Joshua Duffy is a Close Protection Agent — a professional bodyguard — and he's one of the world's elite operatives. That is, he was until his last mission in Lebanon. Against all odds, Josh got his primary out alive, but the cost was high. Josh lost his lower left leg.

Better than expected

I really liked that it didn't become a story all about his Leg. The story involved Good turns and plenty of colorful characters. I thought the reading was a little too choppy in the beginning but I either got used to it or it changed. Again, good story, with nice twists. I would be interested to see if Duff could carry more stories.

Admiral McRaven shares extraordinary stories of courage, duty, and sacrifice from his distinguished career in Special Operations. I've listened twice now and felt every moment of sorrow, gratitude, pride, and inspiration that I experienced the first time.

A woman boards a plane in the African country of Burkina Faso having just completed a targeted assassination for the state of Israel. Two minutes later, her plane is blown out of the sky. Over 6,000 miles away, former Navy SEAL James Reece watches the names and pictures of the victims on cable news. One face triggers a distant memory of a Mossad operative attached to the CIA years earlier in Iraq—a woman with ties to the intelligence services of two nations…a woman Reece thought he would never see again.

Jack, you are leaving me hanging in the most epic way!
If you could release the sequel next week, that would be great. I was a little slow to come around in Terminal List but Reece has grown on me more and more.
Thank you for making me rethink speaking out loud around electronics ever again!

Keep them coming! I am a fan!
Following and developing Tacoma should be a lot of fun. Coes jumped off to a good start with The Russian. I couldn't give it 5 stars for a couple of small issues with character development/storyline that seemed inconsistent with me.
First, the claim that Rob was more subtle than Dewey didn't match up considering just how unsubtle Rob proved to be with his fly by the seat of his pants planning and in the airport. Dewey proved to be at least that subtle in The Last Refuge infiltrating Iran.
Secondly, I found Katie's outburst when Rob was at the compound to be out of character. I know she is close to Rob but she always came across as much more professional and in control than that.
Other than minor inconsistencies (IMHO), I truly enjoyed this book. It only took two days for me to listen to it commiting and walking the dogs etc. I found my self unwilling at times to put it down to take care of routine domestic issues.

George Guidal (spelling) is one of the best readers for this genre. He draws you in to this already well written story to the point of feeling the bone crunching action enough to make you squirm a little. Rapp is ruthless as POTUS let's him loose on America's enemies. It left me craving more Rapp!

Solid Story

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and characters. It was not as high paced as others in this genre but made up for that with a certain sophistication brought to bear by the title character.

It's a gorgeous autumn day in Georgetown. The Democratic candidates for president and vice-president of the United States are dutifully glad-handing voters and the media outside a grand estate where a national-security conference has just been held, bringing together the world's greatest minds to discuss the issues that are threatening the country. It's American politicking at its best. That's when all hell breaks loose.
