over the top

Revisado: 07-03-21

The narrator's russian and german accents are hard to bear, and they take up much of the dialogue. the story line isn't about the grey man'; it's about lunatics trying to do him in. and they are boring.

there ain't no single shot M-16.

Revisado: 04-29-20

author says M16A2 has 3 modes: single shot, semi-auto, and full auto.(!) Lacking in versimilitude. narrator reads in a monotone. I didn't care for the beginning ,which posits that a marine lieutenant is torturing an Iraqi familty. Our hero intervenes and gets into a fistfight with the Marine lieutenant. Not for me.

I dont get it.

. we spend at least six hours of this book sailing around the ocean and visiting in Mozambique. Then we get to [redacted] . In the beginning, there's a bunch of stuff about how the DoD reviewed the book and "reacted" the sensitive information. Remember, this is fiction. Then we get this: " it was built during the time the [redacted] occupied the Iberian penisula." WHAT? Middle ages?? classified? Moors? I cant stand it when an author pulls my leg. I turned it off. asked for a refund. Save your credit.

this thing is so tedious that I couldn't stay for the twist, which I am sure is there . It also has technical mistakes: Nobody can look at a S&W revolver on a table and tell it has a hair trigger. Not the narrator, not the hero (archer), not nobody. and I don't care that his new suit is a Hart, Shaffner, &Marx. the book is at least half padding. Moreover our hero does unbelievable, stupid stuff, like carrying around in his pocket absolute conclusive proof of guilt of the crime at hand. I quit listening before somebody finds it.

right wing author

when the author rants about the federal government stealing our freedoms in the start of the book, I'll go elsewhere.

yuck

I come to suspqIense novels with a set of expectations, and this book violeted them. I listened to a james patterson book one time where, about half way through, it develops that the main narrator is the murderer. This is sort of like that. It's like "didn't see that coming, and didn't want to." I quit the book. Bless you Audible, for your return policy.
And btw, too much detail on the perverse serial killing. I think Box likes that stuf too much.

breaks rules of the genre.

Revisado: 08-29-16

I'm a little inflexible when it comes to my action/thrillers. Simplest rule is there can be no inaccuracies about firearms--like once in a Spenser novel, I think, when the guy switched off the safety on a Glock (only safety on a Glock is in the trigger). This book has an obvious mistake like that on a .45. I leave it to you to find.

More importantly, the hero can't kill people gratuitously. Most important though, is that the fundamental set up must, at some level, make sense. If you had dedicated sniper teams who had successfully engaged and defeated Russian forces in the Near East, would you set them up for the Russians to kill to keep the operation secret?? Preposterous! I am returning the book.

way too slow

Revisado: 06-03-16

This book is beautifully written, very detailed slice of life in the spanish civil war kind of thing, but I kept wanting Mitch Rapp to kill somebody, and he never even showed up.

thrill ride of course; couple of glitches

Revisado: 05-26-16

As always, super exciting. Narrator great again. Mitch seems to miss the forest for the trees more than usual. My main complaint is an extremely detailed explanation of Rapp swapping the ammo in his Glock--subsonic for supersonic. If you know how a semi auto pistol functions, and you pay attention, you will realize that his actions will result in a jammed gun 100% of the time. Without the detail, it's no biggie; with the detail, it's like a big wart on the book. Who edits these things?
