Does not disappoint!

The story does not disappoint. The author try puts our hero, Scott Horvath. through the ringer in this one,. All those Scott cares for are being targeted and become subject to unthinkable torture. Horvath calls in favors from some old friends we have previously met and many new ones that you will instantly like to stop the assailant.

Honestly , I had not been a big fan of the narrator in the previous Brad Thor books however, I must say that I even enjoyed the actual narration .

Highly recommend this and the other Scott Horvath stories.

State of the Union

Reviewed: 12-01-15

Would you try another book from Brad Thor and/or George Guidall?

Will be reading all of Thor's novels which include his hero, Secret Service Agent Scott Harvath.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

One thing I specifically enjoy about Thor's novels is that the first action packed crisis our characters survive is only the pre-cursor to the main event ...

Would you be willing to try another one of George Guidall’s performances?

I was very disappointed with Guidall's performance. While he attempted to change tones for the variois characters, I found his voice almost monotone and quite boring. It makes it very difficult to enjoy some of the witty rremarks the characters make.

Was State of the Union worth the listening time?

If you could tolerate Guidall's reading.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed Armand Schultz' reading of Lions of Lucerne. While I certainly can't speak to other audible listener preferences, when I listen to a book, I need the narrator to be the characters. I need the characters to have different voices. I need the story to come to life. For me, that is one of the pleasures of an audio book. As fellow readers know, a bad narrator can totally ruin a book and even turn you off for the remainder of a series. Unfortunately, the narrator of State of the Union was pretty close. If not for Thor's edge of the seat story, I could have been turned off all future Thor novels.

Would you consider the audio edition of Against All Enemies to be better than the print version?

The narrator brought this story to life. Every character (from many different countries) all had different accents. I could tell which character was speaking by that alone.

What did you like best about this story?

Our hero, Max Moore and the great narration.

What about Steven Weber’s performance did you like?

Each character had a different voice. Some books, even though the story may be great, is ruined by poor narration. I would love to see Steven Weber and Lou Diamond Phillips (the Jack Ryan series) read all the books I listen to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was a slow starter, but then I have found that most Clancy books are that way. I knew if I stayed with the early chapters the stoey woukd unfold.
