About this listen

A major new thriller series featuring Ryan Drake - a British CIA agent on his most dangerous mission yet - for fans of Lee Child, David Baldacci and Vince Flynn.  

Ryan Drake is a man who finds people who don't want to be found. Once a British soldier, he now works for the CIA, leading an elite investigation team that tracks down missing agents. But his latest mission - to free a prisoner, code-named Maras, and bring her back onto US soil within 48 hours - is more dangerous than anything his team has attempted before. 

Despite the risks, the team successfully completes their mission, but for Drake the real danger has only just begun. Faced with a terrible threat, he is forced to go on the run with Maras. Hunted by his former comrades, Drake is left with no choice but to trust a dangerous woman he barely knows.

There are a lot of negative reviews here and I suspect the the majority of them are because of the author's YouTube persons "The Critical Drinker". It is an unfortunate result of the times we live in, but don't let them sway you.
If you like good spy thrillers and realistic, deep, and flawed characters then this is for you. There were moments in this story that had my full attention to the point of barely moving when I was supposed to be doing housework and listening at the same time. I found myself standing for minutes on end, fully immersed in the story, driven to distraction and oblivious to anything else. There aren't many authors that can get that kind of reaction from me. Truly heart-pounding at times. This is an excellent story and well worth your time.

Brilliant

Overall I enjoyed it even though it's a genre I don't usually read, I will definitely finish the rest of the series, so The Drinker can have one on me. I thought the bit about being tracked via the Magellan GPS unit was a little contrived as GPS doesn't work like that (unless the Magellan had some sort of outbound communication, but my brief research into their devices from around 2007 seems to imply they don't), which kind of took me out of the story a little bit. My main motivation for listening to this book was that I am a fan of the Critical Drinker and I wanted to confirm that he can actually write, this was definitely confirmed by this book

I wanted to know if the Critical Drinker could actually write.

Good listen.
