Summary
The University has been a clandestine organization since the days of the OSS. The University and its agents have always lived in the shadows, using its vast intelligence resources to help defeat the Nazis, end the Cold War, and strike back at terrorists all over the globe. They have been at the forefront of global espionage for decades.
Entrusted with running The University, James Hicks is one of the most powerful - and secretive - men alive. But when Hicks' brilliant protégé is turned by a terrorist group that has alarmingly already begun operating on US soil, Hicks finds himself in a race against time to find out just how the agent has been turned and why. He must use The University's covert global network to uncover a deadly biological plot that threatens to unleash a new era of chaos and anarchy not only on the United States but on the entire Western world.

What a cracker.
Most excellent ripping yarn! Great narration, good storyline. I'm going to get the sequel even though it's a credit.....which is why, I guess, this one is free!

Great narator, as always.
The story and the plot are pretty much run of the mill secret agencies story. If it wasn't narated by Jonathan Davis I would have probably returned the book, but Mr. Davis is so good that I could listen to him read a phone book and enjoy it.

the war on terrorism continues.
A very good and plausible plot. We have to hope that there are real men like Hicks to keep us safe from terror attacks. Sleep safely!

Spooks…..
This listen was not my usual choice as always find American heroes a bit over the top, but I liked the lead character, and the narration was excellent.
Good story about the very up to date threats to our world. Would listen to this author again.

Very slow - too much trade craft
This was a book that had a lot of potential but in the end for me was just to slow to get going. I struggled to get through about half of the book but was disappointed in how little of actual plot had even been revealed. All that had happened was an initial recruitment, a betrayal and then the hints of the main plot of Arab terrorist that needed to be contacted. The story moved along at slow pace, with every bit of trade craft exhibited by Hicks is explained in detail, which slows everything down. It is not helped that the narration was softly spoken and made it difficult to maintain interest.
I think it's safe to say that I will not be seeking out another McCauley novel in the future. It may well suit some people it just wasn't for me.
