The Council of Ten

De: Jon Land

Narrado por: Lance Axt

When his drug-smuggling grandmother is murdered for informing on her employers, a journalist takes justice into his own hands.

Four old women return from a Bahamas vacation with four more suitcases than they had when they left. They leave them behind at baggage claim, and a stranger picks them up - disappearing with the extra suitcases and the hundreds of pounds of cocaine they hold. The grandmothers are smugglers, supplementing their social security with criminal income, but one of them is tired of the deception. She goes to the DEA to inform on her employer, a vicious drug lord named Trelana, and when he learns she has snitched her age does not buy mercy.

Her grandson, Drew Jordan, is a journalist with fantasies of life as a commando. Now it’s up to him to avenge the woman who raised him, and he will have vengeance even if the whole of the international drug trade stands in his way.

Good and interesting

Good story line makes sense not to unbelievable makes for a good listen
I recommend

great read

loved it...gripping...held my attention and the rolling of it equally captivating...thank you


what's next is it a series

fast moving

The story begins with loving grandmothers and builds from there to world domination and control. Who would have imagined? The narrator was exceptional. He took a complex storyline and kept it intriguing. Awesome.

Confusing

The story started off well, then became confusing, convoluted, chaotic, unbelievable “hero” and outrageous. Not impressed.

Absolutely ridiculous

There is no chance that anything that happens in this book of any significance would happen in real life. While it’s entertaining in spots, you also have to suffer through some very bad writing and clunky narration.
