Publisher's Summary:

Before this group strikes again, Jason Richter is called in with his top-secret high-tech military unit, code-named Task Force TALON. Richter believes there is only one strategy with which to snare his opponents: find, pursue, engage, and kill. And the only way to do this is to beat them at their own game: be unconventional, swift, and brutal enough to strike fear into the hearts of the most dedicated terrorist. Richter must also uncover a mole high-up within the government, who is in pursuit of his own personal revenge.

If Richter fails, it won't be just the lives of his team that are lost, but America itself.

Love Dan Brown, but Declined to Purchase

This is the third time now that I have gotten hooked on an authors work only to find that his/her subsequent books are available at Audible only in abridged editions. I for one do not like abridgements. They often are so poorly done I loose the sense of the story. Might as well wait until it comes out in the movies and get a butchered up video version of the novel.

Don't Bother

The plot was thin, predictable, hard to relate to and downright silly at times. It's a pity to see the author of Fight of the Old Dog and the subsequent Dreamland series of novels putting out such drivel. I guess he needs to keep the income flowing despite the fact that the ideas have obviously dried up.

Unabridged, why bother?

Unabridged versions are a total waste of time, akin to reading an outline for a book report!

great book

brilliantly read and dale brown at his best.all the aviation action you could ever wish for.five stars out of five.highly recommended.

Disappointing

I expected a fast-paced thriller but this one just didn't engage me.

The basis of the plot is Robocop meets the War on Terror and it simply lacks credibility.

The characters don't develop enough to engage so you are left feeling, 'So what?'

I was more relieved than anything when I got to the end.

Title: Fade

Author: Kyle Mills

Narrator: Holter Graham

Format: Abridged

Length: 4 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-20-05

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 85 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

Now he's walking around with a bullet lodged near his spine, and he's not too fond of anyone in the government, least of all, his ex-best friend Matt Egan, whom he blames for his present condition. Against Egan's wishes, the director tries to "persuade" Fade to join the team. But Fade is prepared to fight back at any cost. The chase is on. Will Matt be able to find his friend-turned-fugitive before Fade can take the ultimate revenge?

Fade is a remarkable, take-no-prisoners program from an unparalleled writer at the height of his talents.

Great Listen

I enjoyed this book. It is the first fiction title I've listened to, in a while, that I actually finished. The characters were distinct and interesting, the story entertaining and well told. In my opinion, many modern fiction novels I've downloaded haven't been able to keep my interest. I felt they were too negative, too full of gratuitous profanity, dark in mood and low in action. Maybe it's me but I tire of stories with dark tones and full of preachy new age philosophies. I just want a decent story and don't want to feel depressed after listening to a book. Well crafted stories, even with violence, can have an up tone and this book delivers. Fade gives you great characters, plenty of action, it keeps moving and keeps you listening. You care about the characters, want to know what happens next and everything is tied up in the end. It's a fun listen, not too deep and the story is told so you can keep up with what's happening: you won't get lost with too many characters. I don't want to spoil the plot. I'll end by saying this book is well written for audio and I found myself wishing it wouldn't end and wishing that this author had more books available on audible.

Just okay ...

I bought this book because I had been impressed with Mills' work on the Mitch Rapp series and wanted to read a novel that was all this author, from conception to completion.

The novel has a great setup, SEAL assassin turned hermit with a debilitating 'slow death' injury gets caught up in a (was it CIA?) recruitment plot gone wrong and fights his way out with sharp skills and a blonde bombshell police-chick sidekick by his side. However, all that promise is lost in snappy, out of place dialogue that makes the main character more corny than compelling and the author spending more time inside the head of the story's nemesis than that of our hero for the last 70% of the story. The whole thing then ends abruptly with a Wikileaks styled data dump, a lazy way to climax the story.

Mills can write but this was disappointing.

Suspenseful, well written and well narrated

Would you listen to Fade again? Why?

Probably not but possibly.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Matt Egan as the main protagonist

Which character as performed by Holter Graham was your favorite?

Matt Egan

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Watch Me!

Any additional comments?

As expected, Holter Graham does an excellent job in narrating an interesting story.

Title: Queen's Ransom

Author: Fiona Buckley

Narrator: Nadia May

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-24-05

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 100 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

This tale of murder, treason, treasure, and passion effortlessly and accurately conveys the high treason of the court of young Queen Elizabeth I.

