Power Play

Mack Bedford, Book 4

De: Patrick Robinson

Narrado por: Joe Barrett

The year is 2018 - a highly volatile nuclear world. Israel has obliterated the deep underground nuclear weapons facility built by Iran. The United States has destroyed the nuclear facility of a defiant North Korea. The Russians have upped the stakes in the latest world power-play - cyber warfare - to reduce the United States to helplessness: a three-strike missile attack on the National Security Agency at Fort Mead, Maryland, while simultaneously jamming the top-secret electronic access key to America’s nuclear launch system - the nuclear football. If successful, Russia would blow the United States off the nuclear map.

Meanwhile the British Royal Navy, formerly the most powerful in the world, is rapidly crumbling, leaving the United States without its main deep-sea ally at a time when they’re needed most. As this geopolitical battle comes to light behind closed doors dealings and dark secrets, it is up to Mossad spymaster, codenamed the 'Golan', to avert the Russian scheme, and there is only one man he in turn can trust to get the job done: US Navy Seal Mack Bedford.

It’s up to Mack Bedford to devise a plan to stop the Russians before they and their cyber weaponry reach the Chinese border - the launch site of their master plan. And with the entire country’s fate in his hands, Mack and his hard-trained, one of a kind SEAL Team 10 must not, cannot fail.

Patrick Robinson: Master Story Teller

Another amazing Seal Team 10 adventure to save America from losing her eyes and ears, even her "brain", at the NSA in Maryland.
Roll Tom Clancy, Brad Thor and Frederick Forsythe together and you have Patrick Robinson.

Ok performance for a a good story

The headline sums it up. Just Bit of a flat ending but otherwise enjoyable. The reader was a bit flat but did a good job.

very detailed as usual. good to see Mac back at it

struggled in the middle but the books ends with the good guys winning th le end

Very good...

Love this author love this narrator, not his best book lacks action, but full of the history of the Emeril Isle, which is near and dear to my heart!

Slow Developing

Well, I still enjoy these stories. This one was slow to develop and still slow to the end. It lacked even the excitement during the battle for the ship.
Hmmm
Regroup?

Joe Barrett is 1 of the NARRATOR GOATS

I blows me away every time I listen to Joe Barrett narrate a book how much he has mastered the art and craft of narration. I could listen to him all day, every day!

Interesting ploy

A little slow in places, but entertaining and worth waiting for the good parts
Nice writing style

Typical Robinson-GREAT

A tad slower than some Mack Bedford books, but attention to detail kept my intrigued. Great read!

Great story but could be cut in length.

Storyline & characters tend to drift off & eventually return. Main character seemed to all but disappear from the beginning until 3/4 through. Military accuracy (latest SOP) is about 80%. Narrator made good efforts to mimic accents. Very appreciated.

As always Patrick Robinson is a master.

A little slow at the start but picked up the pace and ended in a superb conclusion. I enjoyed it immensely.
