Enemy Within

Executive Office Series, Book 3

De: Tal Bauer

Narrado por: John Solo

President Jack Spiers fled Washington DC on the heels of a devastating attack on CIA headquarters, masterminded by one of America's own, former General Porter Madigan. While the world believes Jack was killed in the bombing, he embarks on a wild infiltration mission, smuggling himself into occupied Russia to rescue the love of his life: former Secret Service Agent and First Gentleman Ethan Reichenbach.

Reunited, Jack, Ethan, and deposed Russian president Sergey Puchkov, along with President Elizabeth Wall - the only person left in Washington DC who Jack trusts - must work together. They piece together a desperate plan, hunting Madigan to the ends of the earth and the bitter frigidity of the Arctic, where Madigan's world-shattering doomsday plan comes together.

Outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and outgunned, Jack, Ethan, Sergey, and the rest of the team struggle to put a stop to Madigan and his army. In the desolate extremes of the Arctic, their resolve, their strength, and even their love is tested, pushed to the absolute limits as choices must be made: choices that pit the fate of the world against the love in their hearts, and the loves of their life.

Contains mature themes.

Watch out Tom Clancy

The conclusion of the Executive Office Series was epic! More heart wrenching moments between our heroes, with the Tom Clancy level of detail and political intrigue. I was riveted the whole time! The voice performance was also great—all around excellent story!

One of the best gay romances you could read

I have read so many gay romance novel over the past few years, but none of them has been like these three books. They’re just simply phenomenal. From the story, the performance, to how detail and emotional it really is. Highly recommend to give this a try. I could totally see this turned into a movie or a TV show that I think will create a huge impact. The story of Jack and Ethan is so inspiring and I think personally will stay with me as a very special one to remember. Has become definitely one of my favorite book trilogy.

5+5+5*****stars

This most definitely a movie Jack and Heaton the way they worked in random was amazing Heaton proposed at the the right time. If this isn't a movie it should be Jack should have stayed the the President and finished his terms at least grant him that. John Solo you are amazing. Talk Bauer great writing love this story.

Best books of the year!

This review is for all 3 books, but OMFG! What an amazing series! These are the first books I have found that include a gripping, adventurous storyline with actual romance. I love the characters and their personalities (Looking at Sergey here) and I deeply enjoyed their relationships with not only their respective partners but their friends as well. 1000000/10!

Stunning series!

I've listened to this series with awe. Awe for the brilliant story, and awe for the beautiful, heartfelt narrating by John Solo. All the emotions were right. Everything just fit, like we are used to from John. I will return to this series again and again.

Worldwide Web Warped

Heart stopping action. Cataclysmic consequences. Bone deep betrayal. Heroic rescues thwarted. That's just the first couple of chapters of a Tal Bauer book and it's only getting started! Non-stop death defying and hopeful. I didn't want it to end, but my heart can only take so much stress. Surprising. Tender. Brutal. Love. Perfect denouement to a thrilling series. Would love to watch it as a series.

What a story!

Tension, passion, war, perseverance, violence, joy, heartache and pretty fantastical MM action. Who could ask for more? It was captivating

Great series, spy thriller for the gays

This series had it all, action, suspense, love. The only complaints I have are the overuse of the word “soul” and too many explicit erotic scenes that sometimes felt excessive and unrealistic. Otherwise it was a dream come true to have this epic action story that I could really relate to as a gay man. One other small issue, I’m glad it was finally acknowledged in the last book but it took to long for Jack Spiers to be labeled as bisexual. It felt really odd to be cheering for this relationship when one of the men keep calling himself straight even after “going all the way” and admitting his love. Got kind of like a “turning the straight man gay” fantasy that I didn’t like. But like I said that was finally resolved in the end. Fantastic performance by the reader, despite a handful of awkward pronunciations of some words, very passionate and emotive.

this chick's every box

this series is one of the best that I've read in a long time. well rounded characters, plot twists, duplicity, romance, and great action scenes all the way through this three book series.
it definitely has some steamy scenes, but they never feel gratuitous. multiple romances and discoveries go through the story and add another layer.
definitely recommend

Soooo much going on and all worth it

This is my 1st review, so I'm going to keep it short.

You get invested in these guys. It's so hard to "see" them suffer. Just watch out for chapter 38. It was a killer for me and I had to take a break from listening for a few days, just to emotionally prepare for what may have come next. There were so many rough patches for those guys to get past but for some reason, 38 just GOT ME.
