Length: 11 hrs and 40 mins
Language: English
Release date: 09-12-13
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Publisher's Summary:
An edge-of-your-seat original prequel novel based on Showtime's hit series, Homeland.
Beirut, 2006. CIA operations officer Carrie Mathison barely escapes an ambush while attempting a clandestine meeting with a new contact code-named Nightingale. Suspicious that security has been compromised, she challenges the station chief in a heated confrontation that gets her booted back to Langley.
Expert in recognizing and anticipating behavioral patterns - a skill enhanced by the bipolar disorder she keeps secret to protect her career - Carrie is increasingly certain that a terrorist plot has been set in motion. Carrie risks a shocking act of insubordination that helps her uncover secret evidence connecting Nightingale with Abu Nazir, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. Determined to stop the terrorist mastermind, she embarks on an obsessive quest that will nearly destroy her.
Filled with the suspense and plot twists that have made Homeland a must-watch series, this riveting tale reveals the compelling untold backstories of the series' main characters and takes fans deeper into the life and mind of one brilliant woman spy.
Critic Reviews:
"Thrilling, clever, beautifully-made television" (The Telegraph)
"The big new US TV drama you won't want to miss" (The Guardian)
"The best thriller on American television" (New York Post)
Members Reviews:
Great book - awful narration
Would you consider the audio edition of Homeland: Carrie's Run to be better than the print version?
Definitely not. The narration is terrible.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Homeland: Carrie's Run?
None, as I was not motivated to finish because of the awful narration.
Would you be willing to try another one of Penelope Rawlinss performances?
No.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.
Any additional comments?
I'm a Homeland fan and I love to listen to audiobooks. So I though this was going to be a very good buy but it wasn't because of the very annoying narration. Surely the author didn't intend all the male characters to come across as obnoxious twats with a stiff upper lip. Because that's how they all sound. I'm not sure why some narrators think that they completely need to alter their voice when they are narrating someone of the opposite sex but some do and Penelope Rawlins is one of them. And she sounds terrible. I have managed to get through just over an hour but I find that I'm not at all motivated to go back to it. I will need to buy the print version because I would love to finish the story though, the one hour I have heard was well written and a promising story.
