About this listen

From the bestselling author of DEFCON One comes an explosive techno-thriller.

While Congress debates the merits of continued funding for the stealth bomber, sinister forces have their own goals in mind. During a training exercise, a B-2 bomber disappears. When search efforts produce no evidence that the bomber crashed, the US Air Force has no choice but to acknowledge that one of its most secret and high-tech aircraft has been hijacked.

Recovery of the B-2 and its crew becomes the president's highest priority, and the Kremlin claims no knowledge of the missing aircraft. Finally, intelligence leads to what at first seems a very unlikely suspect: Cuba. But could the tiny nation pull off a theft of this magnitude? And what might its plans be for the highly sought-after aircraft? Getting the answers to these questions becomes the top-secret mission for CIA agent Steve Wickham, for without those answers, only one solution will remain: invasion. And if the US invades, World War III will certainly follow.

Annoying Narrator

I persisted through a third of the book but the narrator's voice drove me to distraction and I wasn't able to focus on the story, which was not so bad.

Very annoying book

This was a good listen. I read some of the other reviews and did not have an issue with the performance. I do listen at 1.7x. That might be the reason

Good story, listen at 1.7x

I guess with most stories you have to accept something happening that seem impossible.
This story is just too hard to swallow. Firstly you have to believe that two decorated US military pilots would allow a secret stealth plane to be hijacked by a civilian engineer, and be taken to Cuba into Russian hands.
You also have to believe that the White House would need to patiently wait until morning for ‘detailed’ background checks on the pilots and the civilian flying with them. When to work on the secret project that would have already been down.
Then you have to accept that the two pilots that didn’t fight off the civilian or crash their plane rather than allow the plane and themselves be taken by the Russians. Worked so quickly to escape, but didn’t do a basic check on the plane they used and chose to fly to Florida when Migs where at the airbase they are escaping from. Rather than fly to Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, but an American military base.
Also the military brass didn’t once suspect anything but a crash into the bay could have happened and had no contingency plans, or other aircraft on overwatch during the test of Shadow 37.

I really tried to finish this but could only last a third in.

I tried but couldn’t finish it.
