Publisher's Summary:

From acclaimed author and screenwriter Derek Haas comes a unique and thrilling twist on a family story - what happens when an elite assassin becomes a father?

Now a new dad, the infamous Silver Bear finds himself staying up late for feedings and changing diapers - all while leading the double life of a contract killer. The struggle is not with his conscience. He enjoys his gig. But a child forces him to weigh selfishness versus safety. Continue his line of work, and he'll always wonder if he's putting his child's life at risk.

His partner, Risina, serves as his fence. Like Columbus, she's good at her job and likes doing it. An unusual take on working motherhood....

When the next assignment comes in, both Columbus and Risina are surprised to find that the mark is another assassin: a brash, young killer named Castillo. Castillo is an assassin on the rise. Even Columbus is impressed by his tenacity and talent - and as he closes in on his target, he realizes that Castillo is a younger version of himself. It's almost like looking in a mirror. Castillo has even studied Columbus's work.

But Columbus's assignment is clear: kill the young man. However, Castillo learns that his hero and unwitting mentor has a family - a revelation with enormous ramifications.

Love this series! Start from the first and read all 4....

The whole series is excellent! Easy to read, moves quickly, fun and entertaining...

I so enjoy the writing

I so enjoy the writing, the characters,the plot twists. Columbus brings us to all levels of emotion. Can't wait for the next book!

Father knows Best

Haas's books are eagerly awaited since he introduced us to the Silver Bear. He doesn't disappoint here, although there is the twist that Columbus has a wife (Risina) and young son. The latter is particularly important and drives the emotions and feelings of Columbus and Risina. as they partner in the their business. This is a real page turner and well worth the read.

Thought provoking

Two professional assassins are trying to kill each other. That straightforward premise makes for an exciting story. As this book ends, however, I was thinking more about the moral choices this book exposes. The message is deeper than the shoot em up story. Liked it.

A United States senator is murdered on the floor of the Senate by an invisible assassin; a French nobleman in Jerusalem during the First Crusades gives rise to a new order, the Knights Templar; a creature of dark mythology becomes the power behind the Third Reich. Three supposedly unrelated events weaving their way through the corridors of time as if by no reason or rhyme. But what if all these moments were connected through the incredible exploits of one man? An immortal man destined to battle evil throughout the ages!

Members Reviews:

This story is a hoot!

Okay, this book was a hoot! It is done in the style of the Dick Tracy stories of the 30's and 40's. Once into the story it was thoroughly engrossing. I am going to be looking for sequels. Really, this is a very entertaining story. Immortal good guy, immortal bad guy, invisible assassins, the whole nine yards. Think Indiana Jones with a team.

I was given this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Wonderful Narration Bring Story to Life

Where does Rise of the Black Legion rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

One of the best.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rise of the Black Legion?

The thrilling action sequence at the finale.

What does J. Scott Bennett bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Even the slow moments in the book are given added drama via Bennett's enthusiastic reading.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Hope to listen to many more audio books by this excellent narrator.

Adventure, bit of mystery, lots of action

It took me a little while to fully get into the book as there is a lot of back and forth story building happening in the beginning. Once the story is set though, the book starts moving like an action movie! There was also quite a bit of humour and wit in that I wasnt expecting. There is a nice reveal at the end of the book that I thought was pretty nicely done. I loved the characters, especially Hale. There is a nice afterword that explains how the story and characters came together and I know I definitely want more from this series!

The narration here started off ok, but got really good as the story rolled along (I probably just needed to get used to Bennetts voice?). I think my real issue was in one of the first scenes I wasnt convinced by one of the accents. However the narrator completely redeemed himself by later brilliantly doing a dialogue scene in a hanger where each character had a different accent, and not only were they convincing accents, but he kept them straight through the dialogue back and forth. The narrator also did a good job in the action scenes, which helps immerse you in the story.

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast dot com

Lot better than I expected!

What made the experience of listening to Rise of the Black Legion the most enjoyable?

I was a little put off at the very beginning of the book with the narrator's voice and I think it had to do with how the story pacing as well but soon I was all in! Narrator's voice made the characters come alive and helped me "watch" the movie unfold.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alan Hale is definitely my favorite character in this story.

A GREAT STORY DEFINITELY NOT FOR CHILDREN

What did you love best about The Girl in Black Pajamas?

