About this listen

When you're the best at what you do, it's not always easy to walk away. Nathan McBride was retired. The trained Marine sniper and covert CIA operative had put the violence of his former life behind him. But not anymore. A deep-cover FBI agent has disappeared along with one ton of powerful Semtex explosive, enough to unleash a disaster of international proportions.

The U.S. government has no choice but to coax Nathan out of retirement. He's the only man with the skills necessary to get the job done. But almost as soon as Nathan reluctantly accepts the assignment, he finds himself caught in the middle. On the one side is a ruthless adversary with a blood-chilling plan - and on the other are agents who will stop at nothing to see their own brand of justice done.

I really enjoyed the story, its a good first book. The narrator is a bit disappointing, lots of annoying mouth noises. Will have think whether I can't put up with him as I really want to continue with this series

Fast paced

Although I'm not into military thrillers, I have the audio version of the book so I could listen instead of reading after just having an op. I have given 3* because I felt the McBride is just too full of himself. Can go places and do things that Military and Law Enforces can't do. If I was reading this I think a lot of the writing could have been deleted, too much information on the different areas all the different controls and what they do in the helicopter, type of weapons he prefers, etc bit over the top. The actual storyline was good but overdone in many areas.

Could have read/listen to better
