About this listen

It’s strike - and counterstrike - as John Dempsey takes the fight to the Russians in a riveting Tier One Thriller by the Wall Street Journal bestselling authors of American Operator.

When shadow warrior and former Tier One Navy SEAL John Dempsey goes undercover to meet with a Vory arms dealer, he thinks he’s laying the groundwork to penetrate the Russian criminal underground. Instead, he walks into a trap orchestrated by Zeta, the secret Russian task force behind a recent assassination attempt on the US President. For Dempsey and his team, the only way out is to lay waste to the Russians, putting a target on Ember’s back.

With Ember pitted against Zeta, a dangerous game of strike and counterstrike ensues - sanctioned in the halls of the Kremlin and the White House but disavowed to the world. As the line between espionage, counterterrorism, and spec ops blurs, Ember is ordered to eliminate their ultimate adversary, which means taking the fight against Zeta to Russian soil. But like a phoenix risen from the Cold War embers, Zeta is more capable than anyone imagines, and the Russians retaliate with an operation that will find Dempsey and task force Ember battling for survival.

Fantastic

These authors are truly pushing the boundaries. I can’t believe they had the balls to do what they did in this book. The amount of emotion this series has been able to draw out of me has been impressive.

The early part of the book was heavily focused on the perspective of the Russians, and it got a little too long. But every scene with the Americans was well worth the wait. The authors expertly switched perspectives in the final act, once again showing that they are the kings of writing chase scenes/man hunts.

Dempsey is a badass and all of the characters in Ember are peak of likability. I’ll stop there so I don’t spoil anything.

What an excellent, excellent story

I purchased this book because it was on special and purely because it was narrated by Ray Porter. I didn't realise it was book 5 in a series at the time, but I'm so glad I do now!
With all the details, it'd be easy to imagine getting lost in the mumbo-jumbo of the special ops world, but it is written so well and delivered brilliantly by Porter, there are moments you're left on the edge of your seat.
I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to this series, so back to Book 1 I go!
