Whiskey & Roses

The Xander King Series, Book 1

De: Bradley Wright

Narrado por: Adam Verner

The Navy SEALs trained him. The CIA wants him. America needs him. Start the journey with a man hell-bent on revenge, but destined for so much more....

Imagine Mitch Rapp meets James Bond.

The world knows him as a handsome, charismatic, and successful young businessman. The CIA knows Xander as the US military's most legendary soldier, turned vigilante assassin, who sharpens his skills in the shadows until he can exact revenge on the monster that murdered his family. They have watched his double life go on long enough, and now the government wants their weapon back. Xander has different plans.

After a passionate night with Hollywood sweetheart Natalie Rockwell is violently interrupted by a surprise attack at Xander's home, those plans are set in motion. Xander's experts say it's suicide, but with the CIA closing in, he must sidestep them and take the fight directly to his rival. With unlimited resources and unimaginable skills, Xander's enemy will need an army to survive his wrath. Turns out, that's precisely what he has. This is no longer just about revenge, this is war.

If you enjoy Brad Thor, Daniel Silva, David Baldacci, Lee Child, Tom Clancy, Stuart Woods, Nelson DeMille, Ken Follett, Vince Flynn, James Patterson, Tim Tigner, or Clive Cussler, my fans believe you'll have a blast listening to my books as well.

Not quite sure yet.

Might be worth one more book to determine if the series is worth investing more time in.

Narrator

I didn’t like the way narrator’s voice and inflections. I speeded it up so I could tolerate it. Good book other than that.

Great story

I loved the characters . The story line was superb . I. Will read all the Alexander King stories. Hope the author keeps the story going in years to come!

Great storyline, excellent characters!

The author has written a fantastic novel full of action and intrigue! Looking forward to more from him! The narration is superb!

Damn good!

If you like Mitch Rapp, The Grey Man, Jack Carr, etc… you’ll love this series!

Bad narration

Literally the worst narration I have ever heard. This guy should be reading a self help book and certainly not thrilled. The men that are supposed to be hard killers all sound like they are nerdy high schoolers. Having said that after listing to the Alexander King books which are a thousand times better, it’s worth listening to just to get the back story. The narrator for those books is very good. The writing of the Alexander King books is also way better.

Possibly the worst narrated book

I love the Alexander King series books, but the narrator for this book is just the worst. He has no idea how to read a CIA adventure book series. Narration sounds like a bedtime story with every sentence ending in a whisper tone. As far as the story, it is a good background to the Alexander King series.

Bad reader

The story is a little lame, but that's easily over looked. My problem is the reader, he makes the characters sound like Yogi & Boobo Bear. I'd like to read the 2nd book but not if read by the same reader. I almost didn't finish this book the reader was so annoying.

Narrator

Not crazy about the narrator . I like the narrator in later books. The story is great .

love this series but Verner almost ruins this

I like this series alot but Adam Verner needs to find a different delivery good grief...
