About this listen

A shocking act of sabotage draws a retired spy into a deadly conspiracy in an explosive thriller by an Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestselling author.

After three decades in counterintelligence, Brad Trasker is retired, disillusioned, and dealing with a tragic loss. Spy games are behind him until he attends the launch of a next-generation aircraft. When the project of innovative aerospace CEO Kylie Connor explodes on the tarmac—nearly killing her in the process—Trasker is pulled back into the line of fire.

The mystery of the sabotage quickly deepens. All Kylie’s data has been wiped from the server. One of her engineers has disappeared. A seed investor has died in a suspicious car accident. And a cold-blooded murder raises the stakes even higher.

To discover who’s pulling the strings behind a dangerous conspiracy, Trasker needs to find a motive. Corporate espionage, revenge, or something he can’t yet see? Targeted by assassins, he finds himself overmatched when he realizes he can’t trust anyone—including Kylie. Too long out of a game he no longer understands, Trasker must adapt or die.

Good narration. Nicely drawn characters, especially enjoyed the assorted moral compasses. The use of a memory device (new to this reader) was both confusing and clarifying. It might have worked better for me if I had been reading rather than listening. I liked the book well enough to read another from this author.

Lots of Twists

I have listened to a few of Andrew Mayne’s books and this was my favourite.
It is an intelligent, highly engaging listen which is well narrated.
I hope he follows it up with a second.

A really excellent book.
