I'm a fan of legal procedural and military fiction; so I approached this novel with fairly high expectations. sad to say I was underwhelmed. It started with a voice with a very decided British accent. it continued with shallow plot development relying on stereotypes for characters both the good guys and the villains. I know you should exercise a suspension I f disbelief when reading fiction but there is no way a nearly rookie JAG would appointed to try three terrorist chaplains.
His storyline might have worked better had the protagonist been a mid career HAG officer suffering from PTSD who has a spirtual reawakening while pursuing and prosecuting the terrorists.
That said, I not really a fan of religious fiction. Fortunately the Bible thumping didn't detract from the plot and added to the contrast between Islam Christianity.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book. Once you get past the very British accent for a very American book with very American characters, it is good.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. I felt like I knew ths people after listening for a while. I had to know what happened to them!

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Should have used an American accent!

Any additional comments?

I recommend all three in this series. By the end of this one, the British accent is tolerable. Still a bad choice for a narrator, in my opinion!

Good Story, But What's With the British Narrator?

This first in series of Navy Justice novels is a great read. It is not to bogged down in details, moves along well, and maintains a tension that the reader will enjoy. Zack Brewer is captivating as a litigator who struggles with his faith as a Christian and his responsibilities as a Naval JAG Officer. The premise of the book is believable, and it is well written. However, the choice to use a British narrator is distracting. His British mispronounciations of U.S. terms and words in normal conversation and in the legal setting is distracting, almost laughable. The performance of foreign accents is excellent. One would wish that he would be able to mimic American English as well. When the narrator uses British pronounciations when portraying any Naval Officer, even the President of the U.S., it is awful. A Britisher trying to sound Southern is unbelievable! Change the narrator for future volumes and this could be one of the best!

Keep of the good work, Don Brown!

The basic legal plot was suspenseful enough to keep me interested. However, undertones of religion and conservative political view kept appearing in the story line and were jarring. Also, if an author includes settings like the deep south, please teach the reader how to say the place names.

Worth finishing

If you could sum up Treason in three words, what would they be?

A believable story

Would you be willing to try another book from Don Brown? Why or why not?

I would like to read another one just to see if the narration is better

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of James Adams?

Anyone

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No

Any additional comments?

James Adams needs to learn that the old pirate talk for sailors is no longer with us, Admirals talk like regular people, and the navy has conversations like real men
