Left for Dead

A Novel

By: Sean Parnell

Narrated by: Stephen Mendel

Special Operative Eric Steele battles a renegade group of bioterrorists armed with a devastating virus in the fourth pulse-pounding military thriller from the New York Times best-selling author of Outlaw Platoon.

On a remote mountaintop in Western China, Doctor Ai Liang is about to risk everything and defy the Chinese Communist Party. She and her team have created a terrifying new coronavirus, even more deadly than COVID-19, called C-62 that is capable of killing a person in 20 minutes. But her conscience tells her she must destroy the deadly bioweapon before it can bring devastation to millions. The doctor’s heroic plans are interrupted when mysterious commandos swarm the lab, kill everyone in sight, and take off with the C-62 virus.

Meanwhile, Eric Steele is on a cleanup mission, about to exact revenge on the group responsible for killing numerous alphas and forcing the Program to disband. When justice is served, Steele can turn his thoughts to other pressing matters - namely his long-lost father and his estranged girlfriend, Meg Harden.

But when news of CCP plans to attack US forces reach the United States, the president calls for the revival of the Program to deal with this new threat. Steele is back in action and soon learns that the supposed CCP attack is related to a much more complex plot involving a fanatical Chinese Imperialist group - and the stolen C-62 bioweapon. It’s up to Steele and his team to find out who the real threat is and stop them before they can unleash another pandemic in the form of the deadly C-62 virus on the entire world.

Each book gets better

Each book has been better than the last. It is a definite cliffhanger. I hope the author continues to write or at the very least end this story.

Story Line

I enjoyed the different stories that became linked and intertwined. These stories offer an interesting perspective.

Excellent Adventure!!!

Sean Parnell is an excellent story teller. His stories are fast moving and full of adventure. His Books, like many of the past, are difficult to put down!!! ENJOY!!!

One of the best Eric Steele books!!!

The cliffhanger from the prior book is resolved -- and this is a fast paced and wonderful listen.

Always a good time with Parnell

While not as explosive action wise as his earlier books this is still an engaging and exciting read. There is a twist in the book which carries over at the end if the story and it will keep you wanting more if this series.

Narrator ruins the book

Every time the narrator uses the voice for “Ralphie” I die a little inside. Decent story line, not a fan of the cliffhanger ending, but I will definitely be waiting for the next book.

Outstanding story. Well written and flowed well. Lots of twists and turns and a must read

Fast paced, Great read

This was a fantastic read for a political junkie. I loved the mix of real life politicians and swamp creatures memorialized into fiction. I laughed out loud at the disgusting Eric Swalwell character. It was entertaining, visual and complete. I can’t wait for the next Steele adventure.

Bring back old narrator

The narrator just doesn’t live up to the characters. At times you wince at the voices he uses.

Just keeps getting better!

Finished in 2 days….great story and great characters. On the edge of your seat one minute a laughing out loud the next. Can’t wait for the next one….especially with that ending!
