Armored

By: Mark Greaney

Narrated by: Dan Bittner, Lauren Fortgang, Thom Rivera, Jay Snyder, Andrew Call, Ronald Conner, Jalen Gilbert, Ana Osorio, Alex Hernandez, Brandon Dirden, John Mossman, Gabriel Gutierrez, Simon Jutras, Gabriel Romero, Beto Ruiz

A team of military contractors fights for its life in this high-adrenaline, full-cast drama from Mark Greaney, author of the Audible and New York Times best-selling Gray Man series.

Josh Duffy is staring into the abyss.

A decorated army veteran turned military contractor, his last mission went sideways, leaving him badly injured and his career derailed. Now, he’s working as a mall cop, trying to keep his family one step ahead of the bill collectors.

So when a chance at redemption - and a big pay day - comes his way, Duff eagerly jumps in.

The job - to ride shotgun on a motorcade of heavily armed and armored vehicles as they roll into Mexico’s cartel country. The mission - to find a notorious drug lord and bring him to the negotiating table with the Mexican government and the UN.

But Duff’s employer, Armored Saint, has a track record that’s sketchy, at best. And from the moment the motorcade hits the dusty roads, the danger only increases.

It's a suicide run - and for Duff, the violent forces of the cartels may not be the biggest threat.

NOTE: Armored contains scenes of violence and strong language and is intended for mature listeners.

Movie in your ears

I don’t normally bother with these reviews but this production was something else, more like a movie in your ears than anything I have heard for 30 years, not since the last of the radio plays. The story was strong, multidimensional and action packed, hard to put down. The performance’s where excellent. It’s going to be hard going back to a voice reading a book, even Jack Reacher read by Jeff Harding falls flat against this multidimensional production. Treat yourself, it’s a movie in your head and ears, give your eyes a rest and enjoy, and, I dare you to try and fall asleep, not going to happen.

Excellent story and presentation

As usual, the research for this story was impeccable! The portrayal of operations and battle for private security forces was believable and moving. The characters were realistic and the story definitely held my attention. I highly recommend!!

Thrill Ride

Wonderful performance !!! Relatable characters, great acting, good dialogue. Story has the perfect amount of human interest and action. You don't have to be familiar with the us military to understand what is happening, but if you are its even better.

So Far So Good!

I'm only 12 chapters into this, but I thought I should write a bit as soon as possible.
Full disclosure: I'm a real Greaney fan.
But I've never had an audible that wasn't a straight narration, or had maybe two separate narrators for voices.
This treatment has a complete cast of actors, sound effects, and other performance treatments that make it similar to a high-tech old time radio show.
I was dubious for the first few minutes when I began listening to this.
But the producers, actors, and the writer Greaney really pulled it off big time!

The story for me, is really interesting, .... has just the right balance of big action, plot setup, and general pace.....

The story has great characters, and the actors do terrific justice to them.

I can't tell you if this "old time radio show" style of audible has been done by other action authors, and I just haven't read any of those,..... or if this is a unique approach. But I wouldn't have thought in a million years if somebody had described it, that you could actually pull it off in the audible medium .

But they definitely have here. If you've read Mark's books before, then you'll really enjoy this. And because I because I listen to a lot of action authors, and really do enjoy it.... This was a really refreshing new way to take in a great story.

Entertainment on steroids!

I really enjoyed this movie playing out in audio format. Many more like this please.

I absolutely loved this book!!

I love the gray man series, but this was so well done, I am looking forward to the next installment, and a movie!!

outstanding

so many voices , one for each character , makes it sound more real , unique , will wait for more like this

Looking forward to the movie, hopefully.

This was an awesome audiobook.

I loved everything about this book. The storyline was great and very realistic. Having multiple individuals to be the voices of the different characters added to the story tremendously. This book was well written and didn’t have a lot of unnecessary fluff - thank you for that. I could go on but hopefully whoever reads this review gets the point.

Great story performed with multiple actors plus sound effects

This is the future of audio books! An excellent experience! Highly recommend! Mark is a great writer!

I love full cast readings

This was very entertaining. Like watching a movie with the picture off. Not many full cast books available that I can find .
