A definite must listen!

The R-Group is back! Gracie and progeny are set to bring down a conniving, evil, and ultimately deadly plastics dealer. Phillip Pliant has successfully wooed city leaders and corporations with the promise of millions into his scheme. Aided by the cartel, Pliant has assured success at creating havoc and ultimately costing many their lives in the devastating disaster coming! That is until he crosses paths with the R-Group!

The authors, Charles Breakfield and Rox Burkey continue the story of the R-Group and CATS into another generation. Breakfield and Burkey are deliberate and methodical in their weaving of a story. While one does expect a plot twist or two, they still happen unexpectedly or with a completely unexpected twist. The authors are intentional in their reveals and never disappoint!

The narrator, Derek Shoales is excellent as the voice actor. He is very skilled at projecting the emotions and actions of each character according to the situation – the female characters are given strong and authoritative voices as are the males. He also does a very good female voice! He switches with fluid ease between the accents and genders. Derek Shoales and his support team are excellent!

I highly recommend this book. Although for a minute, I was disappointed that most of the original characters do not appear in this book, it speaks to the author’s abilities to grow their original story purpose – a watchdog to protect – through the generations and the changing of time while still remaining true.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

great book

have not read any other books by Breakfield and Burkey and worried I would miss pieces. However, the authors did an excellent job filling in all the blanks, and I could follow along without any issues.

Enigma Tracer takes the reader on an undercover job aboard a Caribbean cruise. What I found interesting were the characters’ planning discussions before they boarded the ship. The discussions are enough to help understand the technical side of what they will be doing but don’t give away what the characters will do.

The friendships are clearly defined, and the dialogue is natural. Following the story had some twists and hardships.
This is a great young adult book, especially if you are into detectives, mystery or technology.

A thriller that engages!!!

This story begins when Gracie and Bailey embark on an exciting cruise on their dream vacation, but find themselves caught up in a world of intrigue and danger. Enigma Tracer, by Breakfield and Burkey, grabs you from the first chapter you listen to, it has romance, mystery, and keeps you anticipating until the end and wanting to hear more.

Can't stand the sound of that voice

Struggled to finish listening. My concentration was impaired. Spent half a day listening and I can't tell you anything about the story. Not good!
