About this listen
On September 11th, 2001, Kris Caldera was a junior member of the CIA's Alec Station, the unit dedicated to finding and stopping Osama Bin Laden. They failed.
Ten days later, he was on the ground in Afghanistan with a Special Forces team. On the battlefield, he meets Special Forces Sergeant David Haddad. David - Arab American, Muslim, and gay - becomes the man Kris loves, the man he lives for, and the man he kills for, through the long years of the raging wars.
When a botched mission rips David from Kris' life, Kris' world falls into ruin and ash.
After being captured, tortured to the edge of his life, and left for dead by his comrades, David doesn't know how much of himself is left. He vanished in the tribal belt of Pakistan, and the man who walks out almost a decade later is someone new: Al Dakhil Al-Khorasani.
Intelligence from multiple sources overseas points to something new. Something deadly, and moving to strike the United States. Intercepts say an army from Khorasan, the land of the dead where the Apocalypse of Islam will rise, is coming. And, at the head of this army, a shadowy figure the US hasn't seen before: Al Dakhil Al-Khorasani.
David is coming home.
Contains mature themes.

CIA and 911
Good action spy story, set against post 911 aftermath. Well drawn characters and enjoyable narration.

tough like really tough
A great book. Did I love it? Maybe? Was it worth the read? Without a doubt. It was hard. Breathtaking. Maddening. Painful. Heartbreaking. Confusing. Everything in between

Amazing story
The twist and turns through this book were fascinating and enthralling. I had to listen to it in stages but always went back to listen to the next stage of their lives. A story spanning a twenty year period is hard to keep fresh, but the author managed to keep it fresh and alive. The culture and real world fixtures was also what brought me back.

The truth is... confronting.
I can't possibly do this book justice. I highly, highly recommend it!
It's such a beautiful love story, but it's so much more than that.
Whisper really challenged my worldview. Particularly my views on war, behavior during times of war, and how to respond to hate/violence when it's directed at you (all of which are questions/realities I live with daily). That the book was inspired by true events made it all the more confronting. There were scenes I struggled to read, ones that had me blubbering like a baby, and others still that left me feeling like I'd been slapped in the face by my own moral failings. Whisper doesn't pull its punches, at all, and I love it for that. The themes it explores are ones that need to be explored. In a world like this, it's too easy to become hardened; to start separating the world into two groups, good guys and monsters (whoever those monsters happen to be); and to lose sight of the fact we're all just people.
I took over a week to read this book (which is a very long time for me). I wanted to properly process everything I was reading, and I recommend that approach with this book. It's too heavy to rush. And it's way to heavy to read while trying to juggle intense life challenges. I recommend reading this book with a tissue box nearby, a comfortingly scented candle burning, and a cup of chamomile tea (and I don't even like chamomile tea!). It will break your heart, REPEATEDLY,

Emotional rollercoaster
Such an amazing story. From the shock of 9/11, the brutality of war zones, the heartbreak of losing your soulmate, the anxiety of stopping the next terror attack in time, and finally the joy of being reunited with your soulmate, this book has it all. This is the second book I’ve read by this author, who is quickly becoming a fave!

Meaningful story of mixed cultures
At time too detailed but always exciting and a real page turner. Kept me on the edge of my seat for hours. Would love to be able to read a sequel to find out how this blended family continued their passion for peace

Brilliant.
Fantastic, heart-rending, absorbing. Long but so worth it. I became emotionally invested in the characters and their story. Wonderful, would definitely recommend.
