Publisher's Summary

America’s worst nightmare has just become a brutal reality. The most unlikely terrorist enemy of all now holds a knife against the country’s throat. With both diplomatic and conventional military options swept from the table, the president calls upon Navy SEAL turned Secret Service agent Scot Harvath to disable a brilliantly orchestrated conspiracy intended to bring the United States to its knees.

Teamed with beautiful Russian Intelligence agent Alexandra Ivanova and a highly trained CIA paramilitary detachment, Harvath embarks on an adrenaline-fueled search that spans the world - and leads to a final, deadly showdown on American soil, with a lethal and sinister enemy from the past.

Take another thrill ride with Scot Harvath.

Great story ruined by narrator

Story is great, Narrator is terrible. Voice sounds muffled, and talks too fast. Simetimes difficult to determine which character is talking, due to little to no variation in tone of voice. With an already too-fast narration, the action sequences are almost impossible to understand as narrator speeds up & ignores all punctuation so much so that I had to adjust the pIayback speed.

Poor narration

Only listened to a few chapters. The narration spoiled the whole thing. Love the series, so skipped a few books to get the original narrator
