Assassination Protocol

Cerberus, Book 1

By: Andy Peloquin

Narrated by: Bronson Pinchot

Nolan Garrett is Cerberus. A government assassin, tasked with fixing the galaxy's darkest, ugliest problems with a bullet to the brain.

Armed with cutting-edge weapons and an AI-run cybernetic suit that controls his paralyzed legs, he is the fist in the shadows, the dagger to the heart of the Nyzarian Empire's enemies.

Then he found Bex on his doorstep....

A junkie, high on the drug he'd fought for years to avoid, and a former elite soldier like him. So he takes her in to help her get clean - Silverguards never leave their own behind.

If only he'd known his actions would put him in the crosshairs of the most powerful cartel in New Avalon.

Facing an army of gangbangers, drug pushers, and thugs, Nolan must fight to not only carry out his mission, but to prevent the escalating violence from destroying everything he loves.

Cerberus: Assassination Protocol is the riveting, heart-pounding first book in the epic military sci-fi Cerberus series. If you like fearless heroes, nonstop futuristic action, and neck-breaking plot twists, you'll love Andy Peloquin’s thrilling space opera series.

Solid and Exciting Start!

Assassination Protocol is a solid start for a sci-fi semi-military underworld action series. The characters are flawed-yet-relatable and the world well developed. The cast of character, ranging from ex-military to drug dealers to government intelligence spooks to employees of a strip club to an interesting AI all help to build out the believability of the world and set up for the promise of interesting adventures to come. Narration is excellent and the pacing spot-on. Looking forward to more of what Cerberus uncovers and seeing what he decides to do about it all.

Action Packed Military Sci-fi

Andy Peloquin has written an intense, well crafted, action packed military sci-fi with plenty of plot twists and turns. The flawed characters are well developed and the main character has a good backstory. The world building is nicely done and allows the reader to visualize the setting and future of this attention grabbing story. This is the first time I have listened to a book narrated by Bronson Pinchot; he did an excellent job of providing voice to the various characters. I was provided a free review copy of this audio book and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Don't mess with a 3 headed dog!

Fast paced and full of action Andy Peloquin brings us on a rollercoaster ride in a world that could be ours, but its not - well maybe. The characters are rich and full of life, the tech is cutting edge but has limits... but the bad guys are just plain BAD. The narration is crisp and brings the story to life as only Bronson Pinchot can.

great book

I really enjoyed this book. Exciting and fast paced. can't wait to see how the story develops over the next couple books

Awesome attention to detail!

Andy Peloquin has a real eye and mind for detail. He doesn’t miss a thing as he sets up characters and scenes. He makes you feel like you’re right there in the action. He truly is a wordsmith and an artist worth reading. The narration is good, too. The only reason I haven’t given this 5 stars (yet) is that I have just started listening to the story.

Action right out of the gate!!!

They said you can't keep a good man down. Served his time in the armed forces and was discharged after debilitating injury. Disabled vet during the day and highly skilled assassin by night! He looks out for those he cares about and those who are like him, fellow Silver Guard! Gang bangers beware! this book had me hooked from the start. I can wait for the next one in the series.

Excellent!

A paralyzed assassin working for a secret government department (not entirely voluntarily). Cerberus is a highly trained operator, but the intelligence (or lack there of) on his assigned missions, may well get even him killed. The well crafted story includes none stop action, humor, and some excellent deductive reasoning. This story is very different from other series by this author except in being a very well written, thought out, and entertaining tale with wonderful characters that you quickly care about. I highly recommend this action packed new series.

Looking Forward to Following the Series

I have a strategy of following my favorite narrators in order to discover new authors since I'm assured that the narration at least will be consistent and hope for the best regarding the writing and in this instance, it really paid off. I have finished this book, am working through the 2nd and have added the 3rd and look forward to the 4th book being released in July.

Lots of action in this book

The book starts with an action sequence followed by lots of character building and many more action sequences. There are a couple of times in the story where I had to just push through due to extended self loathing of the main character, but it wasn’t too bad. Also, a couple of sequences that I was a little confused by, e.g. the gun gets shot out of the main characters hand, and then it’s in his hand again. Forgivable, but was a distraction. Overall, I really enjoyed the book, and Bronson Pinchot did a great job!

space Assassin's and drug dealers!

I enjoyed this book very much. I love science fiction and fantasy and this book hits in all the rite places. a disabled military vet turns to assassination to feel needed again needs to take out drug dealers and is thrown in to a world that is filled with danger. I can't wait till the next book to see what happens next!
