The Instructor

A Derek Harrington Novel

De: T. R. Hendricks

Narrado por: Jay Snyder

Dive into The Instructor, former Army intelligence officer T. R. Hendricks' fast paced, action-packed debut thriller that's Jack Reacher meets Survivorman, the first novel in the Derek Harrington series!

“Packed with action, tension, and humanity, The Instructor delivers.”—Mark Greaney, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Burner, a Gray Man Novel

Derek Harrington, retired Marine Force Recon and SERE instructor, is barely scraping by teaching the basics of wilderness survival. His fledgling bushcraft school is on the cusp of going out of business and expenses are piling up fast. His only true mission these days? To get his ailing father into a full care facility and to support his ex-wife and their son.

When one of his students presents him with an opportunity too good to be true—$20,000 to instruct a private group for 30 days in upstate New York—Derek reluctantly takes the job, despite his reservations about the group's insistence on anonymity. But it isn't long before the training takes an unexpected turn—and a new offer is made.

Reaching out to an FBI contact to sound his concerns, Derek soon finds himself in deep cover, deep in the woods, embroiled with a fringe group led by a charismatic leader who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. When what he wants becomes Derek's head, the teacher is pitted against his students as Derek races against time to stop what could very well be the first attack of a domestic terrorist cell.

“A pulse-pounding thriller. . . Hendricks delivers on all cylinders!”—Simon Gervais, former RCMP counterterrorism officer and bestselling author of The Last Protector

Awesome book

What can I say, Jay Snyder did a awesome job with this book. Never can go wrong with Jay Snyder doing a special operation boom. Story was awesome! I couldn't put the book down. It was exciting and thrilling and well worth it. Can't wait for the next book, going to be a epic series.

Wow!!

Not only did I read the book I listened to it as well! Incredibly written, with well thought out characters, Witt, and that feeling of I need to keep reading! Absolutely a page turner as well as an enjoyable audible! You don’t know who to love, who to hate, it truly keeps you on your toes! Can’t wait for T.R’s next book!! I need to know all the things about Derek!!

Unique writing style and capturing story

Fantastic story that’s always making you want to know what’s happening next. The twist was wildly unexpected and it makes me super excited to read the next book. The present tense writing is different and enjoyable. I’m very happy to have found this series and I hope it continues even with Hendricks writing for the Tom Clancy series.

Great story telling book

TR Hendrix wrote a winner here. I enjoyed getting to know the character Derek and I’m looking forward to ordering the next book already. The book was engaging and believable, keeping you on the edge of your seat while listening.

It kept me interested for the entirety of the book.

It felt more like the narration of a comic book than it did a novel. The story and the narration were a bit too affected.

Great "read". Great "story". Great "narration"

Narrator was even better. Now I have an alternative to R.C. Bray occasionally. The escape from capture near the "reckoning" might have been a bit intense as compared to appropriate dips into reality occasionally done so well before that. Well worth the time.

Excellent start to my new favorite series!

Loved the characters, I liked the level of technical detail, not so much that is sounds like a subliminal ad for a company, and not so high level that it sounds elementary- it has just the level needed for a great story!
Outstanding job again by Jay Snyder!! My favorite narrator.
Please get book 2 done - can’t wait for its release.
And thank you for the awesome entertainment!

Seriously GOOD!!

Wow! This was an amazing story with an even better lead in to a blockbuster series to come and my only negative statement would relate to having to wait for more!

Narration was fantastic and Jay Snyder is a narrator I follow and that’s how I found this book. Keep up the good work and don’t late too long for books 2,3,4,5,6,7, 8, 9 etc etc etc!

good mix of tale and tactics

character was interesting and relatable. the story had good twists and turns.
narrator performed very well.
author must have been in the army before becoming a writer.
he's a good writer and should keep doing it!
I'm looking forward to the next in the series!

Excellent across-the-board

The narrator, Jay Snyder, can make the phonebook sound interesting. However, this was a great new protagonist and storyline. Look forward to future additions.
