This author is new to me and I very much enjoyed the military flavor and plot twists in this audiobook. I'm retired Army and he certainly captured the language and culture of the service. One star off for a romance that blossomed with rather unlikely rapidity.
I especially liked the narrator, Colin Ricks. I've not heard his voice before and will certainly look for more reads by him. There were a lot of voices to do in this one, including several with Hispanic accents, and I did not tire of the variety he was able to create. As I grew up near the border, it was refreshing to hear the Spanish pronounced correctly.

Would you try another book from Stephenie Meyer and/or Ellen Archer?

No.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman

Did Ellen Archer do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Doesn't do male voices well.

What character would you cut from The Chemist?

The Chemist.

Any additional comments?

This book had a promising start. Then came the love scene, where the heretofore ice-cold interrogator, The Chemist, becomes some teen girl and falls for the Nice Boy she's recently tortured. Gag me with a spoon. This read like a story for lovelorn teens. Couldn't finish it.

What would have made The Lions of Lucerne better?

Believable assassins

What was most disappointing about Brad Thor’s story?

In every scene involving gunfire, so-called highly trained mercenaries spray our hero and friends with withering automatic weapons fire. . .AND CAN'T HIT A THING! And these are guys who carry out a precision abduction of the President? Do they throw grenades or use any other weapons a trained soldier would have at his disposal? Nope.

Their ineptitude is unbelievable, literally so.

Have you listened to any of Armand Schultz’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Yes, it means I won't waste any of my credits on Brad Thor's books.

Any additional comments?

I'm sorry I bought Path of the Assassin before listening to this.
