About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

He's America's most brilliant president ever. He's also a psychopath.

US president Keegan Barrett swept into office on his success as director of the CIA. Six months into his first term, he devises a clandestine power grab with a deadly motive: Revenge.

President Barrett personally orders Special Agents Liam Grey and Noa Himel to execute his plan, but their loyalties are divided. As CIA agents they've sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all threats, both foreign and domestic.

When the threat comes directly from the Oval Office, that's where the blowback begins.

Cool story

I would recommend this audio book for those who like political novel. The narration is done by a man and a woman and although this could annoy some listener, I did not dislike the dual reading. Overall it was entertaining.

A Great Story

I loved this book. Living thru the trump regime was terrifying - a second term could easily follow this story line. I loved the narrators and thoughtful role of women as truth sayers and balance to those who seek power at any cost ! This book made me reflect on the expression by English lord Acton - power corrupts - Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Wow what a story

Excellent narration as usual for a James Patterson audio book. Story began strong and intriguing before disintegrating into a power woman charade. Such a shame.
