About this listen

“It wasn’t like breaking into a prison was on my bucket list. But then again, neither was helping terrorists stage a jailbreak. And yet, here I was.”

A prison break. Betrayals. Battle for survival. September 2014. Yemen’s going up in flames, and Americans are caught in the inferno. Delta Force Captain Axel Blaze is sent straight into the fire to extract Khalid Al-Mansour, an Al-Qaeda moneyman turned informant. Khalid promises intel that could save American lives, but it comes at a price— his sons must be rescued from a rebel-controlled prison deep in hostile territory.

Blaze’s team pulls off the high-risk breakout, but the fallout is deadly. A chain of betrayals is set off. One of Khalid’s sons turns traitor, leading Al-Qaeda right to the US embassy. Trapped, outnumbered, and fighting on hostile ground, Blaze and his team face a ruthless enemy and impossible odds. But this isn’t just about survival—this is about sending a message.

Blaze won’t just hold the line—he’ll blow the enemy to hell.

Crossfire doesn’t waste a second. It’s a fast, brutal, emotionally charged ride through the fires of war and loyalty. I loved how Bill Runner doesn’t just focus on explosions and combat—he also explores what it costs to be a soldier. Blaze’s inner conflicts make the story even stronger. When the embassy is surrounded and all hope seems lost, the tension is unbearable. James D. Sasser’s narration keeps every moment alive and raw. This is military fiction done right—loud, real, and unforgettable.

Listened straight through in one day. Between the breakouts, betrayals, and final siege, I couldn’t hit pause. Blaze is tough, but human. Great narration, clean production, and a story that kicks hard.
