About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

He's America's most brilliant president ever. He's also a psychopath.

US president Keegan Barrett swept into office on his success as director of the CIA. Six months into his first term, he devises a clandestine power grab with a deadly motive: Revenge.

President Barrett personally orders Special Agents Liam Grey and Noa Himel to execute his plan, but their loyalties are divided. As CIA agents they've sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all threats, both foreign and domestic.

When the threat comes directly from the Oval Office, that's where the blowback begins.

Pulp. Truth is currently stranger or at least more compelling and thrilling than this weak fiction.

Meh!

The Story was well presented and well read not over docmented with facts you dont put in a story ?

The fact that this could so easy happen and the people would know nothing about it ? Boom

An enjoyable overall story. A good pace and well read. A little unnecessary to introduce the character every chapter and with 150+ chapters it was just too much.

Enjoyable story at good pace

Good yarn, but uncomfortably thought-provoking. Builds up slowly at first but increasingly compelling and meant an awful lot of life got put on hold!

Good yarn

Really great narration and performance. Great story as well, kept me interested for most of the book. A big thumbs up!
