Armored

De: Mark Greaney

Narrado por: Adam Gold

A novel inspired by number one New York Times best-selling author Mark Greaney’s Audible Original drama, Armored.

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.

There's not much call for an elite bodyguard with such an injury. So, Josh has to support his family working as a mall cop in New Jersey. For a man like Josh, this is purgatory on earth, but miracles can occur even in Paramus.

A lucky run-in with an old comrade promises to get Josh back in the field for one last job. The UN is sending a peace mission into the Sierra Madre mountains in Mexico, an area so dangerous it's known as Espinazo del Diablo—the Devil's Spine. Only a fool would think they could broker peace between the homicidal drug cartels in the region, and only a madman would sign on to keep those fools alive.

Vet bro overload

The story was good, but the vet bro story telling was a little over the top. As a former AH-64 Apache pilot and retired CW4 with 4x combat tours, I took offense to the storyline of the WO being a coward and the ROTC VMI grad being the hooah person. This is so far from the majority it’s laughable. Again, I am a little biased (LOL). The Vet Bro storytelling was really my biggest issue. Could of been a great book, but the oratory job was weak. On another note, The Gray Man movie was horrible!

Great book

Never have read any books by this author! This book kept me at the edge of my seat. Will now go and read his other books.

Very different from the gray man serious but worth the read

I almost stopped listening to this book multiple times in the first 5 to 10 chapters but I’m glad that I did it. This is such a stretch from the gray man series that this author wrote that I almost didn’t give it a shot but it’s well worth the listen or read if you can get into the storyline

Mark Greaney Delivers Again

Not the Grey Man, just a gripping stand alone tale full of action.
Narration is first rate.

Fast moving

This book hooked me in and kept moving all the way through. Good characters. Interesting story line.

Duff done good

Rooting for this guy the entire book! No super soldier, just an average Joe with good instincts trying to provide for his family. This is not another Gray Man, trust me. Josh Duffy is definitely in his own league. Great book!

Edge of your seat

The suspense and action were top notch with just enough humor to
Make it believable.. well done

A must read!

I don’t usually write reviews have to say this is one of the best books I have read in a long time will be very happy it is a must!

Who to trust

Everyone has an agenda and there is no one to trust. They are a group made from “damaged goods” and built to fail.. Duff leads them against impossible odds but read it for yourself Great story and great characters. Prepare for the unexpected the least predictable plane ride ever.

solid 5 stars even if slow start

6 stars for the last half! Greaney puts the listener(reader) right into the action, and of course his knowledge brings the realism! some parts were predictable - but in a good way- looking to MG's next release
