    John Carr, aka Oliver Stone-once the most skilled assassin his country ever had-stands in Lafayette Park in front of the White House, perhaps for the last time. The president has personally requested that Stone serve his country again on a high-risk, covert mission. Though he's fought for decades to leave his past career behind, Stone has no choice but to say yes. Then Stone's mission changes drastically before it even begins. It's the night of a state dinner honoring the British prime minister.

    Ramon says: "Great story with nice twists"
    "John Carr does it again."

    Would you listen to Hell's Corner again? Why?

    Yes. It would be a spoiler to say why.


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

    It was fast moving and even Oliver Stone was constantly guessing what was going on. He even questioned his own abilities. Was Baldacci recognizing John Carrs limits?

    Jack Ryan has only just moved back into the Oval Office when he is faced with a new international threat. An aborted coup in the People's Republic of China has left President Wei Zhen Lin with no choice but to agree with the expansionist policies of General Su Ke Quiang. They have declared the South China Sea a protectorate and are planning an invasion of Taiwan. The Ryan administration is determined to thwart China’s ambitions, but the stakes are dangerously high as a new breed of powerful Chinese anti-ship missiles endanger the US Navy's plans to protect the island.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Threat Vector to be better than the print version?

    I have only read the first Jack Jr book. The rest have been audible and great


    What about Lou Diamond Phillips’s performance did you like?

    Does a creditable job with all the characters.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    A great listen. Took two sessions to finish it.


    Any additional comments?

    The cyber attack lacked the detail of some of Clancy's previous technical descriptions. However it had at the same time all the anomalies of a cyber attack and like horror pictures of old was scary because of what you didn't see

    Where does No Time Left rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    The story started out really well. Once the time travel condrum was played out the ending was, well predictable.


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    Blah


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

    First performance I heard and it was fine.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Go back in time and kill it.