IT WAS WELL-WRITTEN AND WELL-TOLD. THE IDEA OF HAVING A CHILD IN AN ADULT STORY WAS VERY INTERESTING.

What other book might you compare The Girl in Black Pajamas to and why?

THE GIRL IN WHITE PAJAMAS - IT WAS THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SERIES. THE MAIN CHARACTERS WERE INTRODUCED IN THAT ONE.

What about Jim Tedders performance did you like?

HE HAS A GREAT VOICE - DEEP AND PROFESSIONAL.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A SERIOUS STORY IT HAD SOME VERY FUNNY PARTS.

ANOTHER GREAT STORY IN THE PAJAMA SERIES

What made the experience of listening to The Girl in Black Pajamas the most enjoyable?

Jim Tedder nailed Bogie McGruder. He brought the character to life and showed him as a man who could just as easily snap a man's neck as hold his child in his arms.

What did you like best about this story?

The dynamics of a newly formed family with the parents who felt guilt over neglecting Isabella for her first three years and over-compensated by indulging her. Isabella ran roughshod over them dressing as she pleased and watching Kill Bill.

Which scene was your favorite?

Isabella and Darryl being followed by a limousine and then chased by that vehicle.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Isabella and Walter saying good-by

Good story line - but

The storyline was good, but the editing was awful!!!! W/o giving the book away, it was about the process a book goes through b/4 it's published. And one of the steps is editing the manuscript. Whoever did this job on this book should be fired. There were more misspelled, misquoted, lack of syntax and just plain glaring word associations than a six grade essay. I am really disappointed in this book. The storyline was great, but the glaring errors took your mind away from what the author was trying to say. Keith, fire your editing team.

Intriguing mystery but held back by language and editing

The mystery conceived by the author is engaging but the book suffers from a lack of editing and language. I did complete this book but I will not read others by this author.

Four Stars

Very good.

Keith is Awesome!!

I'm hooked. his books protray strong women in prositions of power.. scandal in book form... wonderful!! I'm reading all of his books!!

Worst narration ever!

This was a good book ruined by the worst narration I have ever heard. I have listened to hundreds of audiobooks since 2000, and this was painful to listen to. Had to stop listening half way through. Mr farmer should write and leave the narration to the pros.

The Miles Flew By

I buy some books because they are "of a type." I bought DS Kane's Blood Ridge because I hadn't read one of his books and wanted to try one and because I thought it might kill time on a long drive. Blood Ridge did not kill time. It annihilated it. I lost all sense of time on my drive, and I missed my exit at my destination because I was too much in the story. I didn't finish the book on my trip, and I found myself doing house chores when I got home in order to keep listening. I hate house chores. Good fun. Fast pace. Detailed research. Perfect reader. Excellent, convoluted spy story and origin story for a series character.

Not a great spy story

What disappointed you about Bloodridge?

The story was trite and silly. All the things tried before were crammed in making a rambling unbelievable story. I was looking for a successor to Daniel Silva, this is not that by a far cry.

Would you ever listen to anything by DS Kane again?

Probably not, unless the reviews really say his style has changed.

Did Denny Delk do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, but his delivery was dry.

Any additional comments?

Really not what I was looking for.

Members Reviews:

Wow, what a great book

What did you love best about Field of Fire?

The entire story line, with all the twists and turns. Is a mystery readers delight there are just so many things you never see coming. One of the best books I bought all year!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Field of Fire?

The big final confrontation, and the flash backs to duarte's army experiences

Which scene was your favorite?

The pawn shop battle and confrontation just a good flow of events and dialogue

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

In the final conflict Duarte was the only one that kept his head and knew the plan and refused to alter the plan

"Do The Right Thing"

If you could sum up Field of Fire in three words, what would they be?

Do Right Thing.

Would you be willing to try another book from James O. Born? Why or why not?

No, as purchased only due to Jonathan Davis as the reader. Reader can make a phone book sound exciting. This book was good, but it needed better editing as it did not need to be almost 12 hrs. Author could have cut out or done a better "Hemingway edit". Great "Key Stone Cops" chase. Other Amazon reviewers said this author is self published.

What does Jonathan Davis bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Sandra Browns' Mean Streak is my all time fave of this reader. I have down loaded many stories just to listen to this reader, he is that good. Mr. Davis made "Rocket" so yummy and as heroic as a guy can get.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when in the "field of fire", action was first class. When our hero goes through his last 3 paper note messages.

Any additional comments?

