About this listen

A major new thriller series featuring Ryan Drake - a British CIA agent on his most dangerous mission yet - for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci and Vince Flynn.

Ryan Drake is a man who finds people who don't want to be found. Once a British soldier, he now works for the CIA, leading an elite investigation team that tracks down missing agents. But his latest mission - to free a prisoner, code-named Maras, and bring her back onto US soil within 48 hours - is more dangerous than anything his team has attempted before.

Despite the risks, the team successfully completes their mission, but for Drake the real danger has only just begun. Faced with a terrible threat, he is forced to go on the run with Maras. Hunted by his former comrades, Drake is left with no choice but to trust a dangerous woman he barely knows.

Brilliant

There are a lot of negative reviews here and I suspect the the majority of them are because of the author's YouTube persons "The Critical Drinker". It is an unfortunate result of the times we live in, but don't let them sway you.
If you like good spy thrillers and realistic, deep, and flawed characters then this is for you. There were moments in this story that had my full attention to the point of barely moving when I was supposed to be doing housework and listening at the same time. I found myself standing for minutes on end, fully immersed in the story, driven to distraction and oblivious to anything else. There aren't many authors that can get that kind of reaction from me. Truly heart-pounding at times. This is an excellent story and well worth your time.

Fine if a bit predictable and unremarkable within its genre

Not a bad book, but I hope the second in the series ups it’s game.

Captivating and engaging

Unlike almost any book I’ve ever listen to, this particular story was enhanced by the narrators unique ability to portray extremely different and unique voices. while I look forward to listing to more books by this author, I will certainly be keeping my eye out for any books with the same narrator.

Quality action

Smart linear writing, good character arcs and non stop action and final scene chimes in to the title. Rock solid, a rollicking good read, nice work Drinker…

Excellent story Excellent Narration

The Author wrote an excellent story and the Narrator was excellent, perfect for this story.
This book is probably closer to fact than fiction.

Disappointing

The men characters are pussies and the women are arrogant bastards.
Same same story line like just about every other book of its type except worse.
The writers advice, “to show, not tell” needs to be applied here. Maybe the series gets better but I will never know.

hard pass

I couldn't finish it. The story is so cliche and the accents and voices used by the narrator are almost comical.
