I LOVED this one! Rene Ballard is the focus. Madison Lintz from the TV show joins the cast with great effect! She is a wonderful in-person AND voice actress. Crossover with Harry B. (Titus) is great for Rene’s stories. Compelling drama jumps off the pages. Connelly does a great job of overlapping and interwoven simultaneous plots. This is one of my favorites and most memorable yet. Fun read, lots of believable action .Also, I can visualize Maggie Q as Rene Ballard. Great series casting choice. Perfect for the role. Highly recommended book and especially Audible.

Extremely well written. Almost like a novel. Focus is on an important slice of Civil War history. Edmund Ruffin narrative is particularly compelling and enormously interesting as a metaphor for the overblown chivalric hubris of the southern “fire eaters of the time. A doomed and artificially self-aggrandized character from beginning to end. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Highly recommended!

This is a great Bosch/Ballard novel. Great plots. Clearly, Ballard is becoming the new Bosch to carry on. Bosch is a great, but flawed mentor. Ballard is a detective genius, though unappreciated by the LAPD. Together, they are great partners. Loved this book. Exciting right up to the last 5 minutes.”It ain’t over ‘till it’s over” . Won’t regret listening to this one!

Wow. I listened to the whole novel. Here are my takeaways:
—Austin King is not Vince Flynn or Kyle Mills
—Very formulaic plot and story line for this genre
— Major logic and unanswered questions problems with the plot line. Like how did the magnitude of the threat possibly make it to is ultimate destiny?
—Could not get excited about fertilizer as a threat
—Writing style average
—Narration average
—conclusion was anti-climactic and too sweet
In the end, the hero says “ it’s over, it’s finally over”. That’s how I felt about the book. Seems like a copy cat story to Vince Flynn an other similar authors. I will NOT be reading or listening to other Austin King books. Was disappointed!

I have listen to or watched almost all Connelly/Bosch detective stories and this is one of the very best. Great, weaving plot, great character interplay and I can actually see Bosch’s face as Titus Welliver does another sterling acting job as the reader/narrator. A complete package. Plus, Bosch’s half brother is as smart as Harry and fun to watch like Jack McCoy from Law and Order. ..but on the defense side. Fun all the way around and could not stop listening.

This “novel” by Jack Carr, made me feel both uncomfortable and excited at the same time. Jack’ s unique style in blending deep non-fiction research with a fictional expose’ of that research leads one to really think about our government, it’s lack of honesty and the elites in the deep state. It makes me uncomfortable because it makes me feel powerless to do anything about it. The fools running the country today are a far cry from the leaders of 1789 as depicted in the great book on George Washington by Ron Chernow. While those people were human the were not duplicitous like they are today. Great book by Jack Carr. Exciting and terrific plot and action. I plan to read them as fast as he can produce them.

This was great Jack Carr novel. Exciting from beginning to end. I think it is time for a James Reece/ Mitch Rapp crossover novel where they team up. Don't know that's ever been done. Could be a huge bestseller like the great Dick Wolf does with TV cop shows. Hope publishers and authors read this and consider it. Would be great fun for the fans of both.

Such bad privilege to hear my comedic hero's life story. I grew up with Mel Brooks. he is exactly my kind of funny. As Joseph Campbell says ; live your bliss as you take the hero's journey. What a 90 plus year journey. Great book! So glad he narrated it himself. A very creative and a very, very funny guy!

Awesome yarn. Compelling truth telling. Detailed research is fascinating. Writing style is novel-like. The links between Antarctica exploration and NASA is also fascinating. Narration is excellent. Recommended!

Great fun. We'll written plot and subplots. If you like Mitch Rapp you will love James Reese. Hope Reese becomes even more cunning and ruthless in the further. Pretty good in this one, though. Don't we all hate the self-righteous and bloated, narcissistic politicians and bureaucrats. Vicarious satisfaction at their expense. Looking forward to the next story.