This was worth the $ as I got it on 50% sale.

Publisher's Summary:

An American diplomat is forced to confront the devastation of her past when she is assigned to remote Northern Afghanistan.

In 1983 junior diplomat and brilliant linguist Angela Morgan witnessed the death of her young husband during the bombing of the US embassy in Beirut. Devastated by her loss, she fled back to Washington, DC, and hid in the backwaters of the US State Department. With the exception of a two-year tour of duty in the former Soviet Union in the late '80s, she managed for almost two decades to avoid high-profile postings that would advance her career. Now, with that career about to dead end and no true connections at home, she must take the one assignment available - at a remote British army outpost in Northern Afghanistan. Unwelcome among the soldiers and unaccepted by the local government and warlords, Angela has to fight to earn the respect of her colleagues, especially the enigmatic Mark Davies, a British major who is by turns her staunchest ally and her fiercest critic. Frustrated at her inability to contribute to the nation's reconstruction, Angela slips out of camp disguised in a burka to provide aid to the refugees in the war-torn region. She becomes their farishta ("angel" in the local Dari language), discovers a new purpose for her life, and finds a way to finally put her grief behind her. Drawing on the author's own experiences as a diplomat in Northern Afghanistan, Farishta is a deeply moving and fast-paced story of a woman struggling to move beyond a past trauma who finds a new community, a new love, and a new sense of self in the process.

Members Reviews:

An illuminating account of life in Afghanistan

If you could sum up Farishta in three words, what would they be?

Illuminating, interesting, moving

What other book might you compare Farishta to and why?

I would compare Farishta to memoirs of war because it reads like a memoir sometimes, but also with books with good accounts of a real, reasonable and human female characters.

Which scene was your favorite?

My favourite scene was when Angela has the idea for the solar ovens and knows how life improving this simple idea can be.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It's particularly moving the time she visits a female prison to learn if the female inmates are being mistreated. They are there for "marital crimes" and although there is not immediate mistreatment of them, they are being severely wronged by a male-dominated system and are completed powerless and silenced.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book, not knowing exactly what kind of story it would tell. Its a semi-autobiographical novel about a fictitious Angela Morgan, a forty-seven year old American diplomat whose personal life is basically inexistent and her experiences in a PTR camp (Provincial Reconstruction Team) in Afghanistan in the year 2005. In this year, the war was being fought most to the south, in Iraq, so she does not experience a lot of war, but its there, in the background, with all its hazards, and sometimes it just pops up. The main character is a levelheaded female struggling with some personal issues but she is a reasonable, good humored and likeable person, and its interesting to see how she goes on in her year in Afghanistan, especially with trying to overcome her fears and reaching for other people.

Publisher's Summary:

A routine trip to China turns disastrous for intelligence agent Kurt Vetter when a deadly series of attacks on civilian targets plunges the country into anarchy. Trapped in a disintegrating nation, Kurt and his team take to the war-torn streets of Beijing to locate a Chinese double agent who may know the truth behind the source of the violence.

As the politicians in Washington struggle with how to respond to the imminent collapse of the United States' largest trading partner, the responsibility falls on Kurt to prevent the destruction of the modern global economy.

When the conflict begins to spread beyond China's borders, Kurt and his team learn the threat is larger and more insidious than anyone could have imagined. If they don't act fast, the entire region, and perhaps the entire world may be draw into a conflict unlike any seen before.

Thriller with contemporary implications

Blood in the Streets is book three in William Esmont's Kurt Vetter series. The plot is tight and the possibilities are chillingly realistic.

I have not read the first two books in the series so can not speak to this volume's relative strength but I found this to be a well-written story with the recurring characters well-developed. They would likely have been even more rounded were I familiar with the earlier volumes.

I listened to the audio version and found the narration to be quite good. I would stop short of saying very good but it was close. There were times when I felt it was a little flat but overall it was understandable and added to the experience of the story.

Reviewed from a copy made available via LibraryThing.

Kurt and Amanda are at it again.

Any additional comments?

Another installment of fast paced government cover-ups and political disputes. This is about the same length as the first two novels in the series and again Amanda and Kurt are main players. This time though, they are dealing with China, North Korea, and Japan. This book delved more into the characters emotions than the past books which really helped keeping up the reader's interest in the events and what was going to happen to the characters. I have to say, I'm hooked on this series and can't wait until the next book comes out (if there will be a next one). Note: I received this book for free through LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.
