National Security

A Jericho Quinn Thriller, Book 1

De: Marc Cameron

Narrado por: Tom Weiner

New York Times best-selling Author of Field of Fire and Tom Clancy Power and Empire and Tom Clancy Oath of Office

Warning: The next terrorist attack on American soil is coming...sooner than you think.

They can strike anytime, anywhere. A public landmark. A suburban shopping mall. And now, the human body itself. Three Middle Eastern terrorists have been injected with a biological weapon, human time bombs unleashed on American soil. They are prepared to die. To spread their disease. To annihilate millions. If America hopes to fight this enemy from within, we need a new kind of weapon. Meet Special Agent Jericho Quinn. Air Force veteran. Champion boxer. Trained assassin. Hand-picked for a new global task force that, officially, does not exist. Quinn answers only to the Director of National Intelligence and the US President himself.

Under the radar. Brutal. Without limits.

America's answer to terrorism.

ok not great

the story was just ok. The plot was a bit tired and the character's development was off.

Serviceable, but not especially good

Entertaining plot, if a bit more James Bond (movie version) than techno-thriller.

The protagonist and sidekicks are drawn fairly well, though I don't get much of a feel of military from these military folks. The author draws too much from coincidence and convenience to maintain verisimilitude. And the cliff-hanger ending could (should) have been left for the following book.

The narrator tries too hard for different voices and exhausts his competent range relatively quickly. When this happens, he becomes a distraction.

Not terrible, but not one of the better suspense novels I've read recently.

I want to read it again

Simply put it's an adventure tracking down three terrorists harboring ebola types virus. . Many subjects I know nothing about. We're exposed in this book without making me feel stupid about not knowing about Ebola. Type vibrases and terrorist groups from the Middle East and military types of service in confliction. Strange things definitely an adventure book and well worth a second read. To try to put it altogether again.

Interesting new series for me

I am looking forward to hearing the rest of this series. I like it better than the author's writing of 'Tom Clancy' books. It is much more original, and interesting than additional Jack Ryan stuff

National Security

I really liked this book and am now starting the Jericho Quinn second book in the series. I think this will be a good series.

Poor reading

Great story love the main character
But need a different reader
Someone who read Jack Ryan or Mitch Rapp audio books

Excellent

The story is so good with just enough twists to keep you interested. The characters are developed well and make we you want to know more! Can’t wait to read/listen to the next!

Good Story, but too real

The story was good enough to keep me interested, but almost too scary since it could happen for real

Great story but

I just couldn't get used to the narrator. Everyone sounded like they were black and smoked 10 packs of cigarettes a day since childhood. The Jericho Quinn books will have to be read normally.

Old But Decent

Reading Marc Cameron's Arliss Cutter series so decided to try the Jericho Quinn books. Off to a good start. The characters are good at the start and I suspect will improve with time.