Critic Reviews:

"Buckley stands out for the attention and skill she brings not only to suspenseful plotting but to the setting that supports it." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Nadia May is FABULOUS

I must disagree with the earlier reviewer panning Ms. May's narration. I had absolutely the opposite reaction. To my mind, she makes the book come alive. In fact she and Donata Peters are among my very favorite narrators.

Enjoyable

I also disagree with the comments about the narrator. I like Nadia May very much. I listened to the first two and when I read this review before downloading this one, I was concerned that maybe the narrator had been changed based on the negative comments. I was relieved to find she is the same narrator. I like the series and would have been disappointed with another voice.

Fun

This was a fun read. Ursula is supported by an unusually strong group of characters. There are adventures in several countries, the return of Matthew, and some resolution to the problems between Ursula and her father in law.

interesting listening

This book is full of twists and turns. It was really good. I hope audible brings the whole series of this character Mistress Blanchard for audible listeners

Enjoyable

I enjoyed the four books by Fiona Buckley that have been converted to audio format and hope the rest of the series will follow.

Nadia May was an excellent narrator. I listened to four books in four days, which I cannot do with all narrators. The only other narrator I like so well is James Marsters

Title: At Risk

Author: Stella Rimington

Narrator: Jennifer McMahon

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-27-05

Publisher: Books on Tape

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 49 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

For Liz Carlyle, MI5, this report marks the start of an operation that will test her as no other has. Time is of the essence in this desperate search and it becomes clear that Liz's intuitive skills and her ability to get inside her enemy's head will offer the only hope of averting disaster, even as her own life is put into jeopardy.

Critic Reviews:

"Rimington speaks smartly about workplace issues while ratcheting the tension high in her authoritative debut thriller....It doesn't get more exciting than this." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Gripping - Excellent Narration

Rimington's experience as top "spook" makes this a gripping, if a bit disjointed story. It's a bit slow to get going but gathers pace to a thrilling and unexpected conclusion.

My greatest disappointment was to find that Jennifer McMahon does not narrate Stella's other works - in fact she is listed as narrator for only two other books. McMahon's narration is delightful and her characterisation excellent - quite the best I've heard. Please Audible, give us more Jennifer McMahon!

Plots within plots, exciting and suspenseful

This book was fantastic! The ending a bit unexpected and the plots within plots that unfolded were exceedingly tangled and interesting. Learning the names and functions of the various British government agencies and roles takes some attention to detail for the uninitiated but is well worth the effort.

The author is a former Director General in the British Security Service (MI5) who writes novels relating to that setting with particular attention to counter-subversion, counter-espionage and counter-terrorism.

This book is the first in a series that follows the career of Liz Carlyle, a fictional (of course) employee of MI5. The book is exciting, interesting, adventurous, funny, a bit scary, detailed, and suspenseful, with an interesting mixture of subtle and not so subtle characters. The narrator, Jennifer McMahon, reads beautifully, using a convincing range of accents.

If you like thrillers, suspense, or crime novels, or any of that sort of thing, read this book. Or, get the audiobook from audible.com. It has an excellent narrator.

Rimington is the BEST!

Only three of the six (soon to be seven) Rimington thrillers are on audible. I can't wait til they are all recorded. Rimington, former director general of MI-5--Britain's CIA--writes realistic and modern spy thrillers that are the best I've ever read.

Too many characters to keep straight.

This is a solid and interesting story line with a good twist at the end. The ending was abrupt and I had to listen again to make sure I understood the conclusion.There are too many characters and names to remember in this story. Perhaps it would be easier to follow if I actually read the book, rather than listening to it.

Title: By Order of the President

Author: W. E. B. Griffin

Narrator: Dennis Boutsikaris

Format: Abridged

Length: 7 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-21-05

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 196 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

At an airfield in Angola, two men board a leased Boeing 727; then, once it is in the air, slit the pilot's throat and fly to parts unknown. The consternation is immediate, as the CIA, FBI, FAA, and other agencies race to find out what has happened, in the process elbowing each other in the sides a little too vigorously.

Fed up, the President of the United States turns to an outside investigator, an Army intelligence officer serving as special assistant to the Director of Homeland Security, to determine the truth. Major Carlos Guillermo Castillo, known as Charley, is the son of a German mother and a Tex-Mex father, a Medal of Honor winner who died in Vietnam. A pilot, West Point graduate, and veteran of Desert Storm and the Special Forces, Castillo has a sharp eye for the facts and the reality behind the facts. Traveling undercover, he flies to Africa, and there, helped and hindered by unexpected allies and determined enemies, begins to untangle a story of frightening dimensions, a story that, unless he can do something about it, will end very, very badly.

