Publisher's summary

Red Cell follows Kyra Stryker and Jonathan Burke, two outcasts in the Agency who are brought together in the Red Cell, the agency’s out-of-the-box think tank. Stryker is a young and beautiful agent who’s struggling to recover from a job gone bad during her first assignment in Venezuela, while Burke is a straight-laced analyst who’s pissed off all his colleagues with his knack for always being right, political consequences be damned.

When a raid on Chinese spies in Taiwan ends in a shootout, CIA Director Cooke turns to the Red Cell to figure out why China is ready to invade the island nation without any fear of reprisal from the U.S. Navy. Stryker and Burke’s only lead is the top CIA informant in China, codenamed Pioneer, and they’re tasked with extracting him before the Chinese can get to him.

From the White House to a Navy battleship in the South China Sea, Henshaw takes listeners on a whirlwind race against time as Stryker and Burke try to save Pioneer and discover the hidden threat to America’s power and keeping the peace: China’s top secret weapon, the Assassin’s Mace.

Good story but terrible narration and editing

Other reviews have said this, but it is worth repeating. The story was good but nearly ruined by the narrator. Almost monotone, except for oddly emphasizing a word out of place. Very few pauses, even between sentences and paragraphs, it was like listening to a 30 minute run on sentence. This made it difficult to follow when the location changed and different characters were speaking. Editing didn’t catch or fix these issues or even out different recordings. It felt like the audiobook was an afterthought. Very unfortunate.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
