The Bin Laden Plot

Trident Deception, Book 7

By: Rick Campbell

Narrated by: Daniel Thomas May

A US destroyer is torpedoed by an Iranian submarine and Captain Murray Wilson of the USS Michigan is flown to the Pentagon to meet with the Secretary of the Navy (SecNav). There, Wilson learns that the Iranian submarine is just a cover story. One of the United States' own fully automated unmanned underwater vehicles has gone rogue, its programing corrupted in some way. Murray is charged with hunting it down and taking it out before the virus that's infected its operating system can infect the rest of the fleet.

At the same time, the head of the SEAL detachment aboard the USS Michigan is killed, and Lonnie Mixell, a former US operative—now assassin for hire, is responsible. And that is only the first SEAL to be hunted down and killed. Jake Harrison, fellow SEAL, discovers that these SEALs had one mission in common—they were all on the team that killed Bin Laden. Or so the world was told.

As Wilson discovers that his mission is actually meant to cover up dangerous acts of corruption, even treason, Harrison discovers that the assassin is out to protect the same forces. Forces too powerful for either of them to take on alone.

entertaining

the narrator wasn't as good as the past books in the series. need more variation

The story

would it hurt to spend a few more dollars to get a female voice to actually voice the female parts. it's ridiculous

A different narrator

You’ve left the story open and allowed another book or two. Here’s hoping you will find another narrator, might I suggest Kramer or better yet R. Porter

Good but not great

Not as good as the previous stories but not horrible. Narration seemed not as good as well.
Worth a credit if you have followed the series but not if you are looking to listen to a stand alone.

Good Story Bad Narrator

Should have stayed with the original narrator, sounds like book is read by AI. All of Campbells books are good but this one seemed to struggle with story line.

one of the worst narrations I have heard

this was a good story line in a much anticipated series. I gave been waiting for years. but this was quite possible the worst narration I have heard. forced over dramatic male voices, and then falsetto female voices that screamed of a badly done antebellum south. the narration was cringe worthy and honestly would have been fine if he hadn't tried so hard. very unfortunate.

Fun Story, Terrible Narrator

I am enjoying the story so far, as I have all the other books by Campbell, but this time I can't help but wonder if anyone actually listened to it before making it available for purchase. I saw the other reviews and listened to the preview thinking it couldn't be that bad, but boy was I wrong. This guy is flat out awful. Honestly, I think I'm at 80 or 90 finished books now, and this is definitely fighting for the top spot of worst narrators so far.

Great story but awful narrator

An interesting story with lots of good twists and turns, despite an obvious overarching storyline. However, the narrator was truly wretched. He mispronounced place names and his voices for the villain and for women were astonishingly bad. One woman who was supposed to be sexy was given the voice of a 7 year old girl. Truly disturbing. Other women got one dimensional high pitch shrieks for voices. If I had the money I would pay to have him voice act my enemies.

A Thriller from start to finish!

Oh my goodness, what a ride! I have read the entire series, and Campbell out does himself this time! Get it and read it!

Conflicted

The new narrator is a huge let down. The pronunciation of main characters names changed from the previous 6 books. Otherwise I think he did a fair job.

The plot was a good improvement over some of the more recent books, but then the author goes and ruins it at the end by killing off a character. If you are attached to anyone in this series, be warned.
