Threat Axis

Command and Control, Book 4

De: David Bruns, J.R. Olson

Narrado por: Steve Rausch

In the midst of a global manhunt, the leader of the world's largest private army sees his opportunity to upset the international order.

Ian Thomas is supposed to be dead. An international terrorist responsible for the bombing of the US Naval War College, he's been deceased for three years. But Don Riley, head of the CIA’s Emerging Threats Group, is staring at a social media post showing him to be very much alive and on the run in South America. The video of Thomas sparks a global hunt: The Americans want to bring him to justice. The Chinese want him to disappear. And the Russians want to kill him very, very slowly.

But the world's most powerful nations aren't the only ones pursuing the most wanted man on the planet. The manhunt attracts an uninvited player: Sentinel Holdings, the largest private military contractor in the world. Helmed by ruthless CEO Manson Skelly, Sentinel's lethal capabilities rival those of most countries. Sensing an opportunity to secure his place as a player on the world stage, Skelly uses his superior tech and global assets to insert himself into the chase...with catastrophic results.

Now, Skelly has decided that the international order is up for grabs, and Don Riley will need help from all the wrong places to stop him—before it’s too late.

Threat Axis is the fourth book in an explosive series co-written by former submarine officer David Bruns and retired naval intelligence officer J.R. Olson. Packed with heart-stopping action, ripped from the headlines combat scenes, and thrilling twists, this military techno-thriller is a must-listen for fans of Tom Clancy and Mark Greaney.

story subject

the thrill of the story and the voice whom had told it. thank you very much

hope this is a longer series

I hope this is a longer series. The character's are type to hang around a while. please.

Great book

This book is a great addition to this fantastic series. I love how it tries to wrap everything up, but still leaves it open for another sequel. The reader did amazing job like on all the other books in this series would highly recommend.

Little too predictable

Story not as mesmerizing as previous books. Character development requires previous knowledge. Finishes this storyline???

Threat Axis

Excellent series ending! Gripping and engrossing story by the authors. More stories like this please! Mr Rausch also was perfect for narrating this story.

Series losing steam

I can't imagine a US Submarine Captain even considering allowing a foreign power to board and search a US sub. With that said I can't imagine a Chinese Submarine Captain actually carrying out the threat of sinking a US Submarine without restarting the war from a previous book. Too many instances of implausible situations for my liking. Finally, some of the character voices sounded like they came straight from South Park. South Park is at least funny. These were just annoying.

Horrible Ending

I enjoyed most of the book. The story is overall OK. The ending is a very big disappointment.

Not as great

The previous two books were better stories. I felt this was a weaker attempt to add another book to the series.
