A stunning new espionage book by a master of the genre, Beirut Station follows a young female CIA officer whose mission to assassinate a high-level Hezbollah terrorist reveals a dark truth that puts her life at risk.

Lebanon, 2006. The Israel–Hezbollah war is tearing Beirut apart and the country is on the brink of chaos.

The CIA and Mossad are targeting a reclusive Hezbollah terrorist. They turn to young Lebanese-American CIA agent, Analise, who has the perfect plan. However, Analise begins to suspect that Mossad has a motive of its own.

She alerts the agency but their response is for her to drop it. Analise is now the target and there is no one she can trust.

A tightly-wound international thriller, Beirut Station is Paul Vidich's best book to date.©2024 Paul Vidich (P)2024 W.F. Howes Ltd. Crime Fiction Espionage International Mystery & Crime Mystery Spies & Politics Thriller & Suspense Middle East Iran

I have no idea whether this is a good book or not. The narration sounds like a reading of the words with no empathy for what may well be an interesting set of characters, The monotone description of a beheading was the last straw. We gave in at that point.

Terrible narration

The presenter read the book like she has been at work all day and was asked to her shopping list.

There was a part where the main character was about to be shot and I didn’t notice.

Was it AI?

Good story

It was hard to engage with the story as the narrator was so awful; no characterisation attempted or change in tone when different characters were speaking. One of the worst narrators I’ve heard. Such a shame because I have enjoyed previous books by Paul Vidich and I’ll certainly seek out others - but I’ll check who the narrator is first.

Very flat or monotone performance made it quite difficult to figure out which character was meant to be speaking during any conversation.

Not a bad story but hard to listen to

The story maybe really good but it’s impossible to tell with this narration. A dull single paced monotone which means you have little idea who is saying what & there is no sense of drama or excitement. Avoid

The narration is terrible