Critic Reviews:

"Proving himself solidly in control of cutting-edge military material, Griffin bases his new series not on wars past but on today's murky exigencies of terrorism and international political intrigue." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Great Griffin!!

I have always liked W.E.B. Griffin's books. I am happy to see them in audible. Would like to see the unabridged editions. Once you get a handle on the characters the books become more fun. His detail and military knowledge are a compelling part of the books. Although the characters are somewhat "super hero", why not? This is what makes the books fun to read. I think this kind of support for our military is just what public the needs to characterize the men and women who fight and die for this country. I hope this is the beginning of a long series of books with these characters.

Finally Giffin

I wait restlessly for each new Griffin book, wishing that he would write more than one a year. I just wish Audible would get the unabridged versions of his 9 books each in his Army and Marine Corps series, and 7 in his two series about the OSS. They are all worth re-reading each time a new book comes out in the series. This is the only author whose books I re-read on a regular basis and would enjoy listening to over and over again.

Great Griffin

I truly enjoy all of Griffin's books. In particular the OSS and earlier series. This was another good book by this author. Audible needs to get his other works and allow its users to experience more great writing by this author. As a man in his mid-30s, I know very little about most of the historical events that Griffin covers in his books and this only adds to the interest I find in his books. I find his books are very similar in interest and readability as those by Nelson DeMille. Another very good historical fiction book.

Don't order,

Great writer. Great book. Terrible abridgement-- so awkward in fact that it leaves you wondering how is it that the 12 year old Castillo, who's father was killed in Vietnam is united with his family AFTER 9/11. Ulitmately the timeline is cleared up on disk II but it left me so frustrated that I used the last five disks of this set as Frisbees. Wheeeeee!

Audible-- get the unabridged set, please!

Typical Griffin

I have enjoyed Mr.

Publisher's Summary:

Backman is quietly smuggled out of the country in a military cargo plane, given a new name, a new identity, and a new home in Italy. Eventually, after he has settled into his new life, the CIA will leak his whereabouts to the Israelis, the Russians, the Chinese, and the Saudis. Then the CIA will do what it does best: sit back and watch. The question is not whether Backman will survive, there is no chance of that. The question the CIA needs answered is, who will kill him?

Critic Reviews:

"The spy-versus-spy intrigue is well constructed and fast paced." (The New York Times Book Review)

Members Reviews:

Best Grisham to date!

I have listened to or read every Grisham book available and I like them all. Somehow the author manages to make the listener get giddy with excitement about the most menial tasks. This book is no exception, the story deviates slightly from the usual 'main character is a lawyer' premise but does so for the better. This is by far the most addictive Grisham title to date.

Better than Most

This Grisham book was better than most. Grisham again returns to the same themes that made his other books sell: lawyers are rotten people. He takes it and runs with another theme: The CIA are rotten people. Grisham puts you in the position of cheering for the criminal class underdog lawyer, and you still feel good about it. It is an enjoyable listen, and I recommend it.

Entertaining--and an Italian travelogue as a bonus

It's not LeCarre, but it's good spy stuff. The Italian settings, food, and language lessons all made me want to go.

It's a good read, and well narrated.

Great read, one of Grisham's best!

I have read all of John Grisham's books and a only a few have been disappointing..well this is not one of them. The main character is extremely well written and one wonders if Grisham based it on someone he knew. The setting is Italy with all the color and flavor one can imagine.

We follow the main character as he tries not only to outwit the CIA but also to stay alive when all parties concerned wish him dead. Like the character in "The Street Lawyer" this guy is out on a limb and everyone he meets has a saw in their hands!

Very fast paced and entertaining.

Grisham Great book

Great Story, I could not put it down.

Title: Absolute Friends

Author: John le Carré

Narrator: John le Carré

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-23-04

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 99 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

Today, Mundy is a down-at-heel tour guide in southern Germany, dodging creditors, supporting a new family, and keeping an eye out for trouble while in spare moments vigorously questioning the actions of the country he once bravely served.

And trouble finds him, as it has before, in the shape of his old German student friend, radical, and one-time fellow spy, the crippled Sasha, seeker after absolutes, dreamer, and chaos addict.

