Slow start with a good ending

Narrator pronounces some words incorrectly which was a bit offputting at first… still the story is good.

No character development, cartoonish story.

Part soap opera with cartoonish combat scenes. No character development so hard to get involved. Kept getting bored, even in action scenes.

Narrator lacks

Narrator pronunciation of “balaclava” grated on my ears. Detracted from story. Otherwise okay. Get a different reader.

Good storyline

The story is good, but I can't get past the mispronunciations of the narrator. Simple English words that are mispronounced, when NARRATING is your only job, takes away from the experience for the listener. There are so many people involved in the process of creating an audiobook- the author, the narrator, the producers, the editors.....why isn't it caught???

Pronunciation

This might have been a good book. I generally like the author but I couldn't get past the narrator. Hode instead of hold and exspecially instead of especially and so on. I'll have to buy the paperback.

Don’t

If you know anything of the Secret Service and national security in general, this book will frustrate you. The plot was terrible. Character development anemic. I couldn’t finish the book.

Didn’t grab me!

Didn’t grab me like most other books in the same genre do. His other series is much better. Plus I can’t stand when narrators mispronounce words and there was quite a bit of that going on. Sadly disappointed.
