great deal, The Hike, which was a fantastic thriller, and now The Cabin. Landon Beach has become one of my favorite authors. His stories and especially, characterizations are wonderful and skilfully done.
This book is a get together with friends, wrapped around an espionage thriller. The characters were so real, I was more interested in their lives, than the framing story. Each person came across as a fully realized character, and we learn the events that made them who they are. We have a couple who have a cabin inviting two guests over for a fun weekend. Iggy and Maria, the cabin owners are expecting her fellow teacher friend Hayley and friend Cal, who is a cop. She wants to play matchmaker and has high hopes for the other guests. Each character is written beautifully, and brings people of different backgrounds and ethnicities together, while exploring differences and similarities. I don't want to spoil too much, but this book really had me involved in the lives of the four, which was also relevant to the framing story. A great story makes you care about the people and this definitely succeeds. You will not see twists coming. I find Beach's books hard to stop listening, since I love the audio book versions. Scott Brick does a masterful job with the characters. Thrills, chills, and great characters make this an exciting and thought provoking read. I will be looking forward to the next book coming next year and finish up with The Sail.