After years of trawling the Middle East and Asia as an itinerant university lecturer, Sasha has yet again discovered the true, the only, answer to life, this time in the form of a mysterious billionaire philanthropist named Dimitri. Thanks to Dimitri, both Mundy and Sasha will find a path out of poverty, and with it their chance to change a world that both believe is going to the devil. Or will they?

Critic Reviews:

"John le Carre never, ever phones it in....He's an old pro with the ardent heart of an amateur, which is why...he is still capable of producing a novel as odd, as ungainly, and as compelling as Absolute Friends....Fans...will be happy to learn that he returns here to his old cold war stomping grounds." (The New York Times Book Review)

"Seamless abridgement. No one reads le Carre better than le Carre. His nuances, accents, and inflections are as brilliantly precise as his prose." (Publishers Weekly)

"Le Carre brings his superb reading talents - sonorous, cultured voice; gift for accents; deft expressiveness - to the story of Ted Mundy, a fumbling, well-meaning Brit....He is simply one of the best author readers there is." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Le Carre has a point of view

I suppose John Le Carre could write a bad book. I just never have read one. He also is a superior reader and/or actor.

What seems to be different about "Absolute Friends" is that instead of world- weary agents with murky allegiances more contingent on place of birth and chance, this book, in the end, has a passionate point of view. One that many fans of Le Carre may disagree with. Well, I can personally read about spies without becoming one. Highly recommended.

The Master is Back

I have never enjoyed an audio book more! This is a magnificent and timely tale reminiscent of A Small Town in Germany or Le Carre's other earlier works. It is deeply rooted in the cold war, yet quite contemporary, bridging the gap from the Berlin Wall to the current conflict in Baghdad.

The abridged version no doubt comes at the cost of some of the protagonist's more introspective self-examination, though the characters remain complex, human and compelling. And what a treat to have the author narrating. His reading adds a great deal to the authenticity and enjoyment of the novel.

Despite passages such as:

"The easiest and cheapest trick for any leader is to take his country to war on false pretenses," spoken by the book?s hero Mundy, Le Carre is quite even handed in his disdain for the entire cast of global players.

As with so many of Le Carre's imperfect characters, our "perfect friends" follow their highest ideals into the self serving world of political intrigue and the seedy realities of global greed. For those readers who shallowly declare that the book is an indictment on the West, listen more closely.

Critic Reviews:

"In this fast-paced, plausible tale, Brown blurs the line between good and evil enough to delight patriots and paranoids alike." (Publishers Weekly)

"Digital Fortress is the best and most realistic techno-thriller to reach the market in years....A chilling thrill a minute." (The Midwest Book Review)

"Exciting...will rivet cyber-minded readers." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Many inaccuracies

Just like Divinci code the inaccuracies were very distracting. Dan Brown couldn't even get the difference between Bits and Bytes. He talks about a 64 Bit "pass key" inscribed on the ring and then soon after refers to it as a 64 character "pass key" (should have said 8 characters to be even plausible). It really makes me believe the folks that are starting to write books about the inaccuracies of Divinci Code.

POOR NARATION

Book is good it is the naration that is horrible, the narator talks with a lisp and distracts from the book. I not stand the constant S's added to every word HATE THE NARATOR

Clever Book

Keeps you interested from beginning to end.

The narrator should consider a typing job.....

As far as the quality of the audiobook itself, the narrator of this title shold be fired and given a job in a field that does not require speaking. My opinion is that the story, thin as it is, is ruined by the narrator and his lack of ability to adquately portray each charachter. At times, the sound of his voice made the book seem endless. Only sheer force of will kept me listening. The story is decent, if thin. There is so much more that could have been done with it. Easily identified as one of Dan Brown's earlier books. Nowhere near the depth of The Da Vinci Code.

Just Plain Stupid

Awful plot, awful writing, an incredible waste of time. After reading DiVinci, I expected much more from Brown. But, then again, I liked the DiVinci story but was unimpressed with the writing, so maybe I should have known.

