About this listen

Could you save the world if your world was falling apart?

Chris Collins is a CIA deputy director with a history of rogue missions. He's lost his wife, his career, and maybe his friends...but there are new "friends" around every corner. And along with the new friends, some powerful new enemies.

On a bitterly cold night in Washington DC, Chris Collins is heading home to open his favorite bottle of red, when his past walks right by him. A day later, his world falls apart. But he has no time to feel sorry for himself, as he soon realizes that evil forces are at work on an international scale and his country is under attack from within. There’s a job to be done.

In the midst of a personal crisis, he embarks on a global journey that takes him from the rugged coast of Ireland through the heart of Europe to the shimmering deserts of Morocco. He gets more than a little help from the mysterious stranger who keeps showing up in his life, but will it be enough to save innocent lives and bring some of the world's most powerful people to justice?

Includes "Rogue Enemy", a bonus story from the Chris Collins CIA Thriller series.

Really enjoy the plot but how did Chris finance the adventure. Ned is not rich and Chris is broke so where did the money come from?

Overall an engaging story and characters with an excellent performance by the Mark Veitor. However the ridiculous theme of overconsumption of alcohol was silly and annoying. Also there were lots of moments when willing suspension of disbelief were required, such as a CIA agent that seemed to answer to no one, finance that appears to grow on trees and inconsistent behaviour from female characters. Could be a great series if the author self edits a little harder and takes the story a bit more seriously- wrap up the loose ends.

What’s with the drinking??
