Teaming up with beautiful and tenacious British-born agent Naomi Kharmai, Ryan intends to break every rule in order to hunt down his former pupil, whatever the cost to himself. As Ryan puts together the pieces of a terrifying puzzle, and as the elusive March taunts him, always staying one step ahead, he discovers the madman's crusade is personal as well as political - and Ryan himself is an unwitting pawn. With the clock ticking down and the fate of the country resting uneasily on his shoulders, Ryan is caught in a desperate game of cat-and-mouse with the most cunning opponent he's ever faced, one who will never stop until he's committed the ultimate act of evil - a man who is all the more deadly for being one of our own.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
I liked the book in general. Although most of these types of book are fairly predictable, but still not too bad for a 1st release. Especially since the author was just 23 when released. Sad that he died so suddenly.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
So soWhat aspect of Christopher Lane’s performance would you have changed?
I really didn't care for the narrator. He does a better job with female voices than male and he too monotone in most of it like he was just reading it and not acting.Could you see The American being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Perhaps ... no clueAny additional comments?
I'm pretty good and forcing myself to finish a book no matter how bad the book/narrator. Mr. Lane much, much better in the second book in the series. If you can make it through this one, you'll be pleased with the second one.Not too bad for a 1st book

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I am willing to recommend the author. I wish I had read the paper version first because the narration ruined it for me.Would you recommend The American to your friends? Why or why not?
Same as above. Production is also awful. Some added "effects" such as phone and radio dialog and listening to someone shout in another room are just plain poor and amateurish attempts to make this title better. That coupled with the terrible narration makes me want to tell readers not to waste your money on the audio book without first sampling. Buy the paper version or get a different narrator. I will not be purchasing any more of Britton's audio books without a change in narrator and production expertise.Would you be willing to try another one of Christopher Lane’s performances?
Absolutely not. He is nasal, his voice sounds mucousy and cracks and pitches at odd places.Was The American worth the listening time?
Again the story is entertaining but the narration is too painful to bother with.Any additional comments?
Someone give Christopher Lane some Mucinex and a box of tissues.Decent Characters, Decent Plot, AWFUL Production

Would you consider the audio edition of The American to be better than the print version?
can't compare. I haven't read print versionDid the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Certainly kept me interested enough to want to keep coming back until finishedWhat do you think the narrator could have done better?
change in inflection as related to different characters. Seemed to get better as he went along.Good Start

Being predictable and cliché does not have to prevent a book from being entertaining and exciting. Heck, I like Clive Cussler books. The American is OK in that respect. The specific terrorist hunt and chase are good. I was not buying the villain and terrorist conspiracy, but it is no worse than many other novels. I can see this book would be great for those that like a macho hero and they will enjoy it. I was not a fan of the narrator who worked hard to give recognizable voices to the individual characters. While I give him credit for this, many of the accents and speech cadences did not work for me.
A word of caution are about the female characters. Heck, I am a guy and they were still written way too much from a guy’s perspective. The girls all attracted to the moody Kealey. We hear about how stylish the women are dressed with perfectly coiffed (impractically so) and later Kealey says that one of the things he loves about his fiancee is that she never thinks about her appearance or spends any time looking in the mirror, but she is totally beautiful.
Finally, the book ends the immediate threat, but more than sets itself up for the next chapter. I meant chapter because this feels like an episode of a themed television show. It is a book that I would not feel bad reading on a long flight, but think there are way better series to get connected with for the long term.
A little bit thrilling, but very predictable
