    Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Tom Sagan has written hard-hitting articles from hot spots around the world. But when a controversial report from a war-torn region is exposed as a fraud, his professional reputation crashes and burns. Now he lives in virtual exile - haunted by bad decisions and the shocking truth he can never prove: that his downfall was a deliberate act of sabotage by an unknown enemy. But before Sagan can end his torment with the squeeze of a trigger, fate intervenes....

    What disappointed you about The Columbus Affair?

    Formula and cliche ...I felt like it was 1 part National Treasure 1 part Davinci Code and not the best parts of either


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Not sure...I am kind of stuck..I read a ton and listen to a ton of audio books. Looking forward to Nelson DeMilles release in Sept.


    What didn’t you like about Scott Brick’s performance?

    Awesome...does a great job as always


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Columbus Affair?

    I would probably skip the book all together

    Act of Valor takes audiences deep into the secretive world of the most elite, highly trained group of warriors in the modern world. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the U.S., a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the valiant men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitment to country, team and their families back home.

    I thought this could have been 2 or 3 books...The "missions" didn't tie well together. I loved getting a feel for what these guys o through and do on our behalf as part of our armed forces and am curious to see the movie. I would recommend this to a friend.