Title: The Sisters

Author: Robert Littell

Narrator: Scott Brick

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-03-03

Publisher: Phoenix Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 306 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

In what Christopher Lehmann-Haupt of The New York Times called "the plot of plots", Robert Littell has created the CIA "legends" Francis and Carroll - dubbed "The Sisters Death and Night" by their cohorts. But few know what these enigmatic and extremely dangerous operatives do. They plot - and they're plotting the perfect crime. They've located the perfect pawn, the Potter, the exiled ex-head of the KGB sleeper school - and, with artful deception, the Sisters coerce him into betraying his last and best sleeper, the man he considers his son. Once awakened, this sleeper, an assassin living secretly in the US, will launch a mission of death - unless the Potter, in a desperate race against time, can stop his protegé from committing the Sisters' perfect and world-shattering crime.

Critic Reviews:

"Right up there with the novels of Le Carré, Deighton, and the rest of the best." (People)

"As slick a thriller as they come.... Very, very good." (The New York Times Book Review)

"Deft.... Different. Entertaining.... Engaging." (Newsweek)

Members Reviews:

Littell Light

Sisters is not as good as other Littell novels. Nevertheless, in my opinion he is the best writer of the genre and his worst novel trounces the competition from other writers.

The story is set in the 1960's. The anti-heroes are two old bachelor CIA operatives with symbiotic minds. One sees the forest and one sees only the trees. They finish one another?s sentences and one another?s thoughts. When one is stuck, the other has a ready solution. They are called the Sisters (a title that has nothing to do with their sexual orientation, since, for many years, they have both been too obsessed with intelligence work and double think to think of sex.)

Within the agency, they are known to be somewhat strange, but are kept around, nevertheless, because they are occasionally brilliant.

They both believe that the battle between the United States and the Soviet Union is at a decision point and on this point hangs either civilization and freedom or barbarism and slavery.

So, with the presumed blessing of their superiors, they put their heads together to commit the perfect crime. How? They reason that if they can discover the identity of a Soviet agent in deep cover (a sleeper), hijack him, and control his mission, the crime can not be traced to the Sisters of the CIA.

That takes you through the first ten minutes.

The character development is very good. The twists and turns are good, but not as good as in other Littell novels. The ending has a twist (of course) but is not as ambiguous as Littell?s other novels. I recommend Sisters after you have listened to or read Littell?s other novels. The others are better, but Sisters is worth the read.

It's not The Company, but worth a listen.

After spending 40 hours on The Company, another book by Littell read by Brick is like a visit with old friends. You'll find, however, that this is an darker and twistier adventure, with characters that are more flawed and morally ambiguous.

Title: The Teeth of the Tiger

Author: Tom Clancy

Narrator: Stephen Lang

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 282 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

The first is Dominic Caruso, a rookie FBI agent, barely a year out of Quantico, whose decisive actions resolve a particularly brutal kidnap/murder case. The second is Caruso's brother, Brian, a Marine captain just back from his first combat action in Afghanistan, and already a man to watch. And the third is their cousin...a young man named Jack Ryan, Jr.

Jack was raised on intrigue. As his father moved through the ranks of the CIA and then into the White House, Jack received a life course in the world and the way it operates from agents, statesmen, analysts, Secret Service men, and black ops specialists such as John Clark and Ding Chavez. He wants to put it all to work now, but when he knocks on the front door of "the Campus," he finds that nothing has prepared him for what he is about to encounter. For it is indeed a different world out there, and in here. And it is about to become far more dangerous.

The Teeth of the Tiger

I love Clancy, and this book would be very good if it were not abridged. The Problem with Clancy on Audible is the abridgments simply cut out too much of the book. They are left hollow and choppy and simply don't work. Very disappointed. Please Mr. Clancy, give Audible unabridged versions of your books!

The Teeth of the Tiger

This book was very captivating, the characters well understood and their focus and motivation are well received and shared.

If this Audio version has one thing wrong it is the abrupt end to the story. Now I have to go out and find the hardcover to see if this is how the story actually ends. I hope NOT!

If you are a Tom Clancy fan, as am I, you may not find this to be his best work, however, given the topic and its timeliness; this will draw you into the world of "what if", where Tom Clancy is the reigning king.

Huge Clancy Fan here

I thought the book was read well and the story line was great. I guess the only issue I had was it seemed to end to early and left the listener feeling like they left oout the last two chapters of the story

The Ending?

I couldn't believe it was over. It really leaves you hanging. Clancy wrote this simply for a spring board to more books. I was disappointed.

Ok, but not great

Good Clancy style and the beginnings of some interesting characters. But this story is just too simple. No twists, no turns, no harrowing escapes.
